Snowshoeing

It was a beautiful day for snowshoeing around 856 Dilley Ranch Road.

Christmas Eve 2011

Santa's Helpers

Our plans for Christmas include a trip to Golden to be with our family, Zac and Jennie, Jeremy, Stephanie, Noah, and Ryder. We will gather at Zac & Jennie's in the afternoon on Christmas Eve. We'll exchange gifts and have dinner. On Christmas Day we will celebrate with the Browns (Jennie's family) in Sedalia. We look forward to spending time with these little helpers. MERRY CHRISTMAS!

Before and After

Clearing out some of the trees has made a difference in our view down the valley.

Burning

Since it snowed about 3 inches, we decided that the conditions for burning were good, so we tended the fire for about four hours before the wind started to gust. We had our first winter "picnic" while we watched the pile burn. Dan put some water from the well into the water tank so that we would have plenty to put out the fire completely.
