Well. It’s been an age but it seems appropriate to take up blogging again.

 Stand-by as I remember how this works! 

Hmm, oh there, got it! 

These images are a month or two old, but I needed a start.

Hello, 2015!

I haven't been here in awhile.
What a trip down memory lane.
I just added a wonderful link to my linky list.
Check it out.
I will work on fotos soon.
Much has happened since my last visit; I will attempt to catch up as I can.
Until then...Peace

Family Forest

They used to be called Tree Farms.
Now they are called "Family Forests".
We now have the official designation.
Mike wrote up a management plan and submitted it
to the state. We were approved.
We got this rockin' sign.

Mock Orange on the Half Shell



I found this blue shell on a walk, I carried it with me on my finger tip.
Then I smelled the mock orange in full bloom. I had to take a big bouquet home with me
and I knew the shell would get crushed in the process, so I made this little still life and left it on the rock.

Recycling

A work in progress.
The old barn is becoming a garden.
I built a gate.
Yep! All by myself.
Every part of it is repurposed
except for a few random screws.
I even used the screws from the ski bindings
where I could.
The hinges were part of the old doors on the barn.
Wait till you see the latch.....
stand-by.
There are some bad@s$ roses in and around
this barn. I have trimmed them up
and tied them up
and cannot wait for their grand performance.
They are likely wild, but are thriving so
they are as high as the walls, and the hips
on them are BIG.
I wonder what color the blooms are?
