Kitty!

Juno! This is a lovable, fuzzy, kitten. Our relatives are very happy. They got her when she was 8 1/2 weeks old. Her name is Juno. She is either a love-ball or a fur-ball. We cant tell the difference. This picture was taken by C.A.R.

April snow showers bring May frozen flowers


Spring is here... or so they say.

It snowed the other day and into the evening, a nice light snow onto the flowers & poor besieged honeybees.

It is exciting to ride the motorcycle home while it's snowing... very pretty.... very pretty dangerous!

HattenBus, in skivies

We cleaned up, scrubbed, and grinded(?) the rust & grime off the HattenBus last Saturday. Antonio & Grandpa & Grandma made a surprise visit - and there was much rejoicing!

Here is the beginning of the rust-grinding fun:


"He just wants a Hog-eyed girl!"


K-Girl fills out the Sodoko puzzle while Mom peels off the paper used to mask off for painting...
The priming went pretty well; about 8 hours to tape off the bus (it started raining partway though!) and another 5 to paint. Eight cans of Rustoleoum Primer later... The Gray Lady is born! We did not clean or primer the roof, and good thing we didn't try because we were going until 10pm when we finally ferried it over to the inspection station...
