The Sunday Stills Challenge this week is the letter W.
Woodpecker..a Downy Woodpecker.
A Whitetail Deer.
Wildfire 20 miles east and south of us. 12 homes were lost and 7,500 acres of land were burned Tuesday and Wednesday..
Weather Vane and Weather moving in..we got some much needed rain last night.
Have a good week everyone:)
The Sunday Stills Challenge this week is white.
The museum has some interesting white things. See if you can guess what they are?
Number one.
Number two.
Number three.
Stumped?
This is my photo from last week..an emergency vehicle..a Sheriff’s car. It is mostly white too.
Number one is a fancy pair of evening gloves with seed beads.
Number two is a crochet purse.
Number three is a fancy hat from the 1940’s.
Have a great week everyone. There was snow in the air this morning if it had stayed white on the ground I would have taken a photo for you:)
The Sunday Stills Challenge this week was flowers and wildflowers. There is nothing blooming yet here in Minnesota.
The Pussy Willows popped out yesterday. We still have snow on the ground and the lakes are still frozen.
It has been a long winter here in Minnesota.
Here are some photos from my archives.
Bee on Liatris.
White Lady Slipper, I hope this patch blooms this year..it has been several years since they have been allowed to bloom. The Deer eat off the buds just as they are forming..they must be tasty.
Hydrangea one my favorite flowers.
These Yellow Lady Slippers bloom along our back driveway in mid June.
Yesterday and the day before we finally made it over 50 degrees. It will be awhile before much of anything blooms in Minnesota. The farmers are not able to get into the fields yet..they are covered in snow.
Here are two catch up photos from last weeks challenge which was something hot.
The fireplace.
A power pole nearby.
I go back to work this week. I am not sure how busy and or tired I will be, so I don’t know if I will be able to keep up with the challenges..but I will try my best :)
The Sunday Stills Challenge this week was Hand Tools.
These are some of my hand tools.
These are some of my favorite wood carving knives. My old standby a Palmer, a Mike Shipley, and the other two were made by my husband. I help him form the walnut handles so they feel real nice in your hand. Making knife handles is an art..as is making knives. I make birch bark sheathes for all my knives. ( That is my favorite knife under that sheath..it has a busted tip and needs to be reshaped and sharpened.)
I like to carve little houses/churches/buildings out of Cottonwood bark..the thicker the better. Underneath the knives is my carving glove, I wear it on my left hand, and I wear vet wrap on my right thumb..just in case. I belong to a wood carving group, we meet once a week and carve. Have a good week everyone! I put up the last two challenges Easter and Trains..I wanted to catch up! :)
This is my catch up post for Sunday Stills Challenge Trains.
These are some of my best train shots!
Trains..my husband collects them… we go to as many train shows/sales as we can:)
The Sunday Stills challenge this week is green. I suppose some of you have green grass or green buds..not so much in Minnesota.
Here is the green at my house.
The roof is green steel..the snow slides off.
The sauna is painted green.
Chance posed by the green grate in the walkway. Our soil is sandy..the grate catches some of the sand.
This is the last defense against the sand. Just so you know Border Collies always wipe their feet off on the grate before they run willy nilly into the house. Have a great week everyone:)
