Last grand adventure



So my last grand adventure was to conduct some research the on some historic material on the property I manage.  To get there however I had to hitch a ride on a Chinook.  Thanks to some wonderful pilots and engineers (known as the SugarBears) we got out there safe and sound, dropped off, slogged through the swampy musk keg, found our site, and then hiked back to the landing zone and met up with our ride again. 

That was just a couple of weeks ago.  Today, the last day in September I drove home to our first snow covering. Phin was having a blast and raced in circles, but he took the time to stop for a photograph. So winter has well and truly started.

Hi My name is Meg


It has been over a year since my last post.  Ha ha...  Yes I have heard from some of you, that you would like a bit of an update.  Well life has entered the beginning of winter here again.  We had our first flush of flurries and sub-freezing temperatures.  The state is in a bit of worries and fears for the coming winter and the scare of the rising cost of heating fuel.  My last fill-up was as $4.70 a gallon for fuel and they expect it to head toward $10 a gallon by the end of  winter.  So everyone is trying to do the most to insulate their homes and cut back on their energy costs.  I would estimate it is a locale with the most LED lights in town (although I still have to get the LED lights for my exterior lights for winter.)

So this is just a little update and I promise a more exciting update soon with exciting stories.
