| This is a humongous puddingstone we found 2001 and shlepped home, and almost died getting into place... 300lb + we carried it over a rock bar exposed by water, in the little boat, and to our island ...no mean feat! It has a good representation of many colored jaspers and quartz...a real gem quality stone!! |
 |
| We collected several in 200l and placed them at the foot of the porch stairs... Tippy is looking on to the assembled stones and the big one is on the left. Ultimately we collected about 10 which were smaller, and placed in the grouping. |
 |
| This is mrsdoubtfyre's new boat, and our old boat on the right...we carried the rocks in the small one in 2001. My new boat is hopefully going to allow me more independence in the future.... and will allow us more flexibility in transporting >>>> stuff. The puddingstone was collected off to the left on a stone outcropping exposed by the low water 2001 about 1/2mile into the open water. |

| This is the interior of our cabin... fireplace fixed by me in 2000, and my art corner to the right. |
| This is my son demonstrating what can happen if you don't watch your step on the dock!! >wink< >very wet< |

| This is my 1935 kitchen complete with hand pump, with Sheba our eldest cat thinking deep thoughts. This kitchen was designed by a man, and is very small-- comparable to a trailer size kitchen today. See the hand pump (still available from the Amish catalog) and the scrap baggie in the right foreground which compares to a garbage disposal--natural. The sink is a long trough type, antique now. |
| This is my first garden attempt, 2000, using seeds from Martha Stewart I bought at a Kmart. This season it is the 3rd bloom. This summer 2002 the deer who I do love dearly, managed to eat this patch twice.... delaying the bloom into late Aug-Sept. It took every trick in my book to get them back, but I did it!! Our old dock is to the upper left where we sit and have breakfast/lunch or dinner and enjoy the weather. I like having my flowers there too. But to get them to this stage requires great effort and care! |
