Sightseeing and Ingenuity at Its Best
It was kind of a lazy day today. I went to church in the morning. Came home and had lunch. Then put the tarp I bought yesterday on the kennel.

The world is mud-luscious and puddle-wonderful. — E.E. Cummings, poet (1894-1962) Such crazy weather this summer — lots of rain, sticky hot, then shiveringly cool, knock-you-over winds that come out of nowhere, then sunshine, blue skies and peace. Here’s a sample of clouds from last Thursday where the weather wasn’t quite sure what it wanted…
“They take pictures of climbers at the top of the mountain. They’re smiling, triumphant. They don’t take picture along the way, because who wants to remember the rest of it. We push ourselves because we have to, not because we like it. The relentless climb, the pain and anguish of taking it to the next…
I had to drive to my regular cubical today, a 45 minute trek versus the 15 minutes it took me to get the site we were implementing software at. Bummer. And right when road construction and gas prices seem to be on the rise. After work, I rushed home to let the dog out and…
Started out right away this morning on my manure project. The side of the barn went from this: To this. I got the worst of it done in four bucket loads. I know I said I’d only do three but that didn’t even take me half way down the side of the barn. Ended…
“The pure joy of daily living becomes impacted with the blood of fate and battles. There’s no turning back the man says, the one waiting to take tickets at the top of the gangplank. Still, in the past we could always wait a little. Indeed, we are waiting now.” ~ John Ashbery, “More Feedback” There…
I passed my X at work today. It struck me how awkward I felt just saying hello. How can you be with someone for over 10 years and feel so clumsy just saying hello? You know how it is when you get in a fight with your best friend and you stop speaking and it…

I love those kind of days, ones where you can just do whatever you want!
Looks like you got Java’s kennel done, it looks great!
That is an awfully smart idea by rigging up that apple picker! Too bad it didn’t work out so well!
What is it about dogs that just don’t want to relax? I have a couple of those myself! Silly! Don’t they know that us humans would like to relax from time to time?
Ha ha – I love the apple picker. that’s the kind of thing you can only get away with if you don’t have any neighbors close enough to watch you. Relaxing is good every once in a while – I think I might have done too much of it yesterday, though!
You are so good at combining pics with what’s going on in your life. Totally entertaining!
I’ve been away for a few days- working like crazy. Sounds like all in all you’ve been hanging in there. Love your blog, can’t wait to get together for writer meetings!
I love the photo of Java looking at you through the little window. Great!
And, sorry, but I chuckled about your apple picking escapades!
I also love the photo of Java peeking at you. Really enjoyed going for your walk with you. Also, Java’s kennel looks perfect…nice job.
Yes, the apple picking was definitely good for a laugh. It could have made funniest home videos if it had been recorded.
I too love the photo of Java looking down at me. She’s actually on one of the deck levels (there are two levels), looking through the rail opening.
Sue – I am totally looking forward to your show opening! And to doing the writer’s challenge. I just hope I can think of something to write about.
wow, that apple picker is something else. i might have to try that. after i try the ladder, which, i hope is easy. the best apples are at the very top of our trees. bummer!
great photo documentary of your escapades, i am enjoying your blog!
