Here is what you'll see at the side of our house. Bob concocted this stone face from a rock in our stream and (you guessed it!) a couple of quartz rocks. The quartz border continues it's way, winding around the house...
And I'm happy to report that Fred the Stone Mason came by today to help punch a hole in the wall to connect the wood stove through the famous thimble into the flue. The chimney is progressing quite nicely. And not a minute too soon: you can feel the chill in the air.
Strolling around the perimeter of our "back forty" (well, back 4.36 acres...) I can't help but being drawn up short by this sight:
Another project! To remove this crazy brushpile that has been residing at the end of the puppy pen/ flower garden since this spring. I suppose it has blocked a bit of the view of the "Thomas Kincaid House" next door, but it's hardly a lovely sight. On a cheerier note, at least a family of two of chipmunks has found a home in the pile. At least someone has found a use for our pile of sticks!
