Just seen this fat robin and I thought that I would share it with you. Hopefully spring is real close. To find out, she did not want her picture taken.
“What are you looking at?”
Here is a old butter churner that is in real good shape. I went back to a garage sale to buy one that was a replica, but it had already sold. The lady said she had an original one inside. It was a real good price so I bought it.
I usually do not spend much on antiques, but these two items, I spent more. Here is an unique coffee grinder with a mason jar looking top on it. I was doing some work on a house in the inner city and had to clean out a closet to get to the back of the bathtub. When I dug the stuff out, this was laying back in the corner. Obviously, not wanted and forgotten. So I asked it she was interested in selling it. She then went on saying how she liked it, how old it was, and that it was probably worth a lot at an antiques store. She was wanting me to throw a price out, but I waited on her. She quoted $20. I looked in my wallet and only had $17. She took it pretty quick. I did not have my poker face on when I asked if she wanted to sell it. She could tell that I wanted it.
Since I have started blogging, I have realized that I am terrible about taking pictures. I have done countless jobs in the past, but I have no photos of most of it. I need spring to come quick, because my picture supply is getting real low.
Here is a tree ring that fades in to the grade right behind a composite deck. It has black jack edging, muscatine brown rock, and purple winter creeper euonymus. Euonymus is very invasive and turns red/purple in the fall and winter. By the next season the euonymus had totally filled in that area. Some big rocks were added to give it some height. Also the solar lights were added. It gives it a soft glow at night. The white trellis was there for a clematis.
