Made it to Madison

Had to park the truck down by the road and hike up.  Snow is up to my knee caps.

Blizzard brings 20" snow to Fairfax

The "Blizzard of 09" dropped 20 inches on us yesterday. I haven't been to our house in Madison but my neighbor Buddy reports 30 to 36 inches up on the mountain. Waiting to hear if the road to our house has been plowed yet.  More pictures soon.

First Deer of the Season

Saturday morning around 7am I tagged this 4 point buck. He weighed in at
100 lbs dressed. Later that evening I shot at a doe about 150 yards
away but missed. I checked the rifle on Sunday and it was sighted in
just fine. So yeah I MISSED! ;)

My Daughter Practicing Violin

My daughter decided she wants to play violin.  Here she is practicing her 20 minutes a day.  The school offered to teach her for free and we accepted.  She already has a good foundation from piano lessons and easily reads music.  Now she must learn the notes on the violin.

Wine Tasting in VA

Today we went wine tasting around central Virginia with long time friends.  We started at Keswick Vineyard, stopped at Jefferson Vineyard and finished at Albermarle CiderWorks.  Then we were off to dinner at Hollymeade.

Two box turtles hoping I would leave

I saw these two colorful box turtles today near the lake.  They obviously did not want to be disturbed.
