Finished projects and other stuff

Well it seems that Gary is better at getting things on his 'to do' list than I am. Here he is working on a chair/table combo that we got for Christmas. He wanted to stain it before assembling it to do a really good job on it. Lots of pieces - 66 to be exact. Two coats of stain on all sides before assembly - he now hates burgundy stain!


Now for the best part - imagining sitting out in the sun with a glass of home brew!

Yesterday morning around 7:30 a.m. - if a red sky in the morning is for sailors to take warning, what is this?

On Sunday we went on another little trek - hoping to do a little hike at Delaps Cove Wilderness trail; however, it was too icy to get to the trail so we went to the Habitation - a National Historic site - a replica of the origional fort built in 1605 (first permanent European settlement in North America) instead. Here Gary points out the wooden pegs that were used in construction.

This shot shows more of the Habitation. In the summer it's open with interpretative guides who dress in period costume.

Where did the water go? On our Sunday drive we went through Parkers Cove and the tide was out and these boats are actually sitting on the ground.

FINALLY! a place I recognize. We used to go there all the time. It was awesome. You can feel the history there, Fort Anne is quite cool as well.
