Well, I hope to find at least one box today. Not sure if I'll plant one, though.

I get to find a new box today that was just planted this week. It's rare that we get any new ones here in Central IL that are within an easy driving time.

Over the river and through the woods
To grandma's house we go
I found my first box of 2016
It was under the snow

I planted two boxes late last night and posted the clues, but it was before midnight. Guess those don't count as 2016 plants, but it was a good start to the New Year weekend.

After being thwarted by several inches of ice, we finally found a box! Woohoo! Let the year begin!

Southpaw and I hiked in a beautiful area today. Found one box and planted one box, plus saw and heard loons. Managed to avoid getting attacked by bears. Great way to start 2016!

Found a wonderful old box today and took a little hike to see a waterfall. Just noticed I had a cake by my name today too!

Happy New Year!!!

I went out to find my first box of the year this morning, but sadly, it was missing. I hope that isn't a harbringer of things to come!

We headed out for our first box this afternoon, but one of our labs ran onto the ice and jumped into the river. So I used some basic rescue techniques that we recently learned. Crawled out on the ice with a huge branch and pulled her out. So much for boxing today.
