Those photos remind me of our winter in Olde England last year although we’ve just had a day of torrential rain.Labradors really are social dogs although l am a bit biased having had them for 60 years Merry Christmas to everyone who visits this site and thank you for all your efforts in bringing New England to us all
I find it quite distressing to lose big old trees to storms . A large fig that I parked the tractor under if it was a hot day of grass cutting or mulch moving , came down a month ago . Took me several days with a Stihl MS660 to cut it up and burn. I removed all tree risks around the house many years back . Had a cousin who was killed when a pine sliced through a single storey building in the eighties.
A few years ago an old oak that held a swing for generations of children cracked and fell during an easterly storm. Very sad. It was so big around at the base that when it came time to rent a big chainsaw to remove it in spring I counted 170 rings. The tree had been growing since before the War of Southern Rebellion. I've made several benches from slabs of it so family members can remember the summer pleasures of swinging from the tree's branches.
OMG - where did that dog collar with the Wagoneer and the Christmas tree come from ?? Merry Christmas to all on this stormy day !
ReplyDeleteUp Country sells all kinds of really fun dog collars which are ribbon and washable in a variety of prints, stripes etc and seasonal. Happy Holidays.
