Harvesting Grapes

We had heard a lot about Holy-Field Winery but had never been there even though it is located in South Leavenworth County, only 15 minutes from our house. Dee, our neighbor, has been there many times and has picked grapes for several years. This is such a popular activity that we had to sign up […]

Lazy Dogs

The dogs were lazy today all sleeping on the couch. Pebbles decided to get up when the camera came out.

Update About the Squirrel

The other day I posted about the squirrel being in the Martin Bird House. This is an update on what we discovered. As we were in the backyard trying to decide where to put things back, we saw a squirrel’s face looking out of the Martin House. Steve stood outside talking to the squirrel. As […]
