The New Room Takes Shape....

...next door. They hired a small, but expert team of hand-on carpenters--the same ones who performed a similar addition to the home on our north side, last year. Our Ph.D. friend is doing as much as he can to help, since he likes to work with wood and tools.....oh, and he's retired now. ; - )

Hubsy Visits the Community Garden at Wagner Farm..

...giving me a chance to include one more rusty hulk of antique farm equipment from the display.

Autumnal Abstract in Rust...

...ever since I happened to meet that photographer, (Colin Winterbottom of DC) when we were in PA. I keep my eyes open for corrosion patterns. He had a macro lens, that makes a big difference; I like the colors of rust.

Rusted Tractor Seat with Yellow Flower...

...why? Why not! Perfect for Mellow Yellow Monday .

Windows and Doors Abound on the Farm...

...this was a pretty good one, minus the SUV out front. But, face it, north Chicago-land suburbs provide good homes for SUV's; they're everywhere--it's how they roll.

Poultry Pics...

...Hubsy also wants geese or ducks; it's said they love to snack on his least favorite garden pest, the garden slug. Yeah, the Wagner Farm has some fine poultry on display. AND: there will be more construction photos from the project next door; coming soon.

I Can Read His Mind...

...Hubsy want Chickens! I don't plan to be "processing" any Chickens for Chicken Dinners, but he wants the critters for eggs; that part I understand. He's taking mental notes on the construction of a Chicken House.
I had forgotten the characteristic smell of "Chicken House".
