I&rsquo;m always trying to encourage her to go for walks with me on the weekend. It was easy to do in the summer and fall but now that it&rsquo;s getting colder she&rsquo;s less interested. Any time she suggests it I do my best to jump at the chance to spend time outside with her. So here we are...

This is what I saw when I walked around the side of my office building on my way to met Rob. We've been seeing lots of sundogs the last little while but to see the full circle is rare.

We don't have any big plans so far, so it really is a mystery right now.<br /><br />Abby and I went for our last walk of 2010 yesterday afternoon and I thoug...

It seemed too big for a muskrat but I was seeing it through a stand of willows and never got a clear look at its tail before it went into the water. Since then, however, we've seen plenty of evidence that there is a beaver in the lake.</p><br/><p style="text-align: center;"><img src="http://www.inapeanutshell.com/images/beaver_1.jpg" alt="" /></p><br/><p>The wire in that picture is an attemp...
