My Bonsai guard, she is a little heavier than the pic in my avatar, but sitting down makes her look really fat. She is one of the nicest and friendliest dogs I have ever owned, but if you are a thief looking to take trees, not a wise choice, lol.

Yesterday a full day of laying 1 1/2” T&G over timber rafters then sprinted around in the woods until 11pm picking, had to beat the weekend crowd. Wasn’t sure that I’d be able to stand up straight today but actually feeling just fine. 580CAD81-5D2B-4E88-91C9-2D17F022FC38.jpeg

We have lots of mud dauber wasps in our garden, the orange ones with back wings. They look mean, but they are pretty tame. These paper wasps are the a$$holes of the yard. I’ve been stung by these and they hurt.

No date this monument was erected but is standing no more :( Pretty cool though, a leading knight was shot trying to cross over a wall.

My dad and grandfather built a processing lab in the 50's on our property. I was there the day the semi delivered the colour developing upgrade and dryer.
We did school pics, weddings, Santa even parachuted in on opening day after Thanksgiving one year. Also did restoration work.
Oddest request was to come to the morgue and take picture of a lady's husband in the casket (3am!!!) and make a picture of him as normal.
Take different sized pictures and collage together as normal, one from a biker (that had died) on his bike, and add it to a picture of his wife
since no pictures of them together could be found. Folks were scared to change from B&W when he pioneered colour into our tri-state area.
He was on bicycle at that time single speed 3:1 ratio Schwinn lots of hills around here, few tornadoes.

Dads 1st camera was a shoe box, with a pin hole for the aperture, and photographic paper taped to the back of the box.
Me, I know very little about cameras and developing except dad saved all his silver byproduct in a trash can on top of the roof...

My uncle’s father was Gen. Patton’s staff dentist during the war. I wonder if that was his trailer?

One of Patton’s last acts before dying in the car crash was to get my Uncle’s father a teaching job for Army dentists at Ft Riley in Kansas. As he got shot in the back while working as a medic on a wounded soldier.

Wuhl aint that cool. Small world aye? Dad was a grunt Private 1st class. Never got shot, prayed a lot as most did I'm sure.
Got home and while we were splitting wood, a piece of shrapnel from a wedge lodged in his stomach when the 12# sledge hit it.
My Hero!
