A New Year

ThePaintedTiger | January 4, 2010

Here we go, with a fresh shiny new year!  Wonder what it will bring? So far, wildlife in the back yard.  What is under the trampoline? This is some smart deer.  Why melt a spot in the snow and get snowed on top of when you can bed down under a trampoline? This is the [...]

Wildlife Wednesday….

ThePaintedTiger | September 29, 2009

A discussion in one of my hangouts about bugs reminded me that I hadn’t posted these up to the blog yet!  What is that cub looking at? Why, it is a cicada!  I’m not sure I had ever seen one alive before…..usually just see the skins left everywhere from when they emerge from the ground [...]

Oh Deer….

ThePaintedTiger | September 2, 2009

Hanging out in our backyard the past week or so……. Mamma actually has twins, but the other eluded being photographed.   They’ve been sleeping near the pine tree in the second picture, which means we have a great view of the deer family while we eat our breakfast.  I thought it was awful nice of Mrs. [...]

Back and running….

ThePaintedTiger | July 10, 2009

When it rains, it pours….we arrived back from vacation last weekend, tired but full of the joy of no stress for two weeks.  Here’s a pic of our view, and one of the many, many pan fish we caught. Miss Cub was not done with vacation, however….Monday she went off to our church’s camp for [...]

Picture of the Day!

ThePaintedTiger | November 21, 2008

It’s been a busy week or so around here, and I’ll regale you with pictures and tales of knitting and yarn soon.  For now…..my friend’s little one was looking out the window saying “I see, I see, I see, I see, I see!!!” Yup he saw!  This buck and a doe hung around our backyard [...]

Our latest visitor…

ThePaintedTiger | October 23, 2008

I debated about sharing our latest wildlife encounter, however…the pictures are cool and I’m a science geek, so how can I not! So….if you don’t care for creepy crawly things, please do not read the full article.

Show and tell!

ThePaintedTiger | October 6, 2008

It’s Monday, and time for show and tell! I finally caught a picture of that groundhog/woodchuck: She’s on the neighbor’s lawn here, and seems content over there. I filled in the hole, and so far so good. I finished my Forest Glade socks made with my Tiger Supersock yarn. I should have made the ribbing [...]

The best laid plans of mice and men….

ThePaintedTiger | September 27, 2008

Or should I say woodchucks and squirrels? It’s been a crazy couple of weeks around here, so I’m going to give you a nice pictoral of the action in lieu of a yarn update this week. First, we had this: I built these steps this spring, and have shown them to you before. This day, [...]

Ah, the harbingers of spring…

ThePaintedTiger | March 27, 2008

First of all, yes, indeed Lizzie Beth Lendrum arrived here yesterday, and she is happily adjusting to her new home.  The light is terrible today, so I’ll just keep her to myself for a bit longer!  In most places, Robins are the bird associated with spring.  Not in our current house.  A few weeks ago, [...]
