We decided to play with clay today. I grabbed a piece of clay without any idea what I was going to make. I’m not sure why, but I ended up with this hillbilly looking guy.

I was given the privilege of being the family photographer at Johnson Ferry’s Christmas Packages this year. The event was full of music, treats, and games to bring in the Christmas season. It was a very busy night at the church. But I was able to make a self portrait during the event, complete with an elf hat.

In order to speed up my side yard cleanup project, I rented a Bobcat. All was going well until I took a little break and came back to find the front tire was flat. I got the opportunity to learn how to change the tire on a Bobcat and was able to get back to work after a short delay.

I started cleaning out our side yard today so we could expand our fence. The first part was to cut down a few pine trees that were in the way. The only complete chainsaw I have is a Poulan. It should be call a workout machine instead of a chainsaw, I pulled on that thing for about 15 minutes and it never would start.

You can tell it’s Christmas time, even Mr. Bear is in the Christmas spirit.
