Moose sighting, up close...
This past Saturday night while still in Redlands, California I got a call from my wife saying she saw her first moose.
Well, actually she called to say she hit a moose. But, of course, that does mean she saw it :-)
(Just before the Washington line in Goshen, New Hampshire.)
She and the family were fine, and the moose walked away (but with a pretty bad leg). We have yet to find out the total extent of the damage to her minivan...but it's not too bad...

Purple finch
I've got to figure out a way to take pictures of our birds without glass in between. This is a purple finch (I believe)...the state bird of New Hampshire.

Nagdabbit!
Not to long ago I saw the most beautiful red cardinal...but it flew away before I could grab my camera. It was an amazing bright color in a canvas of reserved browns and greens...

Moose sighting!
Heading home tonight with Jennifer (after visiting relatives in Newport), she and I had the honor of seeing a large moose. It wasn't far from the two I saw last year with April...on Route 31 north of the center of Washington, New Hampsire (although still in Washington, I believe).
It didn't seem at all phased by us...I stopped both for safety and to gawk. Initially I told Jenn I wished I brought my camera...but it was night, and, although it was lumbering, it disappeared too quickly into the forest for that to matter...

I need Weight Watchers
I believe this is the same squirrel as pictured in the previous post. I just figured I'd give more proof that no squirrel on Fahrner land goes hungry. :-)
Not that I couldn't use Weight Watchers too :-)

Quite the pose...
My daughter, April, pointed this squirrel out to me. If you click on the image, you'll see why this really is, "Quite the pose..."
We had snow again last night, but it's now rain. That made it good for packing this morning, and Mikey and I had a small snowball fight this morning :-)
