Things are moving quickly in the Barn Mahal.

After waiting a month and a half for construction to start…

.

.

Our rarely seen contractor is really picking up the pace.  I’m starting to think he might be an elf, as we never actually catch him working.

.

.

All the facing boards and bottom moulding are in place…

.

.

And it won’t be long before we’re bellying up for our inaugural beverage. Ironically right after we discovered the new updates a friend and his son showed up to check the progress.

.

.

They hadn’t been here in months and were shocked at the transformation.

.

.

Darts were played.

.

.

Beer was imbibed.

.

.

And shock was expressed that still live rounds were prominently displayed.

🤣

Because I had to.

As I was cruising Amazon for a calendar the other day, I realized there was only one choice.

Oh, I could have picked one with barns. Lord knows we’ve spent enough time and money on ours.

Or I could have picked one with white tailed deer. But we have plenty of those in the backyard.

And I could have picked one about beer. But the man cave has one of those already.

So what did I choose?

.

.

Yes.

Not 12 months of red squirrels… but a full 18.

.

.

Seeing all the trouble she’s caused us in the past year?

It seemed highly appropriate.

I should have known it was coming.

He already bought the big screen tv.

.

.

And the microwave and the coffee maker.

.

.

He bought the full size refrigerator and is building a bar.

.

.

So is it any surprise he made me go shopping for a mini beverage fridge to put behind that bar the other day?

No. It is not.

.

.

Things got quickly out of hand when he was looking at these….

.

.

At $1,200 per unit.

.

.

But I managed to reign him in and only come home with the one on the left… which, while not a total victory? Was still something to celebrate.

Photo Ark… The Finale.

Yes, these are the last photos I’ll post from this truly wonderful book.

.

.

Malay Tapir

But look at that face! I couldn’t help myself.

.

.

Sulawesi Stripe-faced Fruit Bat

I’m so very glad Joel Sartore followed his dream.

.

.

Victoria Crowned Pigeon

The wonderful and wacky diversity of nature should be celebrated as well as protected.

.

.

Watusi Cow

So that’s where the Watusi dance craze came from…. who knew?

.

.

Varied Capuchin

I think we’ve all been there.

.

.

Spix’s Macaw

Sadly, this lovely bird no longer exists in the wild.

.

.

Florida Panther

And this graceful cat is hanging on by a thread.

We share our world with some fabulous creatures… please respect them and their need for a small corner of it.

Most excellent!

It looks like Mayor Pete might be my husband’s new boss.

.

.

While we liked Pete during the primaries, it’s for another reason entirely that I’ll be squealing with glee if his nomination is approved.

Yes, ladies and gentlemen… (and everyone in between) his name?

.

.

His name directly translates as father of chickens.

.

.

And that must be celebrated.

Casual Friday at the Federal Aviation Administration could look like this in the near future:

.

.

And that’s a beautiful thing.

Back in the Barn Mahal…

It was recently brought to my attention that our barn was in need of comfortable seating in which to kick back after a vigorous session of drinking. And to that I say…

I’m way ahead of you.

.

.

Okay, so it’s actually just the porch furniture we store inside every winter… but I’m thinking come spring, when it heads back outside? Two leather club chairs with a small table in between.

.

.

Husband hung a few appropriate signs behind the (soon to be bar) the other day.

.

.

Armpit lemon? Remind me not to over indulge in Puerto Rico.

.

.

A  no sewing required  spot was found for the husband’s assorted patches.

.

.

And a few more photos were carefully hung… while standing on a safe.

.

.

As you can see, I have arrived … and finally been given representation in the man cave.

Yay me.

.

.

A magnetic bottle opener was installed on the staircase.

.

.

And a recent antique store purchase was displayed.

It’s time for Name That Crap!

What is it?

(Kerry, you be quiet. 😉)

Remember the tree house our neighbors built?

The one right at the edge of their property line… even though they own 20 acres down to the water?

.

The one I was glad was nestled behind a few trees with leafy camouflage?

.

Well, there’s my husband cutting down each and every single branch that provided relief from prying little eyes.

Not one damn bit.

I’m getting so much spam right now I rarely read it like I used to. But as I was hitting the delete button today? This one made me laugh.

Monument Creek Vista and hermit reunions.

 

The very next time I read a blog, Hopefully it won’t disappoint me as much as this particular one. After all, Yes, it was my choice to read, nonetheless I really believed you would have something helpful to say. All I hear is a bunch of complaining about something that you could possibly fix if you were not too busy seeking attention.

Well, that was uncalled for… not to mention downright rude. And on a perfectly respectable post about our visit to the Grand Canyon no less. I mean really, who doesn’t enjoy a nice hermit reunion?

There’s just no pleasing some people.
