Friday’s highlight was visiting my friend Carol’s place out in Philomath. I picked up Lauren and we headed out around 1. The day couldn’t have been better. Sunshine and 60+degrees. Here is our tour around the farm. Lambs and more lambs! He was checking us out! One mom had triplets! I think these were allContinue reading “Lambs of Spring”

And More Leaves
Things are finally moving along. The sides required more leaves and I created a sleeve off one shoulder. That part didn’t work. It’s all a learning process.

Morning Walk Images
It was such a beautiful morning. I did take some great video, but my computer is not recognizing anything I upload. Maybe it’s time for a new video card Dave.
More signs of Spring

In the backyard while taking a break from mowing I sighted a butterfly. Spring Beauties, a type ofContinue reading “More signs of Spring”
Leaf Coat Project
The problem: What can I create using lots of dead leaves. Solution: A coat! How did I come to this realization? Well, that’s for another posting. All I can say is that my mind works in strange ways. It did take several weeks to come up with the “how to” part. So here we go!Continue reading “Leaf Coat Project”
