PROJECTS: #2 and #3

Garvin had started a "list" entitled:

"Rick Miller"...

On this "list" were all the PROJECTS we would

involve these dear friends...

So, here is an INCOMPLETE 

Project #2

 There was a "drain" placed near our

basement backdoor...to help any additional 

runoffs from snow or rain...The previous

owner of this house, got FLOODED TWICE...

Our other neighbor, helped the precious owner put in

a "DRAIN"...Garvin hunted down...where the

water went...and found the pipe in our field, BUT,

it was plugged up, etc.

So, Garvin dug out a bigger hole...

cleaned out the mouse nests...

but, wanted to maintain an opening...without 

stuff plugging up the drain pipe...

so...after much pondering...

here is the basic idea...of the "solution"...

60 lb. bags of cement...when wet...

making a cement WALL...

Clever, huh...

 They do this sort of thing in other places...

hopefully...it will work for us...

PROJECT #2

 This is a NOT FUN project...

REMOVING all the blasted "rocks"...

that made "flower beds"?????

Fran discovered...this "Spider and the Fly"...

Remember that little poem?

Interesting story behind this poem...

The Spider and the Fly is a poem by Mary Howitt (1799-1888), published in 1829. The first line of the poem is "'Will you walk into my parlour?' said the Spider to the Fly." The story tells of a cunning Spider who ensnares a naive Fly through the use of seduction and flattery. The poem is a cautionary tale against those who use flattery and charm to disguise their true evil intentions.

Today, we begin PROJECT #3...
