a winter's day

 Meri "picked" this icicle from the house the other day =) 

 Lately, this cat, (Max) has been our firewood-distraction, as in, if he's outside while we're trying to do firewood, we end up getting distracted by all his daring shenanigans! 

He likes to go out on a limb....a tiny limb!  He just kept climbing out farther!

=)

Max's adventures

The cat Max, on one of his risky/ daring adventures!  This cat is so entertaining & curious about EVERYTHING!  We were all watching from our dining room window as he "performed" this outside on our porch! 

James is 6!!

And here is at his party up north, he always has something to tell us =)
