Saturday the 23rd

Damp weather out.  I checked and there is no rain coming for our area.

Our tree dump is still open as evident of all the trailers and pickups heading north with their goodies.

Dennis reported that when he took his little red pickup for a jaunt around town today, he had to do a drive into and around our acre.  I need to stop calling it the blue barn acre.  I think it would be better calling it our park acre.  We did an amazing amount of work this year to get it looking quite spiffy.  Dennis even gave Kevin the tour of the park when they were here several weeks ago to help Dennis get the outside items buttoned up.  If all goes well with us, 2025 will see a few more trees taken down so the driveway off of the Hammond highway is a bit easier.  Our tree-man, Ryan, said to give him a shout when we need him.

My buttoning up was getting the old black office chair in from the front deck.  The chair had served me well this last season as breakfast coffee in the mornings was enjoyable out on the deck.

I have put in my time in the studio working on the old trunk.  Under the paper that I am taking off is the rough wood that I can easily see the etchings of a saw.  The cover of the trunk shows better lumber.  The metal bands holding the trunk have done a darn good job.

Our supper is going to be frozen waffles and frozen breakfast sausages.  

The freshly-laundered flannel sheets guarantee good sleeping conditions for this night.

I am saving some hand stitching for this evening that I will work on under the magnified light.

With that I will take my leave.  ♥
