2010 Pictoral Review
Here's a few highlights from our last year. Some you all have seen and some you missed because I disappeared for several months (I am so sorry for that, by the way).
In 2010 . . .
Our guineas started reproducing .
Roy had a wind turbine up and running for a customer at the very start of the year - it produced 26,700 kW-hours by last night. By the end of the summer, he had also installed our personal wind turbine and solar panels. He also became a certified energy auditor, providing low cost audits to northeast Colorado (call for yours today! ).
Roy dug a big hole and made it pretty, among other projects.
We traveled quite a bit. Twice to California to visit my family. One trip to Pennsylvania for a funeral - a beautiful trip, but sad, of course. A great little vacation to Palisade, CO . And a weekend in Rapid City, South Dakota for the National Farmer's Union Annual Convention .
I cut all my hair off and I really wondered, "Why didn't I do this 10 years ago?"
We struggled with skunks , watched a litter of kittens grow up, and Kearney got to meet a deer . . . taking that picture through a screen door at the crack of dawn didn't work so well, but I think you get the gist.
And the wind blew a bit.
We found out about our next little one .
And I got bigger and bigger and bigger!
I helped establish Haxtun's Farmers Market - look for it next summer!
Melise turned 2 and got a very cool spotted purple elephant cake.
Melise won first place for her wagon in the kiddie parade at Haxtun's Corn Festival.
Roy's veggies won some ribbons, too.
Roy helped Melise build her first snowman .
Christmas flew by in a flurry of wrapping paper.
And we ended the year in a dismal snow storm.
Now where do we go? Well, 2011 started with a beautiful blue sky, albeit a little cold still. But I have high hopes for this year. Our baby is due close to the end of January, so there is an adventure soon to come! I'm sure other adventures will find their way to us. I will post as often as I am able, but I imagine that I won't be very reliable for the next few months - I do hope you understand!

Great recap! I loved reading it and enjoyed all of the photos. The snowman was wonderful!
