Becca asks, on her blog, why I'm so long between postings. She doesn't live in boring Sparwood with a boring "old man." Here's an example of the most exciting recent events here.

On a warm winter day in January, more that a dozen deer bedded down in the sun in our yard.
In the picture on the right, notice the red roof below the hill. This home is on a large acreage and is worth over a million.

This photo was taken in the same spot, almost exactly two months later.
Yes, that WAS the house with the red roof! (Across the river, people sat watching in their vehicles, parked side by side as if at a drive-in movie.)

Last week they had a baby shower
for my friend's daughter and she

asked me to make the cake

-my first one for a Sparwoodian.

...so, Becca. Wasn't that exciting?
