Raven, I was thinking what amazing progress the kids are making on their house!
Yer right - They are making great progress.
Still ... NOT fast enough!! This weekend while I was gone, they got the two cement pillars poured for the bump out. They did this while my son's future father-in-law was visiting. And, they broke the cement mixer.
My BF thinks that it might just be a shear pin, so it won't be too much trouble to fix. On the way up the hill from the home site, my son's fiance and her father were riding in the trailer. Apparently the trailer wasn't attached properly and disconnected from the truck. The two of 'em went rolling back down the hill until they struck a tree. Fiance sustained a nice long cut on her back that looks like it was rather deep. Future father-in-law was fine.
Good night, everyone. Another fall photo from my walk on Friday.
Ohhh -
pretty!! Snagged it for a puzzle.
Since the school kids were out on fall break all of last week and my BF works for the school system, I got some extra time with him. That's why I've been absent. He doesn't have Wi-Fi coming to his house. Instead, he uses his personal phone as a hotspot. He didn't have his phone on much, so I wasn't able to get on the net. But, we got in a lot of time working on his house. He's been a bachelor for over five years since his wife passed away, and, well, his house needs some deep cleaning and major organization. His living room is now cleaner than mine and is very much a cool-lookin' man cave. His kitchen up to where the dining room area begins is now spotless. His cupboards are cleaned and reorganized and expired foods have been pitched. You can even see out of his window over the sink now. The view is a '68 Mustang guarded by weeds. That's the one waiting to be an "organ donor" for
the nice '68 Mustang that I have been assured is someplace in the garage.
Anyhow, we got a heckuva lot done on his house and that feels wonderful. Considering all of the stuff that he does for me, it feels great to do something for him.
Today, I've got a bucket full of irises that I'm going to put in the ground. If I have time, I'll plant some bulbs as well. It's chilly out there and I only have one fully-functioning hand, so I'm not really looking forward to it. My left hand is still in a brace. Sure am glad I'm right-handed.
Tritium - as far as Protank heads are concerned: Go for it! It's easy squeezee. And they taste so much better with rayon. I rebuilt roughly a zillion of 'em.
Nice shed, Lizzie! I'm so glad that you were able to take a break and go fishing in such a beautiful locale.
Thanks for all of the gorgeous photos, Sandy. I'm with BWhare about the hanger on the maple tree. I gave permission to a local to run sap lines on the other side of my creek since I'm rarely over there. That looks like a hanger for the lines that he has run over there.
Awsum - I appreciate the reminder that I need to drain and roll up my garden hose and bring it in before the first freeze. Maybe I'll do that today too while I'm out there.
Oh - Here are three views from my back deck.
