2008 in Pictures

We've finally gotten to Spring after a Winter that wouldn't quit.  Naturally, we spent some weekends at Possum Trot and of course, there were a few projects......   

 

                         
I bought a house this winter to rehab and resell.  These cabinets were in it and we decided they'd do nicely at the cabin along with a new top.  We now have a new sink, a new faucet and it's all easy to clean and the humidity in the cabin won't make it curl up at the edges like our last countertop!
The field below the cabin was in full bloom with some of the thousands of bulbs we've planted there.  My bride in the field.  Lovely, eh?  The flowers are too, of course....

This is the view in our back yard this spring.  It is just a spectacular year for dogwoods!

We walked up on this newborn fawn over the Memorial Day holiday at Possum Trot
I've nursed this Epiphyllum for over ten years waiting for it to bloom!  It was pretty nice! Mary Louise and I got the wedding threads out of storage and tried them on for our anniversary.  I don't think we look too bad after 36 years.... 
We watched momma cardinal sitting on the nest in our buckthorn bushes as we picked berries this summer and then one day this little guy poked his head up for a feed as we walked by!  The flowers in our front garden have been joyful this year.  So much fun to watch them carry on like this. 
Our record this summer was nine quarts one day!  And, we ran out of quarts and enthusiasm, not berries! For the first time in a long time, we had currents this year.  Lots of fruit for jelly and for freezing.
