Willem is very organized. He has been working on burning the burnable stuff that is by the side of the house. He isn't going to burn the stuff that is painted, but he has a lot of wood to burn ( Read more... )

Willem and I went for a walk to the pond. It was quite cold outside, -20C or about 0F today. I love the sound of the snow how it squeaks when you step on it ( Read more... )

We just had the most wonderful time with the Evans from Arizona. They were sure inspired by how nice the tipi was with the campfire. Today is their play day, so they had to hurry home, but not till they'd overstayed their hour limit ( Read more... )

I woke up having a wonderful idea about how to use up all the wood that is lying around Lane TP and the greenhouse. I realized I had a table we could use down by Willem's garden.

I also found a picture of an old cabin home with someone spinning at a great Walking Wheel. I also brought home a working VCR so I can watch the videos of when the children were little and film them ( Read more... )

I enjoyed Abe's campfire in the lane tipi, formerly the crystal palace, for awhile, went over to Alida's where I filmed Desmond sleeping, then drove Abe back to Ottawa. I made an appointment at the Apple Store at Bayshore. it was very crowded and I was more than five minutes late because of traffic, but they took me anyway ( Read more... )

Abe got the fire going this morning when he got up. He has been making great campfires lately. I picked him up in Ottawa on Sunday. We came home and he got the fire going while I worked with Matt and Ginny a bit, hovering mostly ( Read more... )
