A Sunday arts and crafts day

A "chill" Sunday was the perfect day to get those bird houses painted as well as create the "to" signs for the back yard (reminiscent of the sign post on MASH). I spent the day taking out old fence posts.

Here the two creative minds of the operation

The first of the "to" signs for the sign post. Other signs will include: San Francisco, Zhangye Gansu, Fort Collins, Windham NH and Moab UT. Images will come later.

Across the country

The last 3 weeks were spent driving to New England and back again. I can't say it enough...this is a big country!
