Random Happenings

Today after church we arrived to find these two furry fellas "playing". I think Angel (our dog) thought she was playing, but the ground hog was definately defending it's ground. We wondered why Angel was digging so many holes around that tree. Now we know why. The bad news is that both Angel and the ground hog saw their shadows. So we're either going to have 12 more weeks of winter, or maybe they offset each other and spring is here!!

Cousin IT showed up at our house the other day. Oh, maybe that's just Hope without her hair pulled back. It definately doesn't slow her down, though. She loves riding around on Brock's very worn John Deere tractor.
Here's one for all the outdoorsmen. Mark has been hunting for a "wall hanger" trophy buck for over 10 years now. About two weeks ago he noticed a deer antler in the yard. A closer look showed it to be the nicest one he had ever been able to call his own. About 5 days later, the match to the pair showed up in another part of the yard. After all the years of sitting in the freezing cold at 5am to get the perfect one, it showed up in our yard. A perfect 13 pointer without any mess to go with it. I think it's a sign from God saying "Here's what you've been looking for, so now just sleep in on those cold fall mornings."
HERE'S YOUR SIGN - You could be a redneck if........you look like this guy!!!
