I'm Back

You know, I really am an "in spurts" person - I can never be accused of being steady and dependable - exhibit A/Blogging, exhibit B/Housework, exhibit C/Exercise (wait, my running pace is slow and steady, but not necessarily my FREQUENCY :). Anyway, here are some more photos of our house progress... Can you tell Haley likes posing? Here she is at the front door (technically side door) and also showing us the new windowsill and the nice interior paint job - and she and Matt are checking out some raccoon tracks outside. And we saw this beautiful bird crossing the road to the pond - thoughts of habitat wreckage and non-ecological consciousness came to my mind as I watched him picking his way cautiously across the asphalt. I am in the process of researching what kind of egret or heron he was - we have seen a lot of beautiful egrets and herons and a bald eagle and a mallard and his friend - I love the nature trails...but he is the first black and white big bird I have seen - he has black tips on his wings too. I will let you know...
