a "normal" Saturday again

it's been a long time getting here..
though in reality it's only been 5 months
 since Ron broke his leg,
and has been housebound...
 
but it feels longer
(more for him than for Tyler and I)
 
 
today was the first Saturday
since Oct 22 2012
that we did things like we
"normally" do..
 
 
Ron and I headed into town
to do errands
first thing in the morning..
 
then after lunch
they guys got back to
doing some things
they do together...
 
 
moving wood
 
and pruning trees!
 
Ron felt so great being out there
doing work again!
 
and it was fantastic seeing
him and Tyler
working side-by-side again
 
 
 
always a hunter..
even with a saw haha
(he was making the sound,
and doing the action of cocking a gun)
good thing he doesn't go to public school
he would have been suspended for that little action
(seriously, he probably would have)
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Ron's new saw
just arrived this week
 
 
it is a
Sugowaza Saw
 
 
 
they prunned
60 trees today
 
 
meanwhile around the fields.
 
the snow is going down..
a few weeks ago,
the snow was up around the middle rung
on this tomato cage..
 
the trees in the cattle field
are getting more ground showing
underneath them
 
 
the wheel on the trailer is starting to show
 
the trail in the bush
is crusted over
so you don't go through
the top layer of snow anymore
and my snowshoe tracks
are just barely visable
 
 
 
Charlie is feeling less closed in
 
 
 
 the pathway back to the house
is clear of snow
thanks to Ron plowing it
 
the ducks enjoy the snow-free
areas near their house
 
so does Ginny
(as Oreo watches from above)
 
 
but winter might take one more swat at us..
 
Monday - Thursday this week
snow is forecasted..
 
so our snow will definately be staying longer
than it did last year
 
by the end of March last year,
we had no snow at all
not even in the bush!
 
I'll be taking updated pictures this week
to keep our record keeping up to date
(for snow anyways)
