Honored!

If you've ever created something from scratch and had even one person admire it then you know the good feeling that goes along with that admiration. I'm guessing it's a similar feeling whether your creation is a cake, a piece of furniture, or something spun on a potter's wheel. To put your heart into crafting a thing and have someone say, "I like it" is a feeling everyone should get to enjoy at least every now and then.

I looked at the recent readership stats and was surprised to discover that 81 people viewed "Old and Ridiculous" yesterday. Or maybe one person viewed it 81 times. Either way I consider 81 a very nice compliment. Thanks to everyone or 'the one" for staying tuned. I'll try to do a better job of keeping you posted.

As a note, the fall colors will begin soon here in Northwest Arkansas and Southwest Missouri. I plan to get some good pics as the leaves change and will share some of them here. Also, a group of bats have taken up residency in the west end of the barn. (In the wall at the top of this picture.) They found a piece of roof trim that came loose and Boom they're in. I plan on making some bat houses and hanging them around the barn in hopes of offering them an alternative housing option. Once they've had a chance to find their new home I'll tack the piece of trim back in place. I hope they all make it out beforehand.
I'll keep you posted on this and other bat related activities...
