Lunar Eclipse

Here are my first attempts at taking pictures of a lunar eclipse. It turns out that the new bonus room is a perfect observatory, so I set up card table chairs, a tripod and my new (to me) digital SLR and snapped off several hundred images. These are the best of the bunch.

North Side Completed!

Even though it's so cold, the crew finished siding the north side of the house yesterday.

Lake Romp

Kris and I took the dogs for a run around the lake this afternoon. Josie, not wanting to be left behind, made the entire loop, surprising us with her tenacity and stamina (OK. I did have to carry her twice). Not bad for a 13-year-old, three-legged dog.
Speaking of age, Homer just turned 11 the other day! He still thinks he's a puppy and can keep up with Luke (which he does for the most part). By the time we got home you could tell he was exausted. Luke could run for several hours more. Ah, to be a puppy again...

Here's what the house looks like from the lake.
