A little bit of a big project

My sons fixed the upper deck railings on my house yesterday.

I did a lot of watching and some fetching when needed.

These two worked so well together. I’m very proud of them. I guess Bob and I did a good job raising them–and their sisters, too.

Until next time, that’s all there is from Sunnybook Farm.

No ladder needed

When cleaning this gutter I can stand on the deck.

Happy I don’t have to use a ladder.

Picture Perfect women at work

We worked together making cards and other items for people in nursing homes, those in the military, and special needs people.

Quilts are also part of the projects these women make. I’m not as handy with a sewing machine, so I stick to paper projects. I can handle a scissors, a stapler, and a glue stick.

A potluck was held mid-day, which as always, was tasty.

I bowed out a little early as my dog Stella needed to be taken out for her mid-day walk.

Picture Perfect is held yearly, except when the pandemic interfered with the gathering. Hopefully that will never happen again.

Until next time, that’s all there is from Sunnybook Farm.

Yardwork intrigues Stella

Before the heat did me in today, I took out my battery-operated weed whacker and took it around the yard.

During this time, Stella sat, tied under a tree, and watched me work.

During her next time in her dog fence, Stella had to check out my weed whacking work.

I have to keep an eye on Stella. She loves to dig holes in her yard. It’s another fun activity for her, but not for me.

Volunteers working

Today I joined a group of ladies from the Outagamie County Extension Service.

There were multiple work tables being used. I was at a table recycling calendars. After cutting the calendars apart, we slipped the pictures into sleeves, making flip picture books for special needs people.

The above photo shows our work in progress.

This photo shows where small pictures are clipped. Many will be glued to make homemade greeting cards.

It’s good to get out of the house and work on projects like this.

Until next time, that’s all there is from Sunnybook Farm.
