Fun or Funny Friday ~ Mr. G's Backyard Fun

While I would consider digging and move rocks around the backyard

as hard labor.

Mr. G apparently has fun doing it even in triple digit weather?

He has spent the last 2 months gathering stones off the side of the road
and via facebook for free or near free.
He has spent the last couple of years buying what we call "orphan" perennial plants,
or plants that have spent out their beauty this year and marked down, so he
gives them a home for the winter to be rewarded by their beauty the years to come.

He seems to really enjoy putting this puzzle together.

Sometimes he'll take parts apart and start all over.

What we do during the summer, instead of traveling and fighting tourist crowds this time of year.

The Fun part of being retired is traveling during off season.

Thoughtful Thinking Thursday #144~ Leaders

 In the world of reality,

Leaders are usually outstanding folkings

that are "big" in our lives.

The locomotive that leads the rest of the train

is usually larger than any of the other cars.

 In the sewing and quilting world,

a leader is usually a small piece of fabric.

They even come from the scrap pile that is about to be thrown away.

Sometimes a machine has a hard time starting stitching a seam

without "nesting" which is a gathering of thread & stitches 

that causes the machine to bog down and not move on.

By starting in the middle of a "Leader," this doesn't happen.

The stitching moves on to the next seam without cutting the threads.

The train of fabric starts with the Leader!

Can Leaders in the life of reality come out of the scrap bag?

*****

"THINK about it."
