After Dsole posted that wonderful library in Madrid…I thought I’d give you a little contrast. Our library is not big enough, even for our small town, but it is mighty. Part of the North Olympic Library System , it offers access to materials in librarys through out Clallam Country. I love the fact I can go online and search for books, movies, CD’s. Once I find what I want, I simply order it and I’m notified by email when it is ready for pick-up. Not bad! It has only been in what I like to call recent history that they have instituted fines for late materials.

Are you as ready as I am? I spotted these beautiful white tipped pansies at Sunny Farms last week.

For those who saw the picture of our new baby and saw yesterday’s post, you might have thought you would see me spoiling the baby…and that has been going on…but the real reason I have been out of pocket this last week, lies in this room. I thought a 2 week window was ample time to move all the furniture out, paint the walls, and get moved backed in…Normally it would be, but we had a new baby. Then I got sick and gave it to the grandson who was helping me with this project. My poor little computer has been unplugged, plugged back in…moved from one side of the room…notice the paint can I am using for a chair. You might also see evidence of a quick breakfast, blue painter’s tape…and definately missing covers for light fixtures. I am very happy with the color. This was achieved after three primer coats (it was going over paneling), then a base coat followed by a glaze. Tonight the grandson comes after his second job and we shampoo the floor. I love my grandkids!

I caught this seagull enjoying the updrafts along an ocean front trail. Tonight I hope to show you a post of what I’ve been up to lately….my excuse for late posts, typos, etc.

I hope three of the nicest neighbors find this picture as amusing as I did. The lot next to me is being cleared in preparation for building a home. One of the neighbor’s father has spent the last week helping out. They have felled trees, cut them in to small logs and then split the wood. I was on my way out the door to teach and grabbed my camera. I noticed the guys having a conference. They were all standing around the logs, I assume discussing which tree should come down next…or maybe it was the Superbowl. I started shooting through the window, and didn’t realize I had this shot until I got home. Can you see why it tickled my funny bone?

At first glance you might miss this piece of art downtown. It is part of a concrete planter/bench along the waterfront. I thought they were winds when I first took the picture. Now I am not so sure.

You probably won’t notice this horse when you enter the restaurant, Indian Oven, unless you are sitting on the bench patiently waiting for a friend to meet you for dinner. He hangs above the entrance door on the inside.
