A Puzzle and the Other Side of the River

the puzzle I have been working on....998 pieces of a 1000 piece puzzle....two pieces missing, never had that happen before..

They are working on the other side of the river now...We went out late afternoon and were only there a few minutes....blue dump truck just unloaded.

and here is another truck load

note the blue truck already on the bridge heading for another load....quite the project!

Time at the Farm

We went to the farm Sunday afternoon.. Richard worked in the firewood while I walked around and took a few pictures. I sat on the pond dam for a while and when I left I noticed this muddied little hole....wonder what did that?

Always liked the pretty berries on the cedar trees.

lichen on a stick!

dead tree in the field

pretty little bird nest in a small bush

old board being squeezed by a tree and bent by time

barbed wire sticking out of the bottom of the dead tree.

another dead tree picture

just a pretty weed...couldn't decide which picture to post, so I posted them both!

It sure was a nice day to be outside!

Bridge Update

We went down to look at the 63 bridge late this afternoon...Richard took these pictures...It looks like they are done or nearly done.

63 Bridge

The crew has moved on to the 63 bridge to do repair work there...We went down to check it out this afternoon..

There was a guy across the river fishing.

dumping a load of rock.

Looking downriver!

Dungeon Diving

I located these Barbie furniture pieces to pass along to Emily to play with...a couple of them needed some minor repairs, but are now good to go!  I hope she has fun with them!

I also came  across this amaryllis plant that had been down there for at least a year....I brought it upstairs and watered it a few days ago and look what it's doing!  I took this picture this morning and I swear it grew some today!  You can also see my little Valentine's display...crystal dish with different colored hearts and  a pretty red glass pitcher!

Wednesday Randoms

I have been cleaning out a small piece of furniture in our bedroom...which is where I found most of these....think I have enough? Ha!  and I know for a fact there are more in the dungeon, more in my sun-catcher tote and more in my Christmas stuff...I did manage to put a few in a donate box...and the colored ones went to be displayed in the windows for a spot of  color.

I will try these pictures again someday, as I have seen these  windows with super pretty patterns...these are the windows in our garage doors..Jack Frost!

love these vintage ladies hankerchiefs...such detail and so sweet!

Swans

Richard took these pictures of a flock of swans on the river this afternoon...what a deal!  I have never seen swans around here before.  there were about 25 of them. He even got to see them take off and fly down the river...
