2 October 2015
2 October 2015 We had another magnificent day here, sixty degrees and sunny. There was a stiff breeze blowing and it was really pleasant hiking. The wind was brisk enough to hear it whistling through the trees and it was even knocking some leaves down. Like I said, I finished my shingling so I don't feel too guilty taking off for the woods, even though there's still painting to do. We may not hike tomorrow since PD is going to visit her daughters, but we got a nice walk in today- about three and a half miles. We found a turtle basking in the sun at the landbridge. We may not see much more of that, if the weather turns cold. There are a lot fewer dragonflies too, and they're smaller. Today we took the Mandala trail through a mature oak/beech forest. The trail winds around a couple of small bogs and I love seeing the sun glinting on the trees in the bog from the darkness of the forest. Maybe I'll paint tomorrow. It's supposed to rain and that will give me a good excuse to put off finishing again. Become a member now and get a free tote bag. |

Thanks Leo. It was fun nailing up the diamond patterns, but it ate through a lot of shingles, and it made for a lot of cutting. Become a member now and get a free tote bag.

Shingles look great! All photos are wonderful, but the one of PD and Gracie is so serene ... And photo above that, conveys completely different mood, it's edgy.

Thank you sweetest! I had planned on doing some other patterns too, but I'll have to save them for the next project. there's room on the north side of the house for something like the photo below, in a separate comment, and I'd LOVE to try that. Become a member now and get a free tote bag.

House chores can always wait another day. I love how the bark is curling off that tree. I thought that peeling bark was cool, too. Become a member now and get a free tote bag.

I hope you blow the photo of PD and Gracie up. That is a beautiful shot. I get my photo's done at Walgreens. They have the best prices and if you watch for sales, you can get enlargements done very cheap.

Thanks! You have an open invitation, any time you want, and you can talk about anything you choose. Except Kardashians. No Kardashian talk here. I'd rather talk about shit. I even blogged about dog shit once. It went over quite nicely, thank you. Become a member now and get a free tote bag.

I'm good at starting things but terrible at finishing things. My solution now is not to start things!

Well, I coulda been more oblique, I reckon, but but there are a lot of famous big asses out there (several of them are running for President) and naming the dreaded name seemed the most direct approach. I did worry about calling up the demons, but I only uttered it twice so I think we're OK. I don't know if it's available in the UK, but Colin Quinn has a fairly new comedy routine (this year), "Unconstitutional" and the said K family got a mention. It's a scream if you can get a chance to watch it. Become a member now and get a free tote bag.

No, that's a pic I found on the web of a trompe l'oeil in wood on an old cottage. I tried to post it in response to [blog Darling_Annette] but I lost my gold card and couldn't. I got it back (the gold) this morning so I came in and posted it so everyone could see what I was talking about. I'd like to do something like this on the north side of my house just for kicks, and, OK to show off. Which only works if you don't fuck it up! Our house is quirky and weird so it lends itself to stuff like this picture. I want to experiment with adding different kinds of natural siding- the place was built small, added on and added on and added on again, so instead or homogenizing it. I think I'd capitalize on the many additions by treating them in different ways. There's an old Queen Anne house in Kalamazoo that was purpose built that way and it's way cool. This is the way our place looked before painting and shingling- not good. [image] Become a member now and get a free tote bag.
