I've Been Dreaming...

Of replacing the old board swing seat...

 With one crafted from retired wine barrels...

 Todd took off the old...

Installed the new...

 It's time to give it a try...

 One BIG under-duck...

 And Hucky...flies!!!

I've been dreaming...

Of a wine barrel swing, of joy and of making memories.

More dreams coming true!!!!

Looking Up!

Clouds...

 And Virgil's cousins...

Smiles!!!!



Chopping...Stacking...Sawing...

Seasoned rounds ready...

 TJ comes to chop...

 Todd joins in...

 While Taylor stacks...

 The boys saw up logs downed last summer...

 Load up the Gator...

 And head for the barn...

 Sweet offspring creating...

Warmth for Gilbert's Mountain...

And memories...

Thanks, My Darlings!!!!

The Mountain...

Peeks through the morning clouds...

A lovely beginning!

Clear...

Morning Skies...

 A Foggy Valley...

 And Frost...

My companions as I begin my day...

Lovely!!

As This Day Closes...

January's waxing moon...

Rises in an almost cloudless sky!

Joy!



Cousins...

Huck & Jayde...

Fishing...and enjoying their visit...

So sweet, both!
