THIS, THAT and the OTHER THING

THIS Blue Bowl of Flowers antique adaptation is finally bound.  The last loop was pulled April 3rd while at rug camp and now finally finished. Well, still needs it's label.

THAT rug on my frame now with the gorgeous overdyed wool purchased from Cindy Irwin isn't nearly done Lauren (Rugs and Pugs), but this is what is looks like this evening.  So desperately wanted to get that small section hooked before posting it but time was running out since I'm overdue for a blog post.

The reason I've been so unproductive is because.... THE OTHER THING has thwarted my progress.  Remember this part of my yard after the double snow storms?  This is how it started out.  For reference focus your eyes on the snow covered leaning log.

Fast forward thru several months.  That leaning tree long is still attached to its trunk and is visible behind the small tree in the foreground.  A little at a time I would lop off pine limbs as many as possible and haul to the back woods.  So today it looks like this, which in the photo looks small ~ UH, it's NOT small. 

Unbeknownst to me, sweet brother dropped by while I was at a doctor appointment and cut up the tree trunks in that ever-so-slowly reducing puzzle arrangement.  This is the other side of the previous view.

I will continue to drag the smaller limbs to the back woods but when the company comes to cut down a few threatening trees in my yard I'll pay them to take away the rest of the bulk.  I just can't carry those heavy long trunks to the back woods.

Keep on going on with whatever floats your boat.  Guess if it wasn't for HAVING to do yard work I'd not get much exercise except for walking to the mailbox.  Today I attempted to cut grass in the back yard since the pond water draining tubes have been removed.  But now am having trouble with my riding mower.  One damn thing after another ~ aint' homeownership grand?
