More houses from Attica

This is a turning the corner shot...I was pleasantly surprised with it being as good as it is.
We did go on down the block and stopped and I walked back and took these photos...
After taking a few of the house below. I think it looks like something from the North Pole with those steep, steep roofs.
Look at that trim, and if you don't enlarge any of them, enlarge this one and look at the door, I don't know if that was an old style of door or if it is one that has been made by a craftsman. I suggest enlarging all of them to see better, though.

Today has been one of those days around here. We have been talking about having a new furnace put in here...so Roger called today. The guy came out and they are coming back tomorrow to put it in. They should be able to do it in one day. We both feel relief at having made the decision.

The guy from the heating/air conditioning place had no more than got gone when I noticed that our phone was not working. I got busy and called the phone company, and they told me it should be repaired by 6:00 p.m. tomorrow. Again we were pleasantly surprised...it was fixed within an hour or two.

Tonight I have spent most of the evening working on finding all the pictures of Roger's knives...and making resized copies and putting them in a folder all their own.

I still need to go down and get my quilt folded and put away till nothing happens to it tomorrow...I went down earlier to do it, but started quilting on it again. I have hardly touched it since the day I started quilting it, but did feel like I was getting 'in the zone' this afternoon.

Yesterday and today

Yesterday we saw some beautiful homes...this one looks like it came from a fairytale almost...I will post another view or two on my other blog, Time Stand Still here shortly.

But first, a few snapshots of the Lorelei today...
in the above view our neighbor was walking over from across the street. She has met him two or three times...he is a big guy with a booming voice and she has been shy of him before, but today she had a big smile on her face. She didn't offer to go to him or anything, but he didn't keep her from doing what she wanted.
I thought you might want to see how totally absorbed she can be with sticks.
Her dad was talking to her and getting all these grins out of her...it was hard to limit the photos to just five.
Even in the photo below, she still has a small piece of stick in her hands.
Can't you just see the gleam in her eyes!

Spring has sprung

Yesterday was just a gorgeous, beautiful day...one that just called for a drive.We went back north again, to Williamsport, a little town we always drove through on the way to Purdue. Williamsport is the county seat of Warren County, and this is a drive by shot of the courthouse.
We also drove on north to Attica, where these flowering trees were taken. I told Roger I would like to go and park and just walk the neighborhoods and take pictures.
In the coming week I hope to show some of the house shots I took. But for right now the toot toot is here, so I am going to go play with her.
