I took this picture slightly from the side. As you can see the compass star is off center to the driveway. I'm guessing it's true NSEW and the house, driveway is slightly off true. I think this is really pretty, but I don't know if I would like that it's not symmetrical with the driveway!
One of the places that I like to walk has this area with a bunch of exercise bars.
One of the houses in our community has this little fairy village in front.

Our local sandhill cranes decided to pay us a visit!

They pecked up practically every single bird seed that was under our feeder. They stayed for about an hour.
We had the boys overnight last weekend and decided we wanted to sit outside and have a fire in our portable fire pit.
It was pretty cold even wrapped in blankets. We stayed outside for a total of 5 minutes then back into the warm house!
Yesterday was our 48th anniversary. We just went to dinner at a local restaurant called EG Nicks. Nothing fancy.
I had a glass of Moscato. I rarely drink but when I do like a glass of wine or a beer. This was so good and really hit the spot!
For some sad news Rich's older sister Jackie passed away last night. She was 74 and had advanced Alzheimer's. She lived in a nursing home about a hour away from us. It's sad because she was so young to have that disease but a blessing also.
That's it for now.
See you the next time and thanks for stopping by!
I'm sorry about Rich's sister. That was young to be dealing with Alzheimer's.
ReplyDeleteHappy Anniversary!
I did know that was a compass rose, simply because we just got one, a metal one to hang on the wall with some nautical pictures. It looks cool on the driveway, but I would also like it symetrical.
When someone with Alzheimer's passes away it's always bittersweet.
ReplyDeleteI'm so sorry about Jackie. I had no idea about the name of the compass rose, that is so interesting to me. I love the large fairy garden, and wonder if they ever get wet or blown over by the weather. they are kind of back in a little nook. How lucky you are to have these Cranes!!!
ReplyDeleteThat compass on the driveway is pretty cool.
ReplyDeleteHappy anniversary to you and Rich. That's quite a milestone.
So very sorry to hear about his sister. Condolences to you and the rest of her family
So sorry for the loss of your SIL. I did know it’s called a compass rose, but have never seen one on a driveway. Happy Anniversary!
ReplyDeleteHappy Anniversary!
ReplyDeleteSorry about your loss. That is such an awful disease. My mom had it.
I've heard of compass star but not compass rose. I really like it.
ReplyDeleteA couple of our parks have various exercise bars too and I think it's a great idea. They've set up a small exercise 'station' right outside of the water park that I know a lot of people use.
I had to laugh that you all stayed out for 5 minutes. Snuggling up outside by a fire is a good thought but I always give up too.
Happy Anniversary to you both and I'm so sorry about your SIL. Alzheimer and dementia are very cruel diseases.
Enjoy your first day of Spring.
I'm so sorry about the passing of Rich's sister! It's a terrible disease!
ReplyDeleteI love to watch birds at the feeders! Happy Anniversary!
hugs
Donna
