Screech Owl

Our nearest neighbor is a screech owl. Terry put up this owl house at the edge of our woods. The hole is only 2 inches so you can see he's just a little guy.

Working in the Yard

We've been spending alot of time this spring cleaning up the yard. Terry mows about 6 acres now. Marilyn takes care of the trees, bushes and flowers. Neighbors tell us it looks like a park.

It was sure a big job getting rid of the vines and underbrush, but now we can enjoy walking in the woods.

This is the "before" shot.
