The End of 2007

New Years Eve found us at the Sutherland Nature Sanctuary again. It was a most enjoyable way to end the year. A fresh batch of snow fall was on the ground so we saw lots of animal tracks and signs of life among the beautiful scenery of the snow dusted trees.








Our dear friend Vicki (on the left) was visiting us this past weekend and it was a joy to have her along for the walk through the woods.

One of my most favorite paths!

A photographers haven!


It's the flying Dutchman!
Actually it's just Daniel B. flying across the stream.




Timothy B. doing the same as his brother.

After our walk was done we headed over to our friend, Mr. Reiche's house to try out his new snow slide. We had visited a couple weeks ago and were waiting for enough snow to go sledding again. This time he had done some construction and built a platform to help launch us off onto the iced runway. The thrilling drop off of the ledge brought many a scream and gasps and hoots of laughter broke forth as certain persons totally missed the path and blazed their own trails across the yard! A most enjoyable time was had by all, though some left early due to frozen toes and inadequate sledding apparel (blogger speaking =}) and we cannot wait to go sledding again as we just received a huge dumping of snow today (pictures soon to come)!
