Wow, ten years since they built the first feeder, then they modified the design and built another! My guys always impress me. Oh, and we’re feeding on the Cogdill Place… how I miss that place… time marches on. This was first posted February 13, 2016. Video! Yay! Years ago, the guys started working on building…
Wordless Wednesday: Rafters and Light
For a jigsaw puzzle of this interior shot of the old cabin, go HERE.
Quiet Chapter
I was disappointed we didn’t find the remains of a dugout near the confluence of Crooked Creek and the Nowood River. Entering from the lower right, Crooked Creek is tiny, about as wide as Indy is long, but many parts of it are a good three feet down from the top of the bank. Vernon…
Lost to the Wind
It still stands fairly straight. Weather beaten. Tired. Dry. Chinked with a concrete mix overlain with split shingles. A scant 15’ by 15’. The corners are blunt ends, not dove tailed or joined in any way. A door. Two windows. A stovepipe. Floorboards have disappeared. With a bit of work, she’d be livable again. No…
Into the Soil
Vernon and I decided to explore for the Lord’s dugout and cabin. The story I posted here was a doozy and it made me wonder exactly where they lived. Locally, we call Lord’s Gulch as one that feeds into the Double Crossing, but it’s almost a mile from where I thought their cabin should be….
Well, PTL!
Well, Praise the Lord! I’m not sure how many times I’ve tried, restarted, re-entered passwords, enabled blue tooth, enabled wi-fi, until I finally deleted everything and restarted everything. Gah! What a mess. And all because of a stupid password on an updated router! But my camera once again talks to my iPad! Whoop whoop! So…….
Throwback Thursday: Soldier On, v.2.0
This was first posted February 4, 2016. Day Three of my “Let’s Create” Challenge: Vernon is in bed. I gather my watercolor palette, paper, brushes, and a small container of water. Sitting on my couch… I choose a photo to paint from my ipad collection. Today, it’s going to be my rooster, Spot. He’s actually…
Wordless Wednesday: Sunset Splendor
Oh, I was so mad at my camera and wifi last night! I did not feel like blogging! But, today… a splendid sunset followed me home… relax… try your hand at a jigsaw puzzle here.
Peg Loom 3
Still no luck downloading photos. Can anyone say, Aggravation? Tonight I had another peg’s worth of bags slid down on my rug. I can tell that the first rows I didn’t twist the bags any, and then for some reason I decided to. It has a different look to it but that may not be…
Peg Loom 2
Vernon and I went on a little adventure today and I was all set to share but my camera is refusing to find my wifi and download photos. Our internet provider brought us a new router… I have no idea what was wrong with the old one… probably nothing. The installer insisted we use a…
Peg Loom
Congratulations, it’s a peg loom! This type of weaving predates the Vikings. Pegs are set into the holes in a board. Weft strings are laced into the pegs. Then whatever you’re wanting your rug to be made from, for my first one, I’m using plastic grocery bags looped into a rope. It is wound alternately…
Welp
I’ve told myself over and over again… I don’t need another craft… I don’t need another craft… Welp, I’ve got another craft… Any guesses? I’m pretty sure this is a craft few of you have heard about. Hopefully, tomorrow I can give it a really good try…
