  • HERBY HANCOCK!

    Today two of my college freinds Sandra and Samira helped me make a scarecrow. Our friend Martin named it Herby Hancock. It took us about an hour and a half. We had alot of fun, it turned out quite interesting. My Dad's reaction was, "That's my Hat!". Herby weighs alot and stands taller then the rest of us.

  • Snow? In October?

     acorn joe and a winter day 012

    Today when I woke up and checked the weather they were calling for up to 3 inches. An hr later it was 12-20 inches. All morning it was slush that we were getting as the temperature dropped from 40 degrees to 30 degrees in the matter of a couple hours. After one O'clock it got serious, by three  we had more then 3 inches. It hasn't stopped since. We have almost a foot. The wind is driving it into deep drifts and visibility is bad. But what do I care. I love the snow. I have thrown several snow balls and made two snowmen. My last class was cancelled so I got home early. Here I sit eating a warm supper, all dry, posting. I pray that God brings all the students here safe to their rooms. On a lighter note, her is 놓치다   에버그린  눈사람, (miss evergreen snowman) and pictures of M'ville covered with snow.

  • Acorn Joe.

    I painted this guy for a young friend of mine. He is a Red Socks fan. He gave me the idea a few weeks ago when I was over at his house baby-sitting.

  • A truly autumn leaf.

    Walking through M'ville you see alot of leaves. All colors, shapes and sizes. Some are nice, others are old and brown. I found this one as I walked to math. I thought that not only did it look nice, but it also could fold into different shape. I saved it, but forgot to press it so it is turning brown, rapidly.
