Last Night ....
And today it rained most of the day. I had to take the trash out to the street with an umbrella (Monday is trash pick up day) in my P.J.'s
We got a box from Lea's sister on Friday full of gifts .... wow .... it was so fun! It was full of great stuff like tins of "SweetRiot", White Sage, Herbs, a Jet sphere, another piece of Jet that feels really good to hold, Ginger Candy, QiGong DVD's, a Mandala Healing kit, Origami Notecards, a Giraffe that looks like it was carved from picture Jasper, an Aventurine Elephant, Golden Calcite (very special piece ... clear with lots of rainbow), black Kyanite, Watercolors, some cooking utensils, and a couple of flashlights. It was so fun getting this box .... I think we just don't give or get presents enough. Here's a picture of the ravaged box ....
Here's my giraffe and jet ....
And here's the jet sphere .....
So today we decided that we really needed to build a new rain collection system so we went to "old man Dobbs" and got ourselves a couple of new 55 gallon drums. Loaded those wet suckers (remember it was raining) up into the car and for now they're sitting in our carport ....
This is what we're going to be replacing (not that it needs it) ....
We've eaten tons of peppers and they're still producing ..... here's what's left .....
So we've gotten into driving the dirt back roads in the backwoods hills .... yes .... I know .... we really should be driving a truck and not a mini van but it's sooooo fun and a little scary, but that's part of the fun. We came upon a really old cemetary .... miles from nowhere ... we're going back on Halloween and take some pictures :) We did pick up a great flat rock, perfect for a stepping stone, on the side of the road. We need about 30 more of these so we'll be going back to hunt more ....
Great photos. It does look like your old rain collection thing has seen better days. Can't wait for the old cemetery pictures at Holloween. Thanks for doing this blog.
ReplyDeleteWhat a cool package. The jet sphere is fantastic and makes Liv salivate. The flat rock is the envy of stepping walkway builders. We just cleaned up ours and I'll put up a couple of pics soon. Great job gals. Send some of your energy west please.
ReplyDeleteHey Bobbie and Mir .... good to read your comments. Bobbie ... I will put up some good Halloween cemetery photos when the time comes ... I love Halloween and I'll be doing some fun front yard decorating.
ReplyDeleteMir ... yes ... that Jet sphere is awesome and it's so very good for the house.
As for the stepping stone .... we were just driving down the rutted rocky dusty dirt road when we spotted the flat rock on the side and slammed on the brakes. It's very heavy and really a perfect stepping stone. It did occur to us that we weren't looking for flat rocks on the road so our further trips will be a little more attentive to the road rock.
We're really thinking that we need to trade the van in for a Jeep ... what do you think?
Energy sent :)
I loved the sunrise, sunset pics--looks so peaceful.
ReplyDeleteYou definitely need a pickup or Jeep living out in the toolies!!
