Happy Camper...

A Happy Camper I am...when one is not expecting a sudden happy change. With the start of my second shift at the new Aluminum Smelter I wasn't expecting to end up with the perfect job for me, far from the maddening crowd in what is called the North 40, working with friends in Receiving and Shipping of scaffolding to various crews on the project. It feels good to get into a routine.

Thanks for visiting.
Have a great week.

From Yard Work to Yard Sale to Office Redo...

It is funny how things progress from mulching to watering to yard clean up... All ready for the Yard Sale, feels like an all week trip, made a lot of progress a feeling  of momentum ...

The Fuchsias are really loving the weather, cool, wet with some sunshine Santa Claus and Tom Thumb.

Dream Board, Mom's Peace Rose and  Office taking shape!!! 

Found this weird wasp nest in an old barbecue, it won't be in the yard sale.

This shade was from Cumberland BC, been a long time since it was clean.

A pair of Fawns and the mother are hanging out back, happy to get this shot. A enamel stove panel The fishing has been good.

Mahogany and Fir piece clean, stool ready for office Meditation and a couple of pieces in my truck making room to move in office.

I want to be like Old BILLY, average horse lifespan is 29.

Lots of thrifted finds that I need to share with others so I have some room in my office to move around. 
Reverse thrifting thoughts.

Fall in the Air...

This is my favorite time of year warm sunny days cool nights. There is so much to do around the yard and garden it is time to make changes with plantings and to harvest garlic, apples and such. This year I will be doing some raised beds, changing the raspberries, building a walk in closure for the blueberries, moving some Rhodos to new beds. Gathering poles, posts, seaweed and leaves are high on my list...

BugBane, Wind Fall Fir at Elk Falls Park where my friends Fred and Robin were married on Saturday, a beautiful setting indeed! Last a Lemon Drop Clematis from our yard. 

Ruby Rhubarb that my dad gave me, it has been in the family for over 60 years. A shot of the Distillery in my neighborhood. The Peace Rose is from my mom and is over 40 years old, some apples from our tree and dill seed. Fall flowers and harvesting the garlic.

Recently while working at the Bridge Studios a friend was telling me about '' Old Billy '' Every morning and evening a massive number of black birds migrate along Still Creek where a lot of the film studios are, at some time the metal black bird was planted on the girder. My dad says he has only seen a horse live to 29 years.
