WHERE DID ALL THOSE YEARS GO?

ME AS A LITTLE GIRL

I passed a milestone birthday yesterday. This one bothered me more than some of the other special birthdays. Though it is hard to admit there are some signs that I am slowing down. My strength is waning and I feel more tired after doing things that were not thought of as an effort 5 years ago.

I want the bad occasions to go by fast and the good things to last forever. Some memories are a blur and some things are remembered in super great detail.

I had lunch with friends and our son had us over to his home in Kent for supper. No cooking on my birthday was a good thing.

I am looking forward to 10 more years and yet another milestone birthday. When I look in the mirror I see the same person that I have always been.

The Future Brick Path Starts to Take Shape

Image
We hunted up all the bricks that we could find around the pile of old stuff out back. We do think there are about enough to make the path through the garden. Rectangular sidewalk pieces will be on each end of the walk.  We are also waiting for a custom made iron plate to be finished for the street light mounting base. Quick Service Welding in Kent will make custom made pieces to order. This walkway and lighting project will most certainly be finished before the snow flies. This is worked on only part time as there are always the usual chores to finish.

The Old School House in Peninsula Ohio

Image
The old Boston Township schoolhouse in Peninsula, Ohio has been nicely preserved though it seemed a rather depressing looking place as we passed it yesterday. It was cloudy at the time and some granular snow was falling. The old building is now used for town functions and a great contradance takes place there from time to time. It makes me happy to see the preservation of the historic old buildings. I'm certain this school holds many memories, good and bad, for the people who attended school there.

Bright Stuff and Things Around the Yard

Image
I found a bright almost neon yellow fungus growing on an old rotted stump yesterday. It was not there at all today. In its place was this weird looking orange spongy fungus.  The round finials on the old iron fence have been sealed with caulk so that water will not enter the hollow posts.  Any day that we see a honeybee is a bright day.  May your day be bright Full of sunshine and flowers Sunny thoughts and love -Caroline
