Finding Beauty Everywhere: October 2006

About Me

Location: Ohio, United States

I'm interested in all living things which means All Things. There is beauty everywhere. We just have to slow down enough to find it...to see it. I believe there is nothing Man can do to match the beauty found in Nature...and not only the beauty. Nature can outdo anything man can think of in the way of destruction too. Man is very small, the works of man are very small. We need to remember this. But Nature never sends its force after anything or anyone out of anger or hatred or desire to conquer or own. Nature has many lessons for us all.

The Carbide Anniversary

Howdy,

Today is Gooserock's and my 24th Anniversary.....the Carbide Anniversary.

What the heck am I talking about you ask?

I asked for a reamer of some sort to make one of my workshop tasks easier, Gooserock ordered it, and it arrived today. He said, "Happy Carbide Anniversary". What a guy!

Isn't it pretty?

Actually, it's been a very sentimental day. It had started out with low cloud cover over the headland across the way and over our white, blue, and red boat. (We really must decide on a name soon.)

Then weather changed to being very similar to the weather 24 years ago, trees changing color, warm sun, light breeze.

We put a second coat of wax on the rub-rail of our boat (the first coat stopped the chalkiness rubbing off). Then we sat in the cockpit and looked down our home street and looked at each other and just enjoyed being together. Later in the day I did a little more planting in my new garden bed. Photos of that coming soon.
