Womb Chair Back

Probably the quickest Paul has ever worked.  He welded the broken part back together and the chair is back to it's former glory.
 

Bird Feeder

W bought a bird feeder. I bought a shepard's crook.  And now there are a multitude of little birds flocking to the front yard.
 

Womb Chair Down

One of the legs snapped off the womb chair yesterday. I took the frame off and discovered 2 more fractures, as well.  Handyman Paul will try to do some welding to get it all working again. The chair is 50 years old and I've had it for over 30 of those years. I would hate to have to say goodbye.
 

It's Almost 2024, Right?

Flat Earthers debating the shape of the planet. Believing it's a sphere is supposedly one of the Devil's greatest achievements. Below, The perceptive comedian/author David Mitchell gives us his conclusion  on the Graham Norton Show

Nearly Done

Nearly done now.  Just waiting on a Vanderwolf pine to go where the redwood used to be.
 

New Walkway

Flagstone

 

The big flagstones are being delivered this morning.

Quote of the Day

First Frost, First Fire

 

The Slope

They started to plant the slope today and finished some irrigation.
 

Crazy Times

Creek Bed

The guys created the dry creek bed today that will separate the slope from the flagstone path.
 

Stream Bed Goes In

Yesterday a big heaping, steaming load of dirt got delivered.  The guys backfilled up to the dry creek rock border.  More boulders arrived at the end of the day.  Today they are laying out the stream bed and diverting the gutter downspout drainage.

Rock Planting

Rocks and boulders came today.  The guys planting them to create the dry creek bed that will be in front of the house.
 

Barren

They spent the day scraping the front yard yesterday.  They hopefully finish that job today and maybe get to some boulder/rock placements
 

Bye Bye Yard

They are starting to scrape away the front yard today.
 

Of Fog and Pumpkins

A foggy morning on Lake Selmac gave way to bright sunshine. On the way back into town, we stopped at a local farm to pick up a few pumpkins and squash. Although I really wanted to, I heeded the sign and refrained from jumping on the pumpkins.

 

Eclipse

The path of today's eclipse went right over head.  Cloudy morning parted for a few minutes just as the peak coverage was occurring. Five minutes later, the clouds returned.  Very lucky for us.
 

Chilly Lake of the Woods

It was a brisk 47 when we got out on the water at Lake of the Woods.  The mountains already have snow. Bruce and I braved shorts while the girls wore long johns. They are getting ready for Halloween up there and a loaded bloody mary helped to chase the cold away.
