I think this is the best photo I've ever taken, and if it's not the best it's definitely my favorite. It really shows his ruggedness and his sweetness. He's a big battle scarred brute, yet he is such a gentle sweetheart❤️

My best buddy Big Boy made an appearance with a couple of friends☺️

A christmas apple for my buddy Tank❤️

At Christmas time, all I want is one thing and that's to see my big beautiful buddy, and every year on Christmas Eve, like clockwork, he shows up. Its like he knows. My heart is full❤️❤️❤️

A lil Christmas poem from my critter friends and I☺️

Lisa's bossy sister being her sassy self

Getting this close to a rutting whitetail buck is not a great idea. I've had a very close relationship for years with these animals, and even though Ive only seen this fella once before, we trusted each other. He made my day❤️

Mmm hmm

Purty

Northern lights up near Pink Mountain BC last night

So uncanny to see such a large lake look like glass. Such perfect conditions that night.. low humidity, not even the slightest breeze, and the clearest sky

Milky way in the Rockies last night

Samantha is always a sweetie

My favorite doe Lisa had twins this year. She is the first deer I made friends with, and is just the sweetest girl.❤️

Kinda happy with this one too

Probably the best photo of the Milky Way I've ever taken... that green airglow last night was amazing

Little Maggie has another baby this year

Victoria is a silly girl

Yeah that was purty.

I didn't take a whole pile of photos last night but yeah I forgot about this horizontal one too

Milky Way was also purty last night

Best of the show occurred when it was still light out, later was nothing spectacular but pretty nonetheless.

Nice little haul of morels yesterday.

Third try on the cinnamon raisin sourdough and I finally got the swirly results I was looking for😊

Ɓaby was a silly lil girl today

Mallards are just the sweetest Critters

Havent seen her for a couple months❤️

First four of 12 today

Banana bread cinnamon rolls...best rolls ive ever made. Recipe is locked in my brain forever😊

I think my babies missed me

Was a good day to bake salted caramel bourbon apple cheesecake😊

Good morning Happy New Year from Sweet Pea and I

That's it for the year, no more baking until January.. Christmas baking is done. Who am I kidding, I'll probably be baking sourdough tomorrow.

Her cute little face😊

My Xmas gift...seeing my buddy I havent seen for weeks. Thats all I wanted❤️ He's such a sweetheart🥰

Aaaaand....my big handsome buddy just showed up this afternoon...literally sneaked up behind me and sniffed the back of my head while I was talking my does🥰 Just look at him❤️❤️❤️

A new soon-to-be buddy showed up today😊

Then there's Lisa's adorable little face🥰

Out and about with the whitetail fam🥰

Her cute little face🥰

Had a few asking for this recipe, so despite the fact I rarely ever share them, you all can have this one.😊

It was pistachio and craisin day, so that called for pistachio craisin biscotti, and pistachio craisin eggnog cookies😊

Next round...Kourabiedes...aka Greek shortbread.

Well it's definitely cookie baking season so let's start the morning with a batch of citrus crinkle cookies. A little citrusy, chewy in the middle, nice little thin crispy outside.

Purty

Yep... keeping this one for me was the smart move.. best one I've made so far, so crusty and so chewy and that crumb turned out so nice😊

I think this is another sourdough I'm going to have to keep for myself because it's too damn pretty. Off to a good start today😊
