Many years (nay, decades) ago, my sister-in-law visited the Netherlands and brought back "Wedding Clogs." They were as elaborately carved as these.
So, I would say: yes special occasion.

Saw this display in Amsterdam. Must be for special occasions only. Did not see a price.
Yup! An easy care garden - that's my aim.
Unfortunately the weeds have better ideas.

That's what I like. Plants that take care of themselves.
Thanks - that might be a new way to go!

Worthy of a kitchen art hanging!
Good idea, except for the 2 feet of snow still over the garden.
Thanks for writing.

Those old photos might have an extended life: contact the association of former crew members. Many have websites and would like them to be posted. Keeping the memory alive.

The hard part for me is having been part of it, when we pass, are children will be going threw are old boxes and draws, will most likely just toss those old photos in the trash can. But there are still a lot of use that have a special place for those photos.
Found these hiding in the pantry. Couldn't resist a portrait
I'll take a different track!
You did say Pennsylvania, right? PA is coal country, I suspect a piece of machinery (or part thereof) for coal mining.

We live in one of the Antique Centers of Pa. This old relic has been sitting out in all kinds of weather for years. Any ideas? Thanks. One person I know seems to think it is a German WWII era armored vehicle of some sort??
Other than this thread, is there another thread that reports on his adventures?
Actually it is interesting to have him report on the adventures he has.

I guess it was a bad idea. :shock: But probably that 5 and ten hedgehog could tell you about far away places also. Places like China.
Not sure about people eating them, but I did observe a bird devouring one. Except the wings!

Looks like you captured a picture of a King Cicada. Larger,and different in color from the more common female of the species. I've never seen anyone eat them though. Great Picture.
Those of us in the mid-Atlantic get to experience these critters.
You may have read about the 17 year Cicada. This is the year!
These harmless insects emerge from 17 years below ground to molt, lay eggs, hatch and return to the ground.
The mating call of the adults is deafening. It has been compared to loud traffic noise. Or like a car alarm the does not stop from about 5am to 7pm. They are quiet at night, thankfully.
The photos below show the shells of the nymphs (they are all over) and one adult (they are usually in the tree-tops - not at camera level).
A shel of their former selves
The shells cling where they were left
Oh those RED eyes
