Out and about, from Sunday




The beginning of the new fence project. This is the first building, several weeks before they get to mine. So they replaced mellow old wood with this glaring white and sort of beige, solid panels, thin, ledges too narrow for putting pots on, material impossible to attach anything to.

If you're getting the impression I'm not impressed, you're right. Those solid panels are likely to be blown down in the kind of winds we get. Squirrels eat this material quite happily.  The color is a bit far from the dark shade to blend with the windows that we were hoping for.  Oh well.

Further along, nature's comment.


 A landed turkey vulture. They're enormous seen on the ground. Right near the new fence. Wonder if it's a message.

But I was cheered by this whimsical little garden on the way home




So there's hope! Cooking for handsome son's birthday dinner ensued. No, not the turkey vulture, chicken.

  1. I, too, despise that composite fencing. They make "picket fences" from it, that are so glaringly fake they ruin the looks of the 19th century home the fence encloses!

    1. The color of these screams at the different light color of the stucco, and is just horrible against the dark trim. The idea of being stuck looking out at it all winter, solid sheets of compo, is depressing. Not that I have any strong feelings about it..

  2. No. I would not be happy with those fences either. Not at all.

  3. No, I didn't notice that you had any feelings about that fence at all. You're right though - it IS rather ugly. And what kind of air flow will circulate through those? Idiocy reigns supreme these days it seems.
    Maybe you should create a little miniature garden, if only for the zen qualities.

    1. That's an idea. I'm thinking of a sand one, which I can put pebbles in as a design. Couldn't do that with cats in residence. They'd have thought it was a deluxe bathroom for them.
