Wandering Words

Wild thoughts and mundane observation

Dayville Barn

Heather | July 26, 2009

I’ve never seen a barn with so many louvers. They are sort of arranged but still a bit crooked, and not quite centered up on each other, or the wall. There are no barn doors, where I would expect them to be.
I don’t know why it’s like that. It’s [...]

Rock Jack

Heather | July 26, 2009

Awhile back I was telling a story and said something about climbing over a rock jack. No one knew what I was talking about. They thought I made it up. Then I wondered if I made it up? It’s not something I ever remember someone explaining, it just is. [...]

Sisters Quilt Show

Heather | July 11, 2009

With Mom & Dad visiting this weekend, we decided to hit one of the local summer events, the Sisters Quilt Show.
(You might want to give these slide shows some time to load, and then come back to view them. After you’ve seen one, click the stop button, and that will let the [...]
