Yesterday, Indiana had a day of awful weather with tornadoes ripping through the state causing lots of damage and the loss of one life. Although I thought it was going to get dicey when the hail started pelting, that was as bad as it got here at Barndo Creek. Once the...
I took the photo below a few evenings ago. Later, I read that evening's sky in particular was the subject for many others to capture. Not only does this image capture the crescent moon, but that bright star is Venus. Back on schedule! This week should've included...
The pool deck is complete. I don't know what I expected, but it turned out better than whatever that was. The last thing we needed was more decking, so I didn't want to go overboard -- but we had to have a way to easily get in and out of the pool. I'm looking forward...
