A couple pictures of the color at sunset after the rains we had yesterday. I love when it does this. It's always almost startling to see it, and there are many variations of light and shadow through the seasons. Boy Duene sure got a couple of good photos yesterday and posted on her blog - especially loved the one with the horses and Wind Rivers in the background. Check out hers.
Well, I didn't go to town today as I should have to get the pump taken off. Fifteen minutes before time for the luncheon, I was still sitting here in my pjs and was very tired and sleepy, so I fixed some lunch here and laid back down for a nap. Was probably best not to drive that way as well. I'll go in tomorrow. I'll take four small new paintings to be framed, a small but positive accomplishment. If I can stick to it I will try to get some of the commissions done in the next several weeks.
The picture of the gate shows the new top pole in place. You can see it is smaller than usual, but luckily for getting it up he didn't bring the heavy one home. The purpose is to stabilize the upright posts. To do this he had to lift the pole with the tractor bucket and get up the ladder to fasten it to the posts. Thankfully I was gone on Tuesday when he did this and I didn't have to watch. But by gosh he does it!!
Here are some pictures of Joe's work and chores. I wish he wouldn't do these things anymore but he does them anyway. On the roof he is at least tied to a rope that is fastened to the fence on the other side of the house, so he has some safety from falling off. He is putting the new pipe cap on the furnace vent pipe. Hopefully that will keep some moisture out of a tiny line in the furnace that gets condensation and freezes up in really cold weather. That keeps the furnace from coming on on the coldest nights - so not a good thing to happen. He has a light bulb burning next to the little tube to keep it from freezing now. And the cap will also help.
