Winter Blues BEGONE!

While I was lying around the house for the months of January and February, gazing mournfully out the window at the snow and ice while I recovered from minor foot surgery, I made a promise to myself to get out and box more often, long weekend drives notwithstanding.

So far I've been pretty much true to that promise, having made a couple of nice trips up to the Rhinebeck, New York area, veered over to the Red Hook area and generally wandered around various and sundry historic sites and preserves. I am working my way through a list of boxes planted by 3 blind mice. My how that man can carve! He's just informed me that he and the family will be planting quite a few more in the next couple of months. I'll never get caught up!

Closer to home is Mt. Kisco and the Westmoreland Sanctuary. This is a lovely, quiet little place to hike and find some hidden gems.

Today I was just "up the road" in Rockland County, New York. Many people think you have to take a long road trip to "get out of the city", but that's not the case. Rockland County is chocked full of beautiful places to hike, and tiny little villages and towns along the magnificent Hudson River.

Lots of pre-July and August I just want to stay inside with the air conditioner going full blast boxing to do!

Woo-Hoo!

A Blast From The Past

I'm So Ashamed

Hi, my name is MissMoon and I used a Lock n Lock for food today. It was the little square one. It was so perfect for something I wanted to take to work. I tried to talk myself out of it. I tried so hard. I really did. But the size was just too perfect. I can't look at the other Lock n Lock containers. I feel so dirty, so ashamed.

Not His Natural Habitat

Although this is not the rhino's natural habatit, at least this one doesn't have to worry about becoming extinct. He's pretty sturdy.

Seven Legged Boxing Bug

Poodle Dudes, who hails from Eugene, Oregon, took this too funny picture of some folks stamping into my Johnny Appleseed box at Live & Breathe.

Cracks me up.
