Pentoga Road
I'm writing tonight as Monday morning will be an early one. Jambo called today and asked if I was ready to install the Dutch door he made for the garden house.
I'm picking him up first thing in the morning and we'll go hinge shopping. After, the door will be installed.
Excited? I can hardly wait. As I've said before, anything that Jambo makes is a work of art. The door is no exception.
After my Sunday morning walk, I began work trimming the large west window on the garden house. The window is actually comprised of four of our old living room windows and the idea of using them sounded good last summer. In all practicality, I'm not so sure. Trimming the four has proven to be a real challenge.
Sargie and I took an afternoon drive north of Iron River. Driving past the old prison camp that has long been closed, we were surprised to see a "For Sale" sign in front.
We spent some time trying to think of who might want to purchase it. Bars on the windows and multiple secure rooms galore, it was difficult to think of any use for the old prison.
Back home, Sargie began painting the last side of the house around the deck. I later joined her and together, we finished that area. Next comes the rear living room wall.
Hot and tired, we walked to the garden where, hot and sweaty, I took a quick dip in the pond.
Sargie and I talked for some time. I tread water as she sat a few feet away on the garden bench.
Today's random photo is of a robin's nest that was removed from the barn.
I've been chasing the robin for several days and hoped she wouldn't nest inside. Obviously, the girl had other ideas.
Jambo and I are going to install the Dutch door on the garden house in the morning. No doubt Sargie and I will be painting in the afternoon once the back of the house is in the shade.
Otherwise, maybe we'll go water skiing, bake a cake, or invent perpetual motion. Who knows?
After all, a man's work is never done.
So are the tales from Pentoga Road...
