Crows~

Did you know crows worm ?  Here they are in our yard doing that very thing… After Al has brushed our dog in the field … you should see the crows collecting the hair for their nests etc… They are really intelligent birds. I like them .  Maybe not so much when they pick in the garbage but hey they have to make a living too.

Jessi & Sam’s “Full Marathon” ~ 42.2 K

Jessi & Sam  have been training faithfully for the last 7 months plus for their first full marathon.  They have stuck to their guns to make their dream a reality.  I am especially proud of our daughter Jessi whose perseverance is something to be admired.  I tell ya’ I was tired just watching all those runners ~  Congratulatons Jessi & Sam !  You did it ~ 4 hours 34 minutes ~  This event was so exciting and emotional for participants and spectators alike. A wonderful memory for sure~
