Maya and Max series follows these twins during their 5th grade year of school. The books are enjoyed by 8-12 year olds and have discussion questions for family discussion. I, also, recommend the series for Sunday School, homeschool and private school classes.

Winter has its designs on the cabin. It will keep the place covered until spring now. Time to migrate south and leave our woodland abode until next summer. The deer and other critters will have it to themselves again.

The grandsons learn hunting deer is really waiting for deer. Enjoyed having the grandkids at the cabin for a cold weekend.

Back at the cabin for a couple weeks. November cool has turned into November cold. Soon the snow and another beautiful season will come.

It is hard for kids to resist the fun dry leaves can be.

It has been awhile since my daughter and I have been around horses together. Had an enjoyable time at the farm as the grands are now able to ride their Grandpa Pugsley’s horse. Of course, their mom and I had to check him out first. (You might notice the stirrups are kid length.)

Living in the city doesn’t mean we don’t have critters around. We have seen fox, coyotes, raccoons, woodchuck, deer, snakes, rabbits and numerous squirrels in our yard. We feed birds, also, which provide color as well as entertainment and lessons for the grandkids.

The curious critter in this picture came to the door and stood for several minutes.

Been having some difficulty posting on my website. So with some help, I anticipate getting it going strong again soon.
