Stone Firewall




Here are the shots before the installation of our wood stove. And here is Jeff installing the pipe. He also used my fossils to fill in the gaps in the stone wall.

Firewall Finished



Just in time for winter, Jeff, our contractor, finished installing our stone wall and wood stove. The Jotul stoves weighs a ton and needed two people to move it onto the hearth. Jeff did a fantastic job using the cultured stones and real cedar shelves. We have a small fire going to break in the wood stove. Life is good.

The Snack Tree



Our new flock of your ducklings ventured out into the lawn to eat. They all took turns eating the seeds off the crepe myrtle trees. These are hard and dry seed heads but they seem to like them. Then they were all chased off the tree by the guineas.

Haunted Mill Spooks



Here are three of our volunteer spooks over at the Summersville Mill Spooktacular.
We all take turns scaring our victims in the Mill now until Halloween every Friday and Saturday night. Stop by if you dare.

Battle Carpet



Here is my husband and all our cats on the battle carpet. When you sit on this rug the cats come to play or battle you. The kitten, Coco, is in his lap watching the herd go by. Coco is safe by sitting in his lap. The rest of the cats move on to where the sunbeams land on the floor. No battle took place as it was too cold in the house. Sunbeams won over carpet fighting.

House Reforming



Here are shots of my neighbors rental house restoration. New bathroom, drywall, basement work and more have been done on this house. I am amazed the progress being made inside the house and on the property. The kitchen is gutted and can begin new after the drywall dries. This has been a lot of work for him.
