Skinning the Elephant

Not that these are real elephants. But five lumpy, grey packages were rolled out of the barn doors today and we jumped to the job of pulling the thick skins back. This revealed huge rolls of bird netting and this means only one thing at our house. Guys, blueberry season is two weeks away!!

 

 

Tomorrow is the big day that they go up, which means no buttons, watches, rings, snaps, or fingernails because they will all get yanked off. Well, not the fingernails, but it will feel like it. =p Its a good idea to take out earrings, too. They won't last long, as I discovered today when one got pulled out. You live and learn, right? 

 

Have a lovely weekend and look forward to the berries to come!



Snowbird

 

 The end of senior year was quite busy and so was the summer with work, blueberries, and getting ready for school. And when I finally got to school I was just a little overwhelmed with it all. I've been loving college and I adore the friends I've made. I have been blessed. School work is hard, but more or less rewarding. Here is a little taste of my world down south.

First my itty bitty room.
 The closet.

 The desk.

 The bed. Yes, that's carpet on the walls. Don't ask.

 Fall break was quite welcome, but I was happy to get back to my mountain.

 This kid grew a ton while I was gone! Actually, I did too, so I'm still taller than him. 5'8!

 A gorgeous West Virginia sky.

 Trees on the way back to school after break.

 Lady Scots! I'm number 19 on the right. We were 7-1-2.

 We had a gingerbread day with my hall. Some of my artsy hallmates made the Grinch. I was quite impressed.

 Check out our adorable wreath. =)

 Christmas on Caledon.

 The rebel child in my cut bangs a few weeks into the first semester. They're looking a little shaggy here, but at least you know what they look like.

 My hall's poster.

Making rice. My friends are cool. =p What would you do on a cold snow day?

 Fall colors.

 Some of the lovelies from my hall. =)

Be back in May!
