The weather is not the only crazy thing around NEPA this year... The animals are too!    This year we have a crazy squirrel that is determined to get into my neighbors house.   He jumps up every morning and hangs on her screen door!    
  
Today we have seen a,  I will call it a city pigeon.   We normally have plain brown pigeons but this one was the ones you see in the cities.   And along with him came a seagull!   Why is there a seagull in the mountains of PA?   They were beautiful anyway.

I think this year I am going to work on winter sowing veggies.  

A vegetable garden is something I haven't done since I was 8 or 9 years old.    My father always had some kind of garden until he just couldn't find the time after working all day.    

I hope the lessons he taught me back then are still in the back of my mind somewhere.    I am sure they are there and I will remember when I need to.  

That is something that gives me comfort in raising my boys.   I find myself saying all the time,  why won't they listen to me?  But I am sure my father thought the same of me when he would tell me stories and try to teach me lessons in life.   I would roll my eyes and sigh.  But I guess I was listening because those words of wisdom he gave,  I hear when I need to.
