Settling In

Well it's been a while now that The Fuzz has been home from the beach.  And he and His Sweetie are starting to get settled in again.

There was a bit of work waiting for them-

A couple of yards to mow, wood to find and cut and that old car to get moved.

Looks like the next project on The Fuzz's list is getting a new pump put in at the Old Place.

It may be remembered from back in February, that he had discovered a problem with the water over there.

(Well, strictly speaking, not with the water per se, but the delivery system.)
And while it is possible to get water "old school" with a bucket and rope, this is not the preferred method anymore.

So as of now, a new pump is on order from the local Home Improvement Store.

 

And just for fun...

While The Fuzz and His Sweetie were over at the "Gasland" the other day getting some fuel for the mower-

They saw this...

Guess you can get all kinds of gas there.

Day Trip

Being as there was no school this week, due to the Spring Break (with used to be called Easter Vacation) The Fuzz and His Sweetie decided to take the Young Daughter and her boyfriend up to the Relatively Large City for a bit of fun.
On the way they saw these guys, and stopped for a quick pix or two.

Once in the city, the first stop was the Asian Buffet for a not so quick bite.  Then they hit the Thrift Store for some cheap additions to the wardrobe.  The Fuzz found an old toaster-oven* to use over at the Old Place since there is no cookstove there.

The plan called for a session at the $3 movie.  But alas, we were informed that the show had been cancelled due to "technical difficulties".  It seems that the projector had blown up showering glass over the audience and all.  

So... No movie this time.
It was time to head back to the woods and be satisfied with a DVD from Netflix.


*These things are great although they have been largely superseded by those new-finagled microwaves.  Back in The Days, we used these things for everything from broiling a steak to making biscuits!

At the The Old Place

The Fuzz spent the night over at The Old Place.  It was a bit cold weather-wise.  But it is furnished with an impressive wood burner.
Here you can see a bit of smoke wafting up into the blue skies.

And as has been mentioned previously, Spring is now here.  So here's a couple of pix of the Periwinkle out in the yard.

Here in the Woods, he and His Sweetie have been doing a bit of gardening, getting ready for the warm weather to come.
