SO I got the burn pile under control! The first burn took us down pretty well, but look here!
We're down to the ground! No more brush pile here!
There was a small mishap with the lawn mower....my hose is now about 3' shorter now than it was before.
When I went to Albion, I stopped at the Presbyterian Church. They are now closed. They were having a yard sale. It's a sad thing, but is getting to be a common occurance. This was my childhood church, and I loved the windows.
And the big organ-it never was used as I remeber it, but I heard that it does operate.
This stereo set up was used to play carrilion music-from LP records- through speakers in the church steeple. It was only on a few special occasions, like Christmas, but the music sounded so cool as I remember it anyways!
It's a really beautiful sanctuary, I hope it gets sold to someone for a venue or somehintg. The curved pews are so pretty.
They have pew cusions now! That's an improvment-you'd think that would get some folks into the seats!
The small office rooms all have stained glass windows too. This was a Sunday Schol classroom for awhile when I was a kid.
And here's the problem...
With only a dozen or so people in church any given Sunday, you can't even pay the electric bill with that attendance, let alone pay a pastor. It's a big loss for the community-there is no church now and no school. That's a death toll for the town I think, lucky they are not a bad location for commuting for work in bigger towns.
ANd this guy was being helpful and using the magnet roller to pick up nails from the brush pile ashes. He's pretty good help.
And very busy help too!
The water is always a favorite-it was crazy hot the last few days.
Time to upgrade from the triccyle-he calls it his e bike-I've got a new bike ordered for him!
