- Running across the left-hand side of the back yard.
- They’re easier to see at this angle.
- These are my first two, upright logs. I’m using the shorter pieces, first. They are heavy, even at this size (well, heavy for me). The larger pieces will need a chain saw’s help.
This large log is inside our small shed. I’m not sure exactly why it got put in here. I think there’s a part of a limb on the back side, and I guess it’ll have to be trimmed off or maybe several inches will need to be cut off from the bottom of the quite large limb. It was a very large tree.
I am so glad to report that I have finally finished this book. The young woman that I first met in the beginning pages, has ran away, and didn’t reappear until the next to last page of the book. The two primary calligraphers have been angry with each other for pages and chapters, until one of them murdered the other one, and then went to prison. And I never learned the secret. Until the very last page of the book. And it was a very satisfactory ending.
Here are the open pages the above book and a couple of other library books I’ve recently checked out. I looked and those other books had more pages. But then, when I compared the size of the type and the white space on the various pages, I felt relieved. I think the eye strain from the small print and so closely spaced words and lines is going to be very much less, as I begin reading these books.
And here are the books I checked out from the library in the past couple of days. Two for me, and the rest for a girl I’m reading with at the elementary school where volunteers from my church go to read with kids at lunchtime. She seems to particularly ford of Pete the Cat. I like the Pigeon. We might need to take turns.
This is a Penny Plant. There was a nice spread, in a Sunday paper a couple of weeks ago, about interesting plants. I thought this one was charming.
The paper’s article said that they could be ordered and would be mailed.
I ordered one. It came, pretty quickly, in a plastic container, all wrapped in wet paper towels, and then in plastic.
It was in fine shape. I repotted it. I hope it lives.
