Bog Meadow Nature Trail

 We had to go up to Saratoga last weekend to get some brick for our patio....we are finally getting our path to the shed redone & while they are here they will fix some places on the patio where it's sinking.
 We remembered this trail which we haven't walked for years.  They had been paving the road & this truck was stuck in the parking lot.  They couldn't get the bed to go down so it wouldn't fit under the wires.


 I remembered it being a little muddy underfoot but it's been so dry the last few weeks it was fine.

 See all the canadian geese out there

 This is where it starts to live up to it's name.


At this point it seems like you are going into a tunnel
 This is where it actually crosses the bog

 A place to rest & enjoy the sunshine






Love

    That truck looks dangerlously close to those wires.
    When we were little my brother and sister made me go into a bog near our house, allthetime, and see how long it would take for me to get my wellies stuck. THen they would run home and say, mummy, dawn lost her wellies in the bog again!

      We had a pond behind our house with a dead tree that went part way across it. My brother would dare me to walk on it & I always lost my wellies!! Plus I almost drowned one time......he got in big time trouble for that one!

Designer "doggy uggs"

Poor Molly has been having a hard time already this winter with the snow. She has good size pads on her feet which are "webbed" like a lab's foot.  When she goes in the snow it builds up in between her pads & forms a hard piece of almost ice-like snow.  Then she holds her foot up for someone to pull it out.  I decided to make her her own boots. Jessica had spent the night here as we went to First night for new years....more on that later.....so we "googled" how to make dog boots & then modified it to work for Molly.  Keep in mind these were boots you could make in 10 minutes.  It took approx 10 mins to measure Molly's feet.  Two hours later here's the results I did decide to make her 2 for each foot figuring she would be like any typical kid & lose a couple here & there. We had to go to W*lmart in the middle of the project to get velcro to make the fasteners.  We then made her wear them around the house for a while ...

Sewing, weaving & emptying the waterbed

 Monday morning began bright & early as we needed to finish emptying our bedroom.  Mark was dropping LiLi off before 8:00am as she does not have school this week.  We needed to drain the waterbed before we could take it apart.  As usual we were having no luck getting the water to siphon out & even resorted to having LiLi (all 35lbs of her) sitting on it with us!!  It probably took over an hour & who knows how many tries before it worked.  Got the mattress out & discovered the decking was falling apart.....good thing we decided to do this project,,,,I was able to find a local place so we can just replace it & to be safe I also got a new safety liner & heater.  I don't want to be doing this again for a while!  While Popster worked on replacing the baseboard & window trim in those two rooms LiLi & I started working on this doll kit she had gotten for her birthday.  All the pieces needed to be sewn togeth...

C of O ....Sun Room...Day Twenty Three-Twenty Five

This came in the mail today which made me realize I never posted the last couple days updates.  They really all rolled into one as Jim ended up leaving at noon on Weds...it started to snow & didn't work at all on Thurs.  Friday he finished things up by lunch time but had to spend the afternoon emptying my garage of all his tools.  We had our inspection on Monday which wasn't a problem.  It has been so sunny this week so far so it is so nice to sit in there & enjoy the view!  Yes Molly hangs out in her a lot.....I have nose prints to prove she looks out of all the windows!
