Walking in the Winter....................

Walking on the county snowmobile trail this year has been a pleasure because we have had enough snow for the trail groomer to go back and forth. Thus it is a nice even surface to walk on. This nice surface goes at least 7 miles north from our place.
If you look close or make the second picture larger you will see a deer that crossed in front of me on Thursday morning.

Winter Fruits

Just some of the different berries available to the birds. They obviously are not all that popular or they wouldn't be in the woods.
On top it is high bush cranberries. In the middle it is sumac. And the bottom photo is Buckthorn. An invasive species that we need to get rid of.

This is it

One last thing on candy bars then it will be time to move on.

How to eat a candy bar. I learned this from the movie "The Quiet Man" when Mickeleen replied to the question "do you want some water in your whiskey". His reply was "when I drink whiskey, I drink whiskey and when I drink water, I drink water"

So here is how to eat any candy bar. First you start by eating the chocolate off of the outside of the bar. Next you nibble off the next layer. When it comes to peanuts you may take both the peanuts and what ever they are embedded in, into your mouth but you must eat or dissolve the embedded material first then eat the peanuts.
Like M&M Peanuts, yo first crack off the outside material, eat it, then you remove the chocolate inside you mouth and finally you eat the peanuts.

Good Luck

Nana has challenged me to come up with my top ten candy bars of all time. We were talking about it on the way home tonight and this is going to be more difficult than it seems o the surface.

so check back and see what made the list and didn't make the list.

Updated kitchen pics

Nana and I decided to change the kitchen, new counter top, dishwasher, oven, etc.
I had photos of the revamp process on my phone but haven't figured out how to get them off the phone.


The process of dismantling and changing the kitchen started on a Monday and we were done on Thursday evening. My neighbor and his son did most of the work after they had worked a full day at their regular job.
