In spite of all the rain we have had this summer, we have been able to accomplish a few projects and keep the grass mowed and gardens weeded.
Just started on this little project this morning. Should be finished by the time everyone arrives.....
Found a piece of metal work cheap at a shop uptown and thought it would make for a nice addition to my gate.
Oscar found a spot to beat the heat.
If you can't beat the rain, you can beat the stone.
Checkin' to see how much longer she could stand there................
G'ma had surprise visitors from Wheeling a couple of weeks back. On her right is Bob and on her left is June and Shirley. They are her cousins (her mom and their dad were brother and sister). They were all regular visitors to Akron when I was young. Many pleasant memories for me.
I have been trying to do some fun things with the time I have had. This a pair of aluminum "prosthetic antlers" I salvaged this winter from Adam and LeAnna's front yard. Polished them up and mounted them on a plaque. Kind of fun being an old, retired guy in the garage!

Picked this up at the antique shop on Rt. 3 for a good price, probably because its all clear glass. The frame is in good shape as is the lead work. Needed re-glazed and cleaned up. I was going to repaint the frame, but decided to just remove the loose paint and give it a coat of poly.
Morning garden walk-about.

Adam and LeAnna had a bike ride on the towpath planned with Tony and Gina, so he and Oscar made a test ride up and down Broadway.
Finally, I'd like to introduce you to our newest Chemex (No. 4). It will be providing you with your favorite hot beverage during your upcoming visit. Apparently it's predecessor met with it's demise whilst I slept. A note claiming responsibility along with it's wooden grips and leather tie was found on the counter and a few scattered shards of glass on the floor.
I guess four in about 40 years is tolerable.
Whew! Look at that chemex shine! Ours has more of an amber/brown glow to it. Great post. I love the antlers! Can't wait to hear about all the details in person this weekend!
