Hello everyone and welcome to my blog page. I hope this will give you all a better glimpse into our lives up here in Mariposa. So far we have had sun, rain, fog, hail, snow, and mixed snow and rain. actually that was all in the first week! We made a snowman (Creeper) and a snowlady (Crepton). We have seen deer, grey squirrels, blue jays, and many other birds on our property! how cool is that right? Heather has been struggling with the cold, but she is a trooper and is starting to acclimatize. We have a test with the census beauro tomorrow, and and with larry from mimis in fresno on friday. We are also petitioning while we are looking for more steady work, so things are looking up for us in the job department. Ok well I've got to go mend the fence around the garden, and turn the compost pile, so I love you all and I'll talk to you soon!
