Local Library

I’ve always known that half of the local library looks like a barn – cute, and keeping with the rural roots of the community. I never really questioned the aesthetic. Anya has been volunteering at the library a few days a week this summer. We took a walk around the property checking it all out after her shift one day — yup, half of it looks like a barn. But!

At the corner of the building, they have sculptures. A pig, a mouse, a goose, really realistic corn.

And an archway with a metal “spider web” that says terrific … the entire area is designed after Charlotte’s Web!

 

 

Read Everything

We bought a fabric thing that is 1’x4′ — which seems like it would be the size of the item. It did not fit our one foot by four foot thing … so I measured it and was disappointed to discover it was not quite 4 foot long (it’s about 1/8″ short of one foot as well!). Read through the entire product listing to discover a “dimensions” about eight bullet points down. And it claims it will be 47 3/8″ … pretty much exactly the length I am measuring. So, yeah, read the ten paragraphs of description because sometimes they hide important details in there!

Tech Detox

Anya challenges me, again, not to post tech related “stuff” for 20 days … no snow, ice, or similar items (I guess no rain?). So … umm … rubbish bins? We got a lot of rubbish bins to help with the farm house cleanup project.

Deer invasion!

When we pulled into the driveway today, there were two deer at the edge of our lawn. And then there were three, four, and five deer. Not sure if they started going down the ravine and changed their mind or were coming up when we got home and startled them.
