Pruning and Golfing

Our neighbor to the north of us, the one with the canoe rental business, came over with his tractor and chainsaw today and pruned our apple trees. He offered and we accepted. He thinks we should get much more fruit and I am going to try to eat them for this year rather then just feeding them to the deer and horses! Monet was into the entertainment and thought his tractor was VERY interesting.



Monet hasn't yet realized that she can put her winter hats away and simply wear her summer sun hats. She is constantly changing her hats and this one had me laughing out loud. She was determined to golf with it on.

Bald Eagle Sighting




While we were grilling some chicken for supper we noticed a beautiful bald eagle sitting in a tree directly in front of our house, down by the river. We gathered our binoculars and camera and sat there for atleast 15 minutes watching him and he watching us. Every time Monet yelled "Hi Bald Eagle" he would turn his head and look directly at us. :) I walked halfway through the field before he flew off and his wing span is just enormous.
