Cora Island Hike – 3/14/2021
Following a recent Stream Team clean up at Cora Island, I wanted to go back and visit to hike more of it. I was lucky enough to have Danelle join me! Part of the goal was to hike past where I had not been during the cleanup. We totally achieved that. We ended up hiking … Continue reading “Cora Island Hike – 3/14/2021”

January – 2021
Cats just love boxes. Coatrack doesn’t even wait till they are empty… Maggie came over and dyed her hair with Sonora. Danelle and I walked to the eastern terminus of the Katy Trail I’m still unicycling and finding signs made just for me 🙂 Danelle put out food for the squirrels to eat, but also … Continue reading “January – 2021”
Snow Cats – 1/27/2021
We decided to see how the cats like the snow today. Brawndo hasn’t see it before, but being a Maine Coon, it shouldn’t be an issue. He seemed pretty chill with it. Coatrack likes being outside in anything but rain. The paw prints might be the best part about the whole thing. We didn’t let … Continue reading “Snow Cats – 1/27/2021”
Climbing a Tree – 1/23/2021
We finally got Corvin out to our Alton property to see it for the first time. After walking around, he found some entertainment. That was in the form of climbing a tree! I don’t think I was ever this good at climbing! Hogan
Crazy Hair – 1/2/2021
With COVID-19 pandemic, I decided not to get a hair cut to do my part trying to keep myself from getting sick. The last haircut I had was about 11 months earlier and it showed. So Danelle and Sonora styled my hair before bleaching it. Then they went on to bleach and color their own … Continue reading “Crazy Hair – 1/2/2021”

We got a bit into the Christmas spirit towards the end of the month. Danelle’s bakery did some amazing work! Brawndo tried out to be a reindeer. And cats under Danelle’s desk while she tries to work. Hogan Haake
Painting OurMaster Bedroom – 12/29/2020
We’ve been in our house 15 years and decided it was time to paint the master bedroom. It still had the original tan color the whole house was when we moved in. And if you’re wondering how long that is, here is 15 years of dust… Yeah, its gross, but I didn’t realize how bad … Continue reading “Painting OurMaster Bedroom – 12/29/2020”
Waterfall Root Docking – 11/22/2020
Sonora and I went out to Waterfall to get out of the house. There, she worked on a fire to burn honeysuckle. With her keeping the fire going, I spent my time root docking honeysuckle. This helps our woods get clear and provides wood for the fire. Bringing it up to be burnt! We had … Continue reading “Waterfall Root Docking – 11/22/2020”
