Elspeth assures us these are alpacas, not llamas, because of their long ears. Photo by my long-run marathon training partner Leslie Kash, taken on Elk Run Church Road (near the Gray Horse Winery) during our 16-mile out-and-back run from Goldvein to Elk Run Church site on February 12th.

Admiring the daffodils
I was surprised the squirrel would be so bold as to stand still there while I got closer with the camera. Since we lost Cadbury they’ve had no worries, as Roxie generally can’t be bothered to chase them. But yesterday, Jammer the new dog arrived, so perhaps they’ll learn to be a bit more cautious.
Frost on the pumpkin
Mid-morning, new year’s eve. Apparently the deer don’t eat dead pumpkin.

Tomato Cage
Elspeth designed this tomato cage for Sandy’s birthday, and I helped her and Tim put it up last weekend, though not quite all the chicken wire is up yet, and it still needs a door at the back. Maybe next year some of the tomatoes will come to us instead of the squirrels.
Growing tomatoes
Have you seen the net we put up to keep the humans out of the tomatoes?
Mouse(?) at midnight
