Alkutalvi - The Beginning of Winter


Our barred rock rooster with a silver-laced Wyandotte hen. They tolerate the snow, but don't really like it. Once it gets a few inches deep, they stay inside their coop.


Veikko, the wonderdog.



Tractor tire tracks in soft ground.



The last remaining berries of summer - lowbush cranberries?



Ice forming on the pond.


Ice grapes.


Our lakefront estate.


I had to sacrifice a few spruces that were shading our new greenhouse.


Hunting on a mountain bike is completely legal. You see about as many deer as you do walking, and you cover a lot more ground.


David and Jonathan putting up Christmas lights in a spruce.


It was much easier years ago when the tree was small...


...but it's well worth the effort.


When Christmas morn is dawning....

...actually, the first day of Advent.
