Easter visitors

I feel a bit remiss in not posting about my Easter weekend, when it involved the other Mad-boy- Greg.  I got tired of sitting in front of the computer, so it got pushed aside for a few days.  Poor Greg!

 It is always entertaining to have one or more of the boys come to visit, and there are always adventures!  There was even a sighting of the elusive Michael!  He knows when the good grub is being served.  There were a lot of things on the agenda, including lunch at "The Pal Cafe", hanging out with relatives, and of course eating- a lot!
We started off the weekend with 3 inches of snow, which has been previously discussed, and there were some things that needed doing- the tractor needed to be started and retrieved from where it had conked out in some -20 degree weather, the old Toyota woods truck needed a new battery, and some culverts needed to be cleared.
Dragging a battery back to the Toyota, but the tractor was first on the list.
Gonna clear out the culvert


Got the tractor going


The Toyota got itself a new battery and boy it barely rumbled before coming back to life!  Liberation!!

In other news, the rare son Michael makes an on camera appearance.

The old Yamaha motorcycle has made its way south, and will be in restoration mode for a while.  One more thing out of our garage!!  Woot!

So, this is a week late, sorry Greg and Mike.  Hope it doesn't make you Mad-sons!
Until next time (like in a few minutes) don't forget to spread the joy!

Sunday Photos 4/24/2011

Yeah, baby, it is SUNDAY PHOTO TIME!!  I know how excited you all are- well, at least I am excited, it is kind of fun to post a selection of the pictures I took this week.  I went for a LOOOOOONG walk today, took the 7 mile loop for the first time in several years.  Holy moly, that is a long way.  It was so nice today, but I am including the photos of the irritating weather from yesterday.  You don't fully experience joy unless you've been ticked off, and that last snow was a major irritation!


I have to start off with Lola, the poor girl.  Might have some daffs at her feet on Monday if it stays nice and warm!
Lola looking regal and much happier than yesterday









No comment!































Here are a few of the Saturday snow pictures.  Snow didn't keep the Mad Family from going about their business!
Synchronized preening- Sandhill cranes








The rest of the photos are from various times during the week, it was again a good picture taking week!
