Wednesday October 31st

Yikes, it's been almost 2 weeks since I reported in. Sorry about that.
The craft fair weekend before last was really nice. And it was Huge! We wore ourselves out seeing it all. Lots of beautiful handmade stuff. I have to say though, except for the woodturners (who had gorgeous bowls and vases), none of the woodworkers I saw had anything that compared to the beauty and quality of what Mike made.

Last week the weather was horrid every single day. Rain, howling wind, and cold. Ugh. I didn't get much done. This week so far is lovely. Sunny and mid 60s - low 70s.

Thursday October 18th

Well, I finished painting the bedroom finaly. It looks much better, but even if it didn't I wouldn't redo it. What a pain that job was! I'm glad it's fixed though, it'd been bugging me since day one.
Now I need to catch up on the yard work but monday it poured all day, tuesday I ran errands, and yesterday it rained all day again. Last night it REALLY stormed and this morning the yard is just covered in tree debris. Hopefully it'll dry up enough today or tomorrow to clean it up.

This weekend I'm going to the War Eagle Craft Fair with Roxann. Should be fun, it's the biggest craft fair in the state. http://www.beaverlake.com/wareagle/wareagle.htm

Sunday when I was in the bedroom painting Tux started barking so I looked out the back window to see what was up. There was a huge buck deer just standing in the backyard. He took off before I could grab the camera though - I "almost" had a nice picture for today.

Thanks for the song y'all ::::::smile:::::::

Friday October 12th

43 degrees this morning. Brrrr. It's been windy and cool this week so I started redoing the bedroom walls. I did a hurried and cruddy job the first time and the paint color was horrid, I've been wanting to redo it since day one. So far I've primed and retextured (hopefully it'll look like plaster when I'm done). Today I'll start the actual painting.
Starting tomorrow it should be warm again.

The seismic crews are finaly gone. I was seriously annoyed! The crew were mexicans who pretended they didn't speak english and kept trespassing every time I wasn't looking, even though I told them they couldn't. I managed to ambush one and give him a note to tell his boss to come talk to me. He knew enough english to tell his boss that there was a Scary Mad Lady. Heh.

Sunday October 7th

Yesterday I went over to my friend Roxann's place in the midst of the Ozarks. It's gorgeous up there. 3 1/2 hour drive but some of the best scenery there is. We went for a hike on her mountain and here's a picture of her by one of the rocks. There's several more like that. Wow.

Nothing much going on here. General day to day stuff.

Gerald & Jody

I was looking in my files for a photo to post and found this cute one of Gerald and Jody that I took at the farm last month.

Not much going on. I finished painting the floor, from tan to hunter green. Looks much better, goes with the wall color and with the new rugs I got really accents the furniture Mike built. It does show every single doggie paw print though. Inbetween paint coats I've been doing yardwork. Next paint project is the bedroom (indoors) or the window sills and side porch (outdoors).

Haven't seen any more deer - or anything else - lately but it's been full moon so they're probably coming out at night. And there's been siesmic crews swarming everywhere disrupting the habitat. (a huge natural gas field was found in the area - they're drilling all over). Hopefully they'll be out of the neighborhood soon.
