Old Window
I am transforming this old window into a nice window. It needs a little work on the sides due to an AC being in it. I took the AC out and going to enjoy looking out. This house was built around the turn of the century and has the old sash windows. A lot of the storm windows are long gone and screens as well. I"m going to try to round some up but not sure that can be done. At any rate, they are really neat.. atleast until I can get some new windows bought.

Some Antiques
Here is a picture I took with my cell phone because the batteries are dead in my camera. Its not the best picture but I wanted a picture of the old pie safe on my blog. It was built with square nails so it dates to the 1800's. This Pie Safe was actually found in an old abandoned house and the owner did not want it. It has been in a flood as the top is warped and you can see a water line about midway up. I wish the old thing could talk. What a neat story it would tell us.
The high chair I bought in Panama City, Florida but was told it came from Kentucky. Thats all I know about it. The Buffet came from Sheridan Wyoming and has been a wonderful piece and has such a nice beveled mirror on the back.

September 1st - Frog in pond on hot summer late afternoon
This is a frog that I managed to catch just chillin in mom and dad's pond. He didnt seem to bothered. I think he was just cooling off. This picture was taken about a month ago when the temps were up there in the 100's. Today, is a wonderful 66 so far. A lot of rain in the area here in Kansas but I dont think we are going to get anything. I believe the high today is going to be in the 80's and rain or no rain.. I'll take it. Our tomatoes have been a huge disapointment due to the heat. My peppers have done a little better but still nothing to really brag about. Last year was a much better year for the garden.
