The last piece
The last piece of old flooring came up yesterday. Butch took the day off today and played golf. I rode down to the river and back.
Two remarkable, in the true sense of the word, pictures came my way today. I did not take either one of them but I have learned to recognize the good stuff.
My niece Tara raises chickens, rabbits and cares very much for dogs. Any animal really. She posted this picture on Facebook and I snipped it. She said,"The girls really enjoy their freedom."
And this is a picture of Twila, Butch's cousin. It was taken in England in the mid-1960's. I liked it very much as it reminded me of a Vermeer painting, the last supper picture on the wall, the vase of flowers on the table, the soft glow of the light through the window and Twila in a very natural pose indicating her work is done.
Twila's daughter posted the picture on Caring Bridge. Twila is in hospice now and very tired much of the time. Her daughter was saying that her mother has always been beautiful even when she is tired. And I certainly must agree.

Backed Up
This is a series of pictures I had no time to deal with till this morning.
Floor progress:
drivers seat
Taking up the glued down wood has been tedious and often frustrating
Passenger seat. Butch would like to get it done back past the seats and get the seats remounted to have them out of the way more than anything.
This is the front flower bed. Not much has been done to it yet. In its current condition, it tells me I have reached a goal- that being not to need much for it to be presentable.
On the bike trail...
My work gloves. I want it to be known that I do sometimes work. I will admit these gloves are at least 3 years old
This will be the spot for the lizard but I am needing more rock to do it right. And first, we have to get rid of a million seed pods.
Butch helped Mickey put this shed together. It looks far better now. This was taken shortly after completion.

Painting fun with Karla
Yesterday I helped Karla paint her wicker chairs. She finished them. She is color shy so I pushed her a bit. She can always repaint them another time. She owned the chairs. We found the cushions on a garage sale- brand-new indoor/outdoor cushions for a whopping $5! Snapped them up pronto.
Karla always has a hanging basket of flowers and I see she picked one up yesterday as well. Her deck now looks very inviting.
