The Week In Seven Photos

So, this week should only be about celebrating that Harper is one year old, but I discovered my first gray hair this week and while initial thought was it’s because I’m old, I would rather blame surviving a year with a puppy at this age. I tried the Harper excuse for old age on my…

Years ago, if someone had asked me if I wanted to run a winter turkey farm my reaction would have been similar to being asked if I wanted to watch professional wrestling (no, not really my thing).

Life is Good during the NFL Championship football weekend with snow finally on the branches and Harper greeting the backyard tailgaters as they flew in all day enjoying plenty of snacks and, of course, a little football trash-talk.

There was a moment this week with another day of dreary gray skies and the talk of diets, organization and taxes constantly on the news that I thought no wonder January is such a long month. I’ve always believed in maintaining balance, somedays that does require a chocolate chip cookie in each hand (especially if…

After a day indoors watching the record January rainfall and the turkeys trying to hide from the rain, I awoke Sunday thankful the worst of the storm missed us, but hoping for a beautiful winter morning of photography only to discover trees with no icicles or snow.
