Yes, pretty dramatic title isn't it? Being shot at.......
This time of year I can be found collecting paper bags full of leaves to compost from curb side. I take those up on the hill to a place I have set aside to compost soil to add to my garden or tater baskets.
So there I was, dumping and folding over the pile, and in the distance, half mile out I could hear some one dialing their scope in and shooting their rifle. I also started to hear a muffled swoosh pop noise out to the left or behind me. I had about 11 big bags of leaves, and then I heard something puncture one of the bags. Sounded like some one flicked the bag. Then, right out in front of me, in the pile, the leaves came busting up. I just happen to look around, and across the hill was a person standing, aiming a rifle in my direction. I thought for sure, right away, it was Beau and his airsoft gun. He saw me looking at him and took off.
I was HOT!! so, I jumped on the tractor and headed over to his place, Dale, his Dad, was in the back blowing leaves. He wasn't aware his son had taken the BB gun out, but I made it clear that he was shooting at me. The kid came out and admitted he was doing it, and Dale kindda blew it off. I confront him, Dale, about how his child had access to any weapon at all? This is the second time he has had children and gun issues. I left, angry, but I am happy I handled it in a mature way. The kid is only 9 y/o and I told him next time I was going to have him put in jail, for a scared factor. Although next time I will call the state troopers.
This happened on the day I tilled a big peace sign in my yard and planted early snow crocuses so they will appear in the spring in a shape of a peace sign!!!
Yeah, I know, you might think I am nuts or a hippy... I always push the idea of fellowship and peace when around people. Though, at times, I do get caught up in a little bit of mud slinging from time to time. So, I never stand on a soap box and demand others to listen to John Lennon, Ghandi's or my idea of world peace. I am thankful to all service members and their families and my vision is only of that big white house and its policies with respect to other nations. That is that....
This is nice!!
G, you did such a good job on our beanies, how about making some whirled peas!!!!
If we purchased the property, it would be a retirement home for us. Its some what south of here and we would be out of the lake effects snow belt, the wife would be pleased. Its still very rural and shopping still 15 miles away for food. Clothes and other stuff another 10 miles added to that. Its true it could be emotionally driven idea to own the property, but if it is the right price, I would like to own it.
A modern version of my Arts and Crafts design range hood, though I like the old world patina much better, this one turned out pretty nice too.

My kid got grounded from her BB gun for just pointing it at the dog! That child is going to be trouble in the near future. No consequences is just really asking for trouble. Yeesh!
Those are kinda cute. What the heck would you use them for? hacky sac???
