America The Beautiful

Happy Birthday America.
All the more reason to want to stay, problems to solve. Running never does anyone any good. Nor avoidance, nor denial.
Head on. Hit it with your best shot.

Bird in the trees.

Beautiful skies.

Dreams of things to do with soda pop cans.
  

A Quonset Hut laying in wait of a designers twisty dream.

Pallet idea of ways to build on the budget wise.

More beautiful skies than anyone deserves.

Cute Little Red-Haired Girl to help with work. Sure.
Or go on walks...

To their lovely neighborhood park and home again, giggity gig.

They think they are pretty darned lucky to be born in a country with this many problems to solve while there is still all this beauty, hope and good around.

They just want to keep it simple, and wish everyone else did too.

No animals harmed in the making of this meal.

It wouldn't hurt if everyone became vegan on the way....
Happy Birthday, again, America The Beautiful.

Eeyore walks with his head down...

 

(original Winnie the Pooh toys)

My Aunt finds money on the ground all the time. Like Eeyore, she walks with her head down.

I wasn't walking with my head down, but I was walking Little Red-Haired Girl, and she yanks me back once in awhile so that she can sniff something that smells like a cookie to her.

I let her have that control over me, because it is her time.

Today she yanked me back and I found a giant hex bolt embedded in the dirt next to a phone pole. I decided it was unlikely that the phone company would come back and embed it into the phone pole for a step, it had probably fallen out as one.

So I took it home, along with more of the acorn like things ...

Now I was forced to try to imagine what Donna at Funky Junk Interiors would decide to do with this.

I love finding things like this because you never know when they will come in handy for something...

(Like writing a blog about!)

This hex bolt is 10 3/4 long and 5/8 diameter. About $3.16 ea at Bolt Depot for a zinc plated, grade 2. I think my find is galvanized.
