Meadow is beautiful! Is that a moving blanket? Or just a regular blanket? Looks like a moving blanket I found at harbor freight.

It's a "poncho liner" for the military issued ponchos. Google "Woobie" when you are bored or can't sleep. That one is a knock off, the surplus one is old and faded.
Why? Because you can never have enough!

From 2015
This house… just a few years ago, around this cemetery, there were beautiful oaks and hickories, 100Yrs old. As cemeteries go, a nice place.
About 10 years ago the property owner had the timber cut and then built this mansion on the hill. Ugly, not a flower or shrub planted around it. They didn’t even leave a single tree.
I finally heard the story behind this house. An old woman lost her only adult child suddenly. He is buried in this cemetery. (I know the family)
She had this house built so she’d be close to her kid. Only the stress of these events wrecked her health. Still lives in town with live-in care. She never moved. This huge house still sits empty on the barren hill, no one has ever moved into it…
I always thought this was the ugliest house for many miles. Now it's just ugly and sad.

Mewlatto doing his impression of a lucky cat statue. He got his claws stuck in the scented pinecones (they were cinammon scented).
Finally!!! A picture that is not the sink!
Gettin' creative with chicken wire...
Did you make this?
Got the pump house/solar battery shed in yesterday. Beautiful day to be out working, smoke is dissipating and wasn’t too hot in the woods.
Should be able to move out on the property by next month. The well is in, just need the well pump.
Noooo! Just saw the photo on another platform...Did you make this?
Well you try to make one and take a picture of the results!

DrJenner, that is great! I hope you will post more pics when you get the pump in. I wonder how many solar panels and at what strength it would take to run the pump.

Will the house be rebuilt?House being demolished just 3-doors down from us.
It flooded one too many times and FEMA bought it out.
Is this the 'rumble in the distance', and I should worry about when it will be "our turn"?

Here is an old Pioneer Cemetery near our old police department which we were responsible to check for vandalism on our "GRAVEYARD" shift.
Nobody knows. If FEMA owns it, that is unlikely.
I disavow any knowledge of what Lori did to this poor thing . EV recharge?
. EV recharge?
That is Tom, his friend John is out and about. I make Lori nuts, I call em Tom and Jerry

If that flood prone why not put the house on stilts? Seriously, most of south Louisiana is flood prone. Parts of Nola are under water if a big thunderstorm comes by.

Meet Bike. The empty days are so stupid long and lonely and roaming around the countryside on Bike is my therapy. No planned destination, just wandering wherever Bike feels like going. This pic is from a few weeks ago when we stopped at a roadside park with a flowing well. Not sure yet what I'll do when the snow comes and Bike wants to stay home.
Nice Bike
Enjoy every second while you can!!
That is why I never want to spend another winter up north! 3 winters in Buffalo, 2 in Chicago. Felt like I should have the post office hold my mail at the end of October and then sleep until May. Being cooped up all winter made me a little stir-crazy, actually a lot stir-crazy.
I don't do well inside for extended periods. I wish you luck with that... I never got the hang of it.Reminds me of the immortal words of John Prine "Send my mouth way down south and kiss my a$* goodbye". I guess the trade off for mild winters are Hurricanes and heat in the summer. At least I can go outside year round instead of staring out the window at snow 5 months each year.

Yeah, what's that saying? I live where the air hurts my face? I'll take it. No floods, no hurricanes, no alligators, no spiders the size of my hand, just an occasional tornado to duck and the creepy-crawlies die off or hibernate much of the year. I've always loved the snuggle down -ber months, but that was before. Maybe I'll pick up a cheap quad or something so I can keep going when the roads get bad.
Lets go racin'.

Here it is wrapped next to the others. She cooks a lot, so I looked online and I got the best measuring set of spoons. I looked online and got the best measuring cups. I looked around, found the best set of knives, gaped at the price (nearly $1000) and got the second best set.
All the other gifts are for my nephew. My brother is starting a family so I'm only buying gifts for those three this Christmas.
Everyone else gets a copy of my book, "Meditations on scripture."
