Working in the yard with Grandma and Grandpa Miller 2-14-09

We spent Valentine's Day morning working and playing in the yard. There is a lot of work to still be done. Jon wanted to take out the chain saw and cut down some fallen trees. Grandma and Grandpa had fun walking and discovering new things in the woods. The highlight of the morning was when Sarah found a shrew. I had not believed that they really existed. They do! I saved you from viewing the pictures of the poor dead animal. It was about the size of a mouse, but it has claws, nose and short tail like a mole. Grandma thought that it got the name shrew because of its long nose, like an old woman who is called a "shrew". Maybe she is right.
