Please be patient ~ this blog is new to us here at RSA. The set up has been labor-intensive. In doing so I got to speak to a nice representative from Yahoo named Matt (35 minutes), and Tony (58 minutes). (Nothing is easy it seems…)
I’m still fiddling around with trying to get pictures from the Nikon D80 to the computer screen. (Actually, I’m still trying to figure out how to work the D80…)
Not much time today to fiddle about. Lots of stuff to do. However, it is nice to be sitting in my comfy Wee House, in the comfort of my new (to us) toasty wood stove with the glass door. Thanks AC (Animal Control) Ellen, for your gift of warmth!
Rustic Russ is busy working on his new building, complete with windows (including stained-glass windows)! Pretty fancy for a saw mill operation. We are starting to have so many buildings, he is going to be harder and harder to locate! Hmmm…I wonder if that is why be builds so many…
Our trio of horses (Buck, Raz and Nauish) are enjoying themselves outside my Wee House windows. It’s a pleasure to see them so content, playful, and now sun-bathing. We went to the monthly horse auction last night in Gaylord. It was difficult not bidding and coming home with a 4th. However sanity reigned supreme. At least for this month. It’s a nail-biter when horses aren’t even bringing $20 bids. (I heard Rustic Russ mumbling to himself a lot…) Most of the horses left the ring with “NO SALE” shouted, as the gavel slammed down.
I’m a bit thrown off by the time change, along with those surrounding me. Our farm animals are fed on a tight schedule ~ you can set your clock by them and their vocal demands ~ and they know Rustic Russ obliges. Today will be the beginning of sliding the feeding time to accommodate the clock. I wish we could stay the same all year. The Amish do. We could learn a lot by following their lead.
Jim & Jennifer Warren will be stopping by later today on their way to the UP to get a freezer full of various meat we offered his dogs. We have such wonderful sponsors, we can afford to share. I’ve been getting a boat load (o.k., truck load) of moose meat this past week. There’s plenty more to come with the firearm deer season approaching. We are still repaying Jim for many kindnesses he shared with us years ago when Russ was training our dogs from Warren’s Sled Dog Lodge. This is just a small token of our gratitude.
More to follow…stay with us…

Hey there cousin Sherry!
I love your blog! And the pictures! My job makes it hard for me to travel like I used to but your photos and narrative sure make me want to come and visit! One can dream…
Big hugs from Cousin Ronda
P.S. My eldest, Erika, is graduating college (USF) next month. One down, two to go.
