walk after snow storm

I took the dogs for walk at the High School this afternoon.

Fields

Our afternoon walk brought us to the trails behind the high school. We took a side trip off the trail to explore the fields. The trails have a tremendous amount of ticks and we try not to walk them until we have a good freeze.

Good smell on Richmond Beach

Our early morning walk brought us to Richmond Beach. We try to walk down to the water on the weekends and look for wildlife. We have seen deer, eagles, beaver, and several different ducks.

Old Man Cave Bridge

Thank goodness Wally tied off this bridge. The bridge has been working as a dam during high water.

After washing the dogs we use a heat less airdryer to help dry them off.

Terry's new toy

Terry sold one of his corvettes and bought this customized GTO. No roof, no windshield wipers maybe not to practical for Maine.

Patently waiting for trick-or-treaters

Max, Molly and Nora spent an hour and a half watching trick-or-treaters. They were a hit with the kids and parents. I sat outside to hand out candy and some of the kids walked right by me without getting their candy to look at the dogs.

Eagle Lake new water wells

This picture is of two wells we installed in Eagle Lake this summer. The wells were drilled under a separate contract, we installed the buried pipe to the wells, installed the pumps and top 12' section of the well.

Cascade Brook Pump Station Saco

This is a picture of a pump station we are building in Saco across the street from Aquaboggan. To look at the sand you would think this job was at the beach. The 330 excavator in the picture is our largest excavator.

Ogunquit 10/21/08

I went to a prebid in Ogunquit this morning. The sewer pump station I looked at is between two hotels on the beach. The is the view from the back lawn of the pump station.

The digging begins

Finally I am replacing the sills on the garage. If you are out of shape and need some exercise, try sill replacement.

I love this picture Lynn took of Nora.

Pickles

Lynn has been busy canning and freezing local grown foods. She has made lots of pickles, strawberry and raspberry jam, pickled beets, frozen corn, frozen beets, and even canned beet greens.

Bat

We had a visitor in the house Tuesday and Wednesday night. Lynn wasn't impressed. Tuesday I woke from Lynn screaming after she saw a bat flying in the bathroom. I was able to get the bat down into the living room and close the doors but then I proceeded to loose her. I spent an hour tearing the living room apart but I could not find the little girl. KT found her in the door jamb of the front door the next morning. She shut the inside door, opened the outside door and the bat eventually left. The next night while we were watching tv she was back. This time I was able to open the doors and get her outside, but I was never certain she left the porch. I smartened up and search the house for a opening the bat was using to get in and found a one of Ben's storm window screens out of it's track.
