Rerouting a local road uncovers an old barn. Its so old it can barely hold itself up and I’m surprised it’s bones don’t show. Even if it could tell tales it probably woodn’t.

This is the second one of these I’ve seen on the Long Leaf Trace in a week. However, this rattler was at least 4 feet long and well fed. He is not dead and we did not kill him.

I feel the urge to piddle

I’ve been thinking more about gardening lately and wanting to get back to yard piddling. With fall coming it is my time for maintenance activities and planning in preparation for the spring. I have my eye on a couple of ebooks, “24 Historic Styles of Garden Design” and “The Principles of Garden Design”. The first because I’m thinking about trying some radically different ideas, well, just different to start with.

it is the tree with the pots around it.

For example: I’ve already discussed with Jeanne the cutting down of a pecan tree in the back to create a raised vegetable (or flower) bed. There is already a slightly raised brick-surround that might do as is. In any event, these ebooks, and possibly others, will be free for downloading in October from GardenVisit.

Thanks to Sarah for thinking I would be interested and, similarly, I thought you might. I plan to check their site in October for some fall reading, if I can wait. Even when not free the prices are very affordable. I receive no compensation for these comments and they are purely my own

There’s been a lot of rain this year, in some cases all at once. People in Zenia, Ohio, and on the Gulf Coast had more than their share. This was a school yard in Zenia that we rode by during the Midwest Recumbent TOT (Trike Optional Tour, i.e. A Trike Only Tour that allows other type bikes). I hope everyone brought their waders.
