Nice day for a ride

Today we took the back way to Presque Isle to pick my son up from college for winter break.

I decided to go a little bit of  different way home. We were able to see quite a few young amish folk and buggies with their lights on.

I love driving through the county and seeing all the farms and farmhouses.  It is so incredibly peaceful. 

We tried taking a photo of the sunsetting over Mt. Katahdin but it wasn't very successful. 

We even saw a few houses decorated for Christmas.

I am slowly trying to get Christmas gifts done.  I'm also making decorations for my oldest son and his fiancée. 

We had planned to go to their house for Thanksgiving but there is a stay at home order.

We have the entryway partially finished. Dylans bedroom is done and we have a new bathroom door thats not broken.

We need to put the paneling above the doors then put up new ceiling in the entryway. The farmhouse style is coming along.

Adventurous Past 2 Days

Yesterday when I looked outside I saw 2 beautiful cows near our fencing.

I had never seen these girls before but the cows were mpping back and forth with mine. The Pd showed up while I was trying to coax them back home. (I figured they belonged at the end of the street). They asked if I needed help or if these were my cows. I explained where I thought they belonged and told them I would try to get them home as I didn't want animal control to come and take them.

I called my neighbor down the road and he came to try to help me after I jad stood beside Stillwater Ave for 30 minutes making sure the girls didn't go into the road and get hit by a car.

My neighbor got ahold of the cows owners and after 5 hours of keeping the girls safe they went home. The lic of the cows and I was taken by my neighbor.

This morning I looked out and realized Bliss and Aster had broken out again and were down visiting Clarabelle and Babe.

As you can see I tried giving them hay today but they weren't interested in it.  They certainly are beautiful girls just over a year old. (They were born 5/19/19)

It has been so warm here this week. My rhododendron actually has buds on it again. One minute its freezing here in Maine the next it's really warm.

My animals are all still doing great. Our chickens and ducks are still laying eggs.

 I honestly couldn't ask for a better group of animals.

Im working on. Hunter safety still. I will be so thankful to finish it!! It is nice to finish some "bucket list" items for myself this year. 2020 has been absolutely isolating and crazy but I've been determined to do some self enrichment.

I'm off to finish watching a movie. Night! 🌙
