I finally found it again! The Keltenschanze

After searching for who knows how long, I finally found the little trail
You have to duck through the trees
Then you have to ride the very rough road through the fields

This is the way I came from
After a nice little steep hill, you come to the bench and the sign

I pushed my bike up around the sign, to the left, and eventually came to the
mounts.  I did climb up top because I was there.  There is a little dirt trail the
whole way around the mounts.

It doesn't really look like much, I have to admit.  You can make out
the mounts that form a big square though.

After walking around, I rode back the way I came.
Maybe now, I won't forget how to get here!

A Hot Summer Day - my park at its finest


What is left of my tadpoles



Butterfly Way, as I call this trail






Signs of the big Storm in April are still everywhere

can you say "sneeze"?

Dad...check out the huge weeds behind my bike!

Biding Time Bookmarks

Yup....it's that time again.  The time before vacation when I don't want to start a big project but I still have time to stitch.  The "biding time" time.  So...I make bookmarks!  I use up left-over fabric and thread and just have fun leisurely sewing, biding time until vacaction.



























Ok, maybe I had alot of "biding time" because I sure have made alot of bookmarks. And I still have 7 evenings to sew! My goal is to take some with me and give them to the people we meet that make an impression. I don't want to come back with any. This project isn't as cool as Susan's "Telephone message" but you can't really play that game with just one person. I hope to spread my bookmarks around out West!

First Walk Around in the Little Gardens! It's Spring!!!

It seems these bees were on cinder blocks.  Don't ask...I don't know

Everything is so nice and neat 



Mom...I missed you!!



Again....Mom, I missed you!!

Collected wood after the hurricane??

Indian Pillows

Here they are!  My Indian Pillows.  

The patterns are simple which seems to be fitting. I sewed directly onto
the pillow cases even though the fabric isn't really for stitching.

Here are two Yeis.  I really like Yeis (remember my Hardanger Yeis?)

Once again, you have to look sideways because I don't know
how to turn the picture.  But these guys are very cool...and the
critters below are neat as well.

So now, I need to throw away the old, flatten deco pillows and
use these.  I am an avid fan of using hand-made items.
