Little Red Foxes

H went for a walk toward the back of Mom's pasture, he saw a large hole, thinking it was a groundhog hole, but three red foxes came out and started playing in the field. He didn't have the camera with him, but he called me and with the binoculars I could see them very well. One got adventurous and walked over very near H. I wish I had pics.

Ohio Hillbilly

We were moving a few things from Mom's house today, H sat on the chair while I drove the truck on the road. The chair he is sitting in, is the one we made for Mom for Mother's Day a few years ago. It is constructed from Cherry from the farm, that Dad cut and had cut into boards and dried. We will put it in our house for now.

Weekend Activites

It has been a while since I have written. We had a busy weekend, we took Moose (the 5th wheel) to Toledo area on Thursday AM, April 30, in the rain, stayed at a KOA near Stony Ridge. Thursday evening we went to Bowling Green State University to see a concert of student from 2 catholic schools, Samantha (grand-daughter) plays clarinet. They were very good. Friday afternoon we went to the school the kids go to, for grandparents day. We had a chance to sit in with Doug, Matt and Samantha. Saturday afternoon, we went to soccer games, Sam's game was a tournament, they lost, Doug's was a regular game, also lost. Winning isn't everything, kids need to learn how to lose gracefully. Sunday was Matt's First Communion, so after that we went back to Todd and Jen's for a party. Busy weekend, but always nice to know we can go back to Moose to sleep. We left early Monday Am to return home to all the things that need to be done. Sorry no pics, I forgot my camera.

We were surprised when we got home, our brother-in-law had mowed our yard for us. But we did go to Ashland in the afternoon for H to mow our daughter's yard and help Griffin (he is 10) start mowing. Good to start them young, as long as they know all the safety issues.

Today is dreary and cool, supposed to rain the next several days, but be sunny for the weekend.

Retired Cat!!

Today was a beautiful day, warm and sunny. It was down to freezing last night but will not quite as cold tonight. Hobbes is loving the sunny days, he doesn't want to sit on the screened porch, only wants to stay in his carry case like he did in Arizona. He could sit out there for hours. Sometimes he jumps in the case and sits there looking at us until we feel guilty and take him out. Oh, the life of a cat. Eats, sleeps(between us), and sits in the sun. Sounds like he is retired.

April in Ohio

We have had cold weather, highs in the 30's and lows in 20's, for the last 2 days. And, as you can see from the picture, snow. We had over 2 inches at our house. After spending the winter in Yuma, AZ, this cold makes it hard to go outside. Tomorrow it is supposed to warm up. Yeah!!!

Home

We made it home safely, not fond of the cool weather, but good to be home. 5 days on the road is too much. We set up the fifth wheel and put Hobbes in, then went to Mom's house, my sister and her husband were there. When we came back home, I opened the door to the fifth wheel and Hobbes jumped out. He didn't jump all winter, waits until we get home, then does it. I guess he just wanted to see how home looked. I caught him right away, just got some mud on his paws.
Tomorrow the work begins, get the house up and running, then start at Mom's.

Almost Home

We are spending the night in Carrollton, KY Walmart parking lot. No campgrounds around this area that were open. Surprisingly warm today, but will be cool tonight. Hobbes will be so glad to get home. He hates it every morning when we put him in the truck, meows for several miles, then settles down because he knows he can't do anything about it.
