Stan & Joyce Orchard

Trying to figure it out since 1975.

Freaky Weather

Freaky Weather

A Leap Year Day hailstorm like we've never seen in 35 years here in Hobart. An inch of hail on the ground, lots of lightning and thunder. Wild.

So Clever

So Clever

I love clever stuff, especially marketing. This is great. For sale on Amazon.

On The Beach

On The Beach

Great day for a walk along Ruston Way and lunch at Katie Downs. Pizza and other eats still very good.

New Neighbors

New Neighbors

Or maybe new ‘naaaay-bors’ is more appropriate. These two were shy when we stopped to say hi, but they’re still cute. Capricious, you might say.

Spectacular Sunrise

Spectacular Sunrise

Snapped this on the way to physical therapy this morning. Just does not do it justice. The sky was alive.

A Walk In The Woods

A Walk In The Woods

Our dreary winter weather paused for a bit this afternoon. Walking in the watershed is good for heart and soul.

Firewood Therapy

Firewood Therapy

Heating with a wood stove is a big commitment and it helps with exercise. Having a grandson to talk with while you work is an added bonus.

Preparing For the Cold

Preparing For the Cold

Looks like we’re in for some serious cold weather. Cold for us, anyway. The weekend will be spent chopping wood, replacing a broken axe handle, wrapping pipes, etc. Winter joy.

Now It Begins

Now It Begins

Our first real snow of winter. Here’s hoping it’s not a repeat of last winter.

Getting Back To ‘Normal’

Getting Back To ‘Normal’

Look who’s back to work. Trying to get back into our routine of walking a mile or so indoors at work. A challenge, but we managed.
