Happy Thanksgiving 150/365 Mon Oct 11

Dave spent Thanksgiving building a new fence. There was nothing wrong with old wire and pallets, but this looks much nicer. The gates will come later. I took the opportunity and started a new flower bed to plant the Red Hot Pokers that my sister gave me.

Open sesame 142/365 Sat Oct 2

Fading Away 141/365 Fri Oct 1

Fall in the Air 137/365 Tues Sep 28

Pickers in the field.

Super rat trap 136/365 Mon Sep 27

We have chickens who eat grain, so we have rats who also like to eat grain. Dave built a wire box that slides inside the chicken pen with 4 rat traps on it. The theory is that the rats think the door is open and they can get at the grain, but instead......snap! He has caught 3 so far. Two rats went in as a team after their single friend did not return. They went in together and did not come out.

Soltrekker 135/365 Sun Sep 26

We went to an rv show today. This is Soltrecker. Their mission is to spread awareness of sustainablity of sustainability through green building practices, renewable energy and efficient design....that, plus creating a really cool rv.

This is the second week of classes and I am doing a lesson on telephones today. The phones in the picture are my props. I'm starting with the history of phones and then moving to problems using the phone.
