HODGEPODGE POST

Otherwise known as a group of diverse topics...  or something like that.    Will start off showing you my 'lake back water view' property after several days of rain.  That woods you are looking thru to the farm behind me used to be thick with trees and other brush so you couldn't see the farm.  Sadly Gypsy Moths were responsible for a lot of the tree damage.

Since those big trees weren't there to absorb the rain water this is what happened.  Here's another view and that skim on top is floating pollen.

To the left of the property it goes on and you can see a tip of that tree stump to get an idea (bottom right).

There is more rain in the forecast for the next couple days but thankfully today it was dry enough for me to PUSH the mower and cut Ben's backyard.  The riding mower won't go thru the gate but am hoping my great neighbor can figure out a solution for me when he has time.

After cutting the backyard I started drawing a pattern Cottage and Apple Tree for someone.  Here is the one I hooked.

And this is the antique.  Oh but I adore that antique rug much more than mine....sigh. 

And soon I'll be needing to find my next project as the horse is getting closer to being finished.

Am hoping tonight I sleep better as last night my mind just wouldn't shut off. This is me as an adult thinking about life; can you imagine how our youth is struggling with their limited life skills?  Today most parents are coddling them so they aren't equipped with how to handle life decisions.  

OK, enough of that but am sure you know a little something about that too.       

Not sure what tomorrow will bring as weather but I have a pattern to finish so know what is on my tomorrow schedule.  Happy hooking.
