I don't have a yard to start with, so any kind of yard looks fantastic :) and that greenhouse/porche, seriously awesome photo material. I hope you are able to sit there in many seasons and grow some seedlings ( I know I would with that kind of yard:))Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3136150101440535605.post-62371579010955402052014-02-18T17:27:29.984-04:002014-02-18T17:27:29.984-04:00gpw..

Not sure if that is ever possible here....The Dutch are good in ice skating but we haven't seen any ice or snow this winter, they even predict that we save 30% on our gas bill this year.

Nothing as big as yours but just something to give myself a month head start (and save kitchen counter space). I wanted something big and awesome but I got knocked down a few notches.

I didn't know they had ice fishing tents, but sounds like a great idea. I haven't been fishing since I was pregnant with my youngest and she will be 35 this summer. I have never been ice fishing. Something to try one day! I love all your pictures of your home. You have done so much work on it! But it is amazing how much can accumulate during the winter! Come spring there is always so much to do. Hope you don't find your BBQ lid up high in a tree. But don't trip over it on the ground under the snow. Have a good week you two.<br />Tanatana50https://www.blogger.com/profile/04610911774620693819noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3136150101440535605.post-33901191665150990372014-02-16T19:47:21.099-04:002014-02-16T19:47:21.099-04:00Hey, I think I saw a devil face in the green house...Hey, I think I saw a devil face in the green house art!

Hey there my friend, you did good wit...Jambaloney,<br /><br />Hey there my friend, you did good with smelt fishing. Kymber will be very happy with those 4 fish you caught. Speaking of fishing, we've been out fishing the last two mornings and caught some really nice looking trout. Were thinking about going again in the morning. :-)<br /><br />Everything at your place looks just fine. It's winter, now when spring comes around that's when you get busy doing things on the property. <br /><br />I so love the greenhouse you made for Sweet Kymber. This ice forming on the windows made for some great looking art work :-)<br /><br />I'm happy to hear you enjoyed yourself smelt fishing, stay warm you two!!!<br />Spring will be here before you know it.<br /><br />Sending love to you both.<br />Your Friend,<br />SandySandy Livesayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06183449816586125720noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3136150101440535605.post-52803904548226901772014-02-16T18:29:22.801-04:002014-02-16T18:29:22.801-04:00It's amazing how stuff get's blown around ...It's amazing how stuff get's blown around and then just kinda stays there as long as the snow stays isn't it?
