NICE TO HAVE A PROJECT GOING ON WHEN ONE FEELS LIKE HAVING A PROJECT GOING ON

A CLEMATIS FLOWER IN OUR YARD
With a cool cloudy start to the day, I had myself a productive morning going on until Old Sol came dancing out of the clouds, heated up the already damp air, and sent me scrambling into the house.  Of course, Pheebs and I started our day earlier in the usual manner with a Jeep ride.  Rolling out about 8:30 we were home again about 9:30.
SIDING IS ALMOST COMPLETE ON THE TIM HORTON COFFEE SHOP/CONVENIENCE STORE
HEADING OUT OF THE BAYFIELD HARBOR TO DO SOME EARLY MORNING FISHING
THIS GREEN BUG EYED PORSHE IS STILL HANGING OUT IN BAYFIELD

A MIX OF QUEEN ANNE'S LACE AND BLUE CHICORY







Kelly was already busy sorting and carrying out kitchen things to the RV.  It's always a good sign when I see Kelly carrying out stuff.  I busied myself washing and cleaning a number of plastic bins which will be used for storing things both inside the rig and outside in the one larger storage bin we have.  Because of the morning's cooler air, I resumed Winnie's exterior washing and polishing as well.  It's nice to have a project going on when one feels like having a project going on.  Weather permitting of course.  
STARTING TO SEE A FEW SHINY SPOTS
TRYING OUT A FEW BIN COMBINATIONS
About mid-afternoon winds picked up blowing in cooler air so under cloudy skies Pheebs and set out for a walk back through the forest to have us a look at the on-going road construction.  
FACING WEST WITH THE CREEK GULLEY BEHIND ME
TURNING AROUND FACING EAST I AM ATOP A 20' PILE OF SANDY CLAY WAITING TO BE BULLDOZED DOWN INTO THAT HOLLOW TO BUILD UP THE ROAD
ON THE OTHER SIDE NOW LOOKING BACK AND NOTICE MY FOOTPRINTS COMING DOWN THAT BIG PILE OF SANDY CLAY
Had been at least a couple weeks since we were last out for a comfortable afternoon walk.  No Deer Flys today.

-You're still scalping tickets after the concert is over.

Dad, will you help me with my homework?"
"I'm sorry," replied the father. "It wouldn't be right."  "Well, " said the boy, "at least you could try."

  1. Al, that 'Nasturtium' flower looks awfully like the Clematis in the second last picture. You sure you got that right?

    1. Thanks Furry, your right. I forgot we had a Clematis plant in amongst the Nasturtiums and Morning Glories. I'm lucky if I can tell the difference between a tulip and a strawberry plant. I'll make the corrections.

  4. The lovely red clover makes a very tasty hot tea; with a taste of sugar, of course. So many different wildflowers you have that 'my' Tennessee also has. I delve into plant medicine.
