Huh

Well from the lack of noise today, it seems either the deer are not moving or everyone got what they wanted yesterday.

The sounds of shots in the forest where I walk rang out early yesterday from predawn to about 8am. Then.

Silence.

I played loud music so Charlie couldn't hear the distant shooting waaay off. We can feel the concussion of shots that are within half/quarter of a mile. But that pretty much dropped off by midday.
Sunday on that land is usually pretty quiet as the hunters are mostly hung over and tired from the first day out.

I actually LOVED a day in PJ's [I wear coveralls for chores]. Charlie and I hung out together and had a lazy day of building, 


Figured it out yet?? 😋



Practicing indoor photography, 

Reading,


and listening to music. 

I got the stare from Charlie when some happy and lovely music came on when I broke into a jig and sang along. I'm sure my singing was horrid as was my jig. But I thought. Why not? 

I moved about from one thing to another doing exactly what I felt like doing at any given moment.

Oddly enough, that felt incredibly wonderful. I'd walk into the kitchen to get a drink of water and pause at the Medieval Village and think of a brilliant idea.

It seems that the Ivar and his Barbarians were simply looking for some rooms!


Sadie, who runs the Inn with her husband Mack get busy in the kitchen. Feeding Barbarians can be quite the chore.


Late in the day, just before dusk, a stranger rides into town.

[I don't know about you, but I am sensing a Clint Eastwood sort of theme going on here. 


I keep hearing the theme song to The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly.

And it feels pretty fun. I love it when the toys dictate the story.

  1. And just so you know, Barbarians do not have the best table manners.

  5. That looks like an interesting book. I think you have visual thinking with all the creativity going on!

    1. A retired teacher thought that also so she brought me the book to read. It is very interesting. I'm positive that my father was a visual thinker.

  6. Similar hunting going on around us. A lot of shots heard opening day, now quiet. Perhaps deer figure out what is going on, and there are less.

    1. Yes, but surprisingly mid day we heard a lot of shooting, but it almost sounded like sighting in shooting....that or the deer were firing back!

  7. Hi Val. Really fun photography. I love the shoot mini things too! And LEGOS are sooo fun. So far, I've only done a small LEGO camera and it was such a nice afternoon. They have the big typewriter and the other camera but right now, out of my price range. So fun though.

    I love looking at the LEGOs when I'm at Barnes.

    How's the book?

    Cheers, Ivy.

    1. The book is rather dry but full of information so I can learn about different types of thinking.

      I enjoy the stories I can imagine and create with toys, it was something we did as kids also.
