Just look at that tough guy. A decent sized tree blew down during a storm last week. Jeff brought home his chaps, so I got to play lumberjack this afternoon. Melissa's brother, Matt, has a great t-shirt that says: "Milwaukee Tools, because nobody got a blister building a website." It was awesome to get my wussy hands outside and work on some blisters.

Jeff and Dad enjoying the day.

Here's a shot of some of the turkey vultures that roost behind the house. There are literally a couple hundred of these guys. With an eight foot wingspan, they are imposing and ugly as sin.

Saw a baby garter snake by the driveway... so of course I had to pick it up. Jeff took the shot in some pretty low light - not bad!
