Now that the Virginia vacation saga is finally over, it’s time to clear out the photo files.

If you remember… before we left for the Cape Cod vacation in November, the husband was desperately trying to finish the remodel on our baby barn from Hell before the snow started flying.

 

 

He started putting the siding on….

 

 

Which was a nightmare of non squared corners and uneven ground.

 

 

Yeah, there was a lot of that.

His answer? Plant a shrub in front of it.

 

 

He was still using his 1950’s power tools and probably wishing for a larger wheelbarrow.

 

 

Siding around the window resulted in some very colorful language.

 

 

As did turning the 3rd corner where things didn’t exactly line up.

Unfortunately that’s as far as he got before the weather turned….

And now I have to stare at this split personality horror show until spring.

 

 

In other news, our neighbor and her daughter fed our deer while we were gone.

 

 

She sent me this picture while we were in Williamsburg, and wanted me to know the child took her responsibility seriously.

And for that she was rewarded.

 

 

Flowers for mom and a thank you deer for her daughter.

 

 

That little guy cost me a fortune but he was hand made and too damned cute to resist. Look at those feet!

 

 

It snowed right after we got back.

 

 

But the white stuff sure does make a nice contrast for the sunrise.

 

 

We were happy to see our resident buck was still around.

 

 

He’s an impressive fellow….

 

 

And clearly his women agree.

 

 

He’s got quite a little harem going.

 

 

With 4 fawns that we know of.

Funny thing is….. as much as I love to travel, it’s sights like these that always make me glad to be home again.
