bugs
!!!!Thomas McConnell has posted a bunch of his shots for the cool house tour. ours is the first of the group. kat and I just stared at his pics for a while this morning. we'd like to move into that house, nevermind the real thing was behind us, we like looking at his pics better!
click HERE to see the pics he took of our house
I also like looking at the toguchi & weathroford house that is #25 of the guide book I wish I could go on the tour. but I sorta have to stick around here. I'd also like to see the binford residence #7.
could somebody ask the folks at the billig bldg #31 who made those crazy tiles I see over the front door, on the back splash and up a column near the kitchen. also of interest is the nick mehl design #33 (we have friends planning to build a nick mehl design) and the pilgrim build #32 (we were in this house while it was under construction, I like pilgrim)
we got some CRAZY bugs in tx. found this crawling by the pool.
he started playing possum when I put him on this paper to take his pic
I've been spending short bursts of time in the garage. I would run in, get what I needed and run out as I could hear the buzzing. I saw the yellow jackets seemed to circle this bag of car parts.
I suited up and went in armed with wasp spray!
the nest!
evicted! permanently!
nana's summer craft camp is in session. daughter loves artsy things. #1 son said, "do I have to paint more pots?" he did eventually tap into his inner artist and find pleasure in applying paint to pots.
my daughter made this in last summer's clay camp. she has rock camp starting next week. she'll be playing guitar in a band.
halloween? no, it was on sale at harbor freight tools and my old welding helmet was getting slow with the dimming action. so now I am the cyclops flaming skull welder. had to do a repair down by the car port. when I first welded some of the fencing I was running through a 100 ft extension cord. didn't get good penetration. good and secure now.
life in the lower pond is thriving. the snails have many, many, many baby snails. the mussels are happy and we have several tadpoles.
