Getting some of the more unique visitors

Julie’s feeders attract a lot of neighborhood birds.  Some are more rare than others and also come and go really quickly.  The chickadees are one of those we see less and are only there for a few seconds.  I was happy when they were frequenting it a few days again and I got these shots.

Trying one more thing…

Soaking my old watch movement and then lubing it to see if I can get it running better?  You can’t buy service parts for it… I’m not holding out much hope… hmmmm. Maybe I can find a used movement somewhere.  I am learning about maintanence, repair, assembly, etc.  That’s pretty fun in the meantime.  

Their our team we feel the most at home with

It’s as close as we get to a “hometown” team these days.  Andy they have great fan engagement.  Bonus, their opening ceremony is really cool too.

Hockey season is back on, officially

Once the home opener for the Cyclones starts, it feels like Hockey season is back on for real :)

This fall’s colors have been super pretty

This was the view as I was walking past the neighbors house on the way home from Laura Marie Drive.

We found these nail tools years ago…

We got some glass nail files and cuticle pushers from the sauerkraut festival a few years ago.  They’ve turned out to be really nice.  I think they look cool too and I was messing around taking pictures of them. I recently found the vendor on Facebook and ordered a few more. :)

Trying something different.

We got some Ohio State Buckeye hockey tickets to see what a college game is like.  We get to see them vs. Michigan!

Luckily I can phone a friend…

I called Andy to get his opinion.  A defective breaker valve. Luckily, we found a replacement hose bib at Lowe’s that we could take apart.  I used the spare parts to fix this leaking one at my mom’s.

Buzzard takes flight

I guess we interrupted these guys soaking up some rays. I like catching their wings during liftoff.

Laura and I both enjoyed the sun peeking through trees!

Caesar’s creek calm

Last week I was hiking the trails there and enjoyed the fall colors starting to show :)
