I have quite the feeling of accomplishment. Years ago I bought a quilting frame & machine from an elderly friend who was downsizing. It's been laying disassembled all around my house, garage, and barn ever since. I FINALLY cleared out some space and set the thing up. The friend whom I bought...

Nothing like putting stuff off until the last minute: I finally cleared the leaves off the driveway. Also edged, which was the hard part. Darn creeping charlie & virginia creeper trying to take over my driveway like a jungle engulfing an ancient temple. Then cleaned up after the pissers I...

Yo. Welcome.

More fun today. House guest and I went out for breakfast buffet, then a bit of hiking at Devil's Lake, then pottered up past the hells I mean Dells to do some hiking around the river. After that, pure laziness. I ditto the congrats on the truck. Jim, knock it off. I do NOT need your help to...

Fun day yesterday. Drove over to the "Amish Walmart" near Ontario Wisconsin. Made a small purchase but really didn't see everything--I went into "ferret shock" a.k.a. sensory overload and had to leave. Then spent a couple hours hiking some of the easier trails at Wildcat Mountain state park...

Tasty, tasty freeloaders.

Spent yesterday driving the "farm art DTour" of Reedsburg fermentation fest. I was not particularly impressed with the "art", but it was a beautiful drive--especially the part where I missed a turn and got lost. Best part of the day: found a "frog ID" tape in the free bin at a yard sale...

Crap! Poor bees.

Granola Girl, yes it's still running on Sunday. The parking is mucky and the fair grounds are loaded with mosquitoes so bring bug spray.

Anybody else going to the Wisconsin International show in Portage this weekend?

Oh, HELL. Cindy, I'm so sorry.

Long day yesterday taking in the Rock River Thresheree. A long drive but I'm addicted to old machinery. If I'd known there was a calliope I'd have skipped it. I'd rather hear a steam engine than a calliope any day.

Spy, you mean you're NOT going to eat seeds and fruit and regurgitate into that fugly beak? Cuz it makes ME want to regurgitate.

Oh for crying out loud . . . this is the THIRD time this month that a possum has wandered into an unbaited live trap. I mean, I KNOW that possums are stoooopid, but is there no limit?!
