Time...

I am showing these from the strip pits....
I wanted to show them sometime....
I just had not planned on it being today.
***************
I have just wasted at least an hour on here looking for that little pie chart that shows time spent looking for stuff. Just because of the last few days I have spent oodles of time looking for a pattern, among other stuff. I am talking serious looking time. And I thought it so appropriate.

Then, I realized how much time I was wasting looking for the pie chart. I have used it before and it is somewhere on my blog. So decided to just get to the point and post something...I feel so strange if I don't post a picture of some kind, even if it is unrelated to the post.

It is another pretty day here in west central Indiana...I have a quilt hanging on the line to dry. It is one I keep hanging on a quilt rack, but a certain Bubbie cat goes over and pulls it down, then crawls under it. I usually keep it pinned till he cannot do that, but for some reason had had it off there, and never put the pins back in. It needed washed anyway, so took it down and threw it in the washer and put another little one up there. He has done been over trying to pull it down, but I thought to pin it.

I think I am going to go down and sew some spare blocks I have together and make him his own little quilt. It needs to be big enough for him to crawl under.

Well, I am headed down to sew, hopefully I won't get detoured into looking for something else!

Cox Ford Bridge

This is the Cox Ford Bridge in Parke County, Indiana, built in 1913 by J. A. Britton.
We try to always carry our rods with us...Roger threw his line in but did not have any hits.
This is looking up Sugar Creek...a beautiful place to be.

We used to come here and wade and fish...now there are signs that no swimming or wading is allowed, and inform that violators will be prosecuted.

I am getting ready to hang out clothes! Supposed to be close to 50ยบ F. today...I had to wash my tennis shoes since I had walked along the sandbar and my feet sank above the top of my shoes. So I always wash them with towels...figured it would be a good day to hang the out.

The cats are wanting us to come outside and play and I am not joking. They won't go out alone, but when I went out to wipe down the clothesline, all three came out to see what was happening.

Life at the strip pits

I ran out to the strip pit area night before last to see what I could see....as you can see by the photo below we have had some cold weather.
If I had to title this photo, I would call it Teepees on Ice...just reminded me of an Indian village if I use my imagination.
There were several geese out as the sun started to set...I suppose they were coming in from the fields.
I am not sure if the above will show on your computer...it is very dark at best. So I hit the auto levels button and got the bottom photo...not your greatest photo but it shows the geese better.
I always wonder what they have seen in their travels to get here.

It is supposed to get up in the high 50's today...I am trying to make up my mind if I want to stay home or want to get out and go while the going is good. I actually wish I could do both, cause I really feel like staying home, yet I feel like we should take advantage of the nice weather and get out while the getting it good.
