barb claims i'm not a fan of chipmunks, but we can all see why i placed the fountain in their neighborhood.

new patio furniture arrived!!!
 

weekend projects.....

This weekend, after the Road trip, we spent more time working on the new patio area...
Bonsai tree and placed a bird bath (a father's day gift).








Intstalled a "Rain barrel" in the front yard.
...so of course it hasn't rained!













Layed in some more brisk to connect the old hot tub pad.
Also found a new home for the fountain.....


Here's a little cloaser look at the fountain and the hot tub pad turned into a barbaque area.

new landscaping

Rick Pratt Landscaping came and left us beautiful landscaping beds, a new patio and a front walk.......oh yeah, even a fire pit!

Danbury Fund Raiser - Heart Art

Local artist, including a personal friend Danny McKee, presented their works of Hearts at the Danbury Fair Mall on Saturday. The hearts will be auctioned in May to support the Cardio-wing at Danbury Hospital. The big Kahuna - Dan McKee - loves woodies!!! Can't you tell.

a kite bag for the woodstock kite

just finishing up the woodstock kite with a new bag to tote it in. Paisley makes me think of the Sixties.....the bag is black ( with a paisley collar) and about 66 inches long with a 4 inch diameter. red rip-stop liner for the collar....

Woodstock project completed

the design is based on an ASMARA. A few personal changes later produced a 8 foot wide stunt kite. While the blizzard of FEB 2006 was underway I finished assembly. I built it for the Smithsonian Kite Festival which celebrates its 40th anniversary, and reminisce's about the decade of its origin – the 1960s.

hPDA discovered

my sister-in-law Anu send me this link a week or two ago. It described a PDA that never requires battery replacement or recharging. I have since created a hPDA for myself and after a week of use, I'm still using it.
