Building Fence

When you have livestock you need a fence.  We are waiting on harvest a few days as we need the fence built  when the fence guy can work us in.  He is Tom Hendrix out of Hendrick County  great fence builder.

On this hill stands the little house in the last picture.  Another Blog

GOD

Why would I start with this word.  Today I was Blind Sided by an Election for the Board of Directors for the REMC.  I have been an director for 12 years was opposed by a gentleman who had work at Duke Energy for 30 years.  I am sure he will do a good job. I will miss all the employees at the coop.
I feel it is time for me to move to another  chapter in my life.   I am not sure what God wants me to do next but I am listening.

Next week I have 2 sisters coming in town from the west coast for my Granddaughter wedding.  We are all excited as it has been awhile since we had a wedding in this family.

My Dog  Zeus is doing very well  I am still loving him.  I will see what it would take to get him certified to  visit Nursing Homes.   He loves all people. 

Thanks for following me on Facebook

Well  I never know how my pictures will load  I don't have control over  a lot of things sometimes I wish I could.    These 2 animals are my donation to Indy Decorative Artist annual quilt.   These are painted on 12 inch squares of fabric.    Don't know if they will be picked but hope at least one will make the cut. Our quilt will be animals of Africa. It will be in 2012 State Fair Home and Family Arts  Bldg.  you may win this quilt.

 I was cleaning out my garage and trying to organize my mess  I picked up gourds that I wasn't going to paint and drilled holes for the birds  Hung them there is about 10 new birdhouses.

This is a pile of last years gourds that I need to get cleaned

well used maybe one of the birds will recycle the insides

Here is my little friend not a good picture but this was Sunday  He should be on his way south I even put out more sugar water for the ones that come by on their way south  I saw a few today.

 

 

  

Sorry I haven't posted more often for all the friends that are  reading  this but life happens.     My new dog is doing real well.  I forgot how big their feet can be on my back door.   I have the DogWatch guys coming on Monday and we are going to fix my underground fence  I afraid he will wander to far with no boundary lines.  Enjoy this weather  I can say we are getting a soft rain hope it continues through the night.
Take care

Our 100 Year Old Tree

This is our tree that died.  It has been going down hill for 30 years.  My late Father in Law would tell me how it was dying .  This year it is brown where there were pine needles  Hated to give it up . When the tree was in good growth the birds would have as many as 30 nests in that tree.   The power lines were on one side and our house was on the other.

A picture of my new 4-legged guy.  He weighs at about 140 pounds.   Very loving animal.
I am uneasy since tonight is the first night that he has sleep outside.  He is in a large pen and has 2 dog houses to choose from.   The older house has a back window  and the other one is 4 feet by 8 feet.  He has been in my Studio at night since we brought him home..  I am working on getting the underground fence working. After we buried my female the fence quite.  We will try and find the break or just put in a new wire.   It worked well for my other 2 dogs so I am sure he will like to have room to run.
I look forward to spending time with him.
I am loving this weather  sure hope for some of the rain that is coming our way, it evaporates before it hits the ground.
