Faces

November 13, 2021 Family

An old man (that’d be me, BTW), his son, and their gray cat. Never gets inside, that one. Too quick with his claws. We don’t know where he came from – works this property day and night.

No More Facebook for Me

March 4, 2021 Family

I quit facebook a couple weeks ago. Triggered by FB banning me for 7 days for swearing. (Fuck facebook, eh?) No warning. Just a ban. For something I’d done before, without any issue. So – that told me it wasn’t really my FB page at all – it was FB’s. Also – the friends. They aren’t really friends. And the judging – all that liking, and disliking. Passing my judgements on others … through with that too. Whew that!!!! FBRead More

Winter Spring Pond Diary

May 23, 2017 Family, Nature, Trapping

Snow Dogs

One cold winter’s day, down by the pond … Not far from the hammock … Two labs were making their way through the snow … When one stopped for a snack … And although Charlie eventually ran some circles round Miles, Miles still had the last word …

A Table Saw, Some Memories

November 20, 2016 Family

Bought a new table saw this year – for the safety features.  And retired my dad’s old Delta Homecraft, pictured above (no safety features).  I still have it, tucked away under the basement stairs now … because I cannot part with it. He did so much, with that saw.  I was witness to almost all of it. Looking at the Delta – all cast iron and steel.  Still cuts as true as ever.  Just a tad unsafe to use, by today’s standards.Read More
