 It was a productive weekend! The first thing I finished was getting Estelle's quilt quilted. This will be a veterans quilt. It's such a simple block but has a great graphic impact.  The pantograph I used is called Macrame. It's probably my current favorite and it's nice to use to soften a scrappy quilt or a quilt with strong geometric lines.  I also finished my big yard project that I've been working on. This is what the area next to the road looked like. This photo is of my neighbor's yard. I talked to his caretaker while I was out working and we agreed to the property line. He'll tackle this part. Neither of our properties have been maintained on this road line in at least 20 years. The next 2 photos is of what mine looks like now. It was a lot of work because there's probably 60 - 80 feet of road frontage that looked like this.   There's so much more that we should take out be Chris and I agreed that we have done enough for now. We are very happy with the results and we don't have limbs hanging over the road anymore. The school bus driver should be happy too.  How much stuff did we cut? 4 or 5 piles this big. This pile is even bigger than it looks because the ground slopes down under it. It was a crazy amount of stuff but that Stihl pruning saw made it easy.  Now it's time to start a month of blowing leaves.
Today I have my annual physical and my last election training class. This one is on security and situational awareness. This one should be good for me because I do not pay any attention to my surroundings or the people around me. 10/28/2024 02:37:31 pm
I know what you mean about not paying attention to situational surroundings I don't either. Some people might go to Wal-Mart looking for places to hide if needed and I have never thought of it until one day in the Wal-Mart Neighborhood Market they were calling a code over the speaker - several workers went running towards the back of the store no one knew what was going on - the person checking me out didn't know and had to look at a card she took from her pocket - by then some people looked really nervous until she said there was an accident at the back of the store - when I left there was an ambulance out front already so no one in the store should have been having panic attacks but that is how people are now days

Sounds like your training is very detailed. That was a lot of clean up! It tires me out just thinking about it! LOL!! Comments are closed.
