A long busy one as usual... but overall a decent weekend none the less.

And yours was good as well ?

Just a blur as usual, the days slip bye so quickly for some reason.
Enjoying the refreshed view out the window of the open water again.
Heard the Loon calling earlier, the common Mergansers are busy fishing.
The reflections of the treed bluff-life is good.

Flipping the mental coin on trying to decide if tomorrow is a detecting road trip. 63F and sun is inviting.

Have a permission that I got late in the season. 3 sites mapped now. Though on the 1.5 mile stretch there's 20 more sites (homesteads no longer there)
So there's lots of places, to play. Just need a couple more door knocks. 3 hrs of driving time round trip.
Probably have to go, as it's renting space up there.🤣

Good morning pirates!

Sweet looking toy, RTR.
ARC, you were missed. Bloody pirates were facetious while unsupervised and drank your rum.

Pepperj, I hate the space renter! Been gnawing for weeks now and today I am picking up #3 & #4 grandsons to keep for spring break. Plus we have rain coming. Argh! I did ask for their metal detecting trucks. Hopefully, it won’t take but batteries to get them going and maybe I will have a chance to teach them to dig nails.

If I don't get off my arse and make these mosaics, all I have is a tub full of glass chips and potsherds. I made a black walnut frame/mold for this one.....first couple I made have primitive frames, so I made a nice one for this piece. I put nice frames on all the pieces I sell, but all the ones I have are ones I wouldn't sell because of the primitive frames. I've had more requests for these from friends and relatives than I ever imagined, and I enjoy making them.....and I have a reason to pick up these random chips and shards now and get excited when I find them treasure hunting/digging !!

Very nice, and creative Bart
BTW Good morning

Well I fell down the rabbit hole of mapping this am.
Came across an earlier version of the area that had looked at 1862.
Seems there was more on the 1852 version for different homesteads with different owners.
Sort of a plus/minus thing early Victorian/mid/later.
Managed to find enough references to help me figure out that there's more to explore.
The coil will tell the truth about what is happening.
Out of 30 homesteads only 5 homes remain.

Good afternoon, Bart, releventchair and traveller.

Well, it’s time to pick up the boys. Don’t be surprised if you don’t hear from me often this week.

Enjoy them while you can, milady.

Mayhaps! You'll have better luck than I.

Alone I grew,alone I am now.
Uncertain as to exactly how.
Ten grandkids, and as yet.
4 G-grands now, none met.
They all seem healthy/free.
Conclusion? Must be me.

Have fun!
