Tour of the island

The remains of a still.

Baby pig hiding.

Help! My mom left me!



You are a stranger!




June made a flag for the island.


Are these outhouses for us??






Socks our yard pig.





Frank working on John.

















November 09



The sunset

Small, medium, or large?

It's always 5 o'clock somewhere!





Gordon on the phone-again???







I know I can make this work. I found it in a dumpster-there can't be anything wrong with it.






Sometimes it takes every available engine to get the job done!!

Back to Nature Week


June brought heavy whipping cream and we "shook" it in a gallon jar. We were expecting some butter but NOT two pounds. We couldn't believe how much it made. It was delicious on the whole wheat biscuits Frank made!

The first lemon/lime from our fruit trees on Creighton.







June brought wheat from the Farmer's Market. Frank ground the wheat (just like the little red hen) and made biscuits. They were dense but very tasty. Very impressive for the first time.

Creighton Fly Over











Last Voyage of the Blue Moon











Creighton on a frosty morning

The dock was covered with frost when we came over and it was slick. Here the sun has melted some of the frost.
Sunset from the front yard.





Another sunset. Cleaned up some on my computer and I have 200 pictures of the sunset/sunrise. Time to quit taking pictures and just enjoy.




The cows go out into the mash and eat. People frequently comment on it because it is unusual to see cows in the marsh.. I just fret about them getting stuck in the mud.









Victor made toilet paper holders from some of the cedar left over from the outhouses. They are shaped as a pig's head and look great in the outhouse!






The marsh at sunset.














Frost on the dock with the imprints from our shoes.






Frost on the grass in the field. It is so rare here many call it snow.















The sun has melted patches so it is easy to see the contrast.





This is about the time that Annie needed to have the growth on her side removed. She was very suspicious and uncooperative about being "contained" for the examination.
