Evening walks, barn building, and more.....

First, I have to tell you that blogger must have heard my sad story and felt sorry for me because even though we still can only get dial-up here in the country, I am NOW able to almost, instantly upload my pictures to blogger.
So, here are many photos from the past two weeks.

These are from our evening walks that we have been taking together as a family and taking advantage of the slightly cooler weather. This is a country road with many beautiful sites.



That is Thomas up ahead of me.


Beautiful, old stone wall.

Love the arch of the trees.


BZZZZZZZZZZZ! This is a tree that sits directly by the road and if you are not careful you could walk right into a bee cloud. Every night when we pass by, you can hear the entire tree buzzing!



Oh dear - deer!




This is along the creek.










And this was tonight on the way back home.





Now for some Barn Building....
We have been wanting to add a barn since we built the house and moved in. Now the time is finally here. Here is the site before barn.








Then this morning, the barn crew arrived EARLY (and we did not expect them today) and got started.
Day 1.
















Tonight, playing around outside before dinner.
You know this is my sweet dog, Zaida. I don't have to tell you that I LOVE this dog! (My husband and oldest son are sooooo tired of hearing this!)








I love the big birds that fly over.



This is Thomas trying to jump up to touch the net. I love that he has his tongue hanging out!




We also found a baby bat on the front porch last week. It was dead! But very cute! Did not take a picture.
Then tonight Thomas noticed that the cat and dog had something cornered in the garage. I went to scoop what ever it was out as I am used to this by now. Since we have moved in a little over a year and a half ago, I have scooped out numerous frogs (big and small), multiple lizards, a blue jay, a hummingbird, many little mice, and now as of tonight.... a little raccoon! He was scared, but so cute. We got the big garage door up and scooted him right out and he scoured back up into the woods. I did not get a good picture of him. Maybe next time!

Serenity and peace. I loved looking at these photos. I so miss seeing deer here. But with all the construction, I doubt we'll see them anymore.
I'm envious!
