I spent the afternoon with Kaylee and she wanted to know if we could go hiking again this weekend. LOL I told her we needed to work on her new house, but maybe we could in a couple weeks after they're moved.

A day at Old Man's Cave
The hubby and I took grandkids Cody and Kaylee hiking at Old Man's cave last Sunday. They were both very excited. They said they had never been hiking before. It was a little over 100 miles from our house, but we took lots of stuff to entertain them and they did great. Here are a few of my favorite pics from that day.

Refurbished drawer display cabinet, dragonfly sculpture, and gathering nature
My oldest daughter Angie, my granddaughter Kaylee and I went in search of nature over the weekend.
We harvested some wild bittersweet along a fence row. We just had to wade the weeds to get to it.
Next we ventured to the local cemetery to gather buckeyes and acorns. The squirrels had beat us to most of the acorns, but we gathered some of the hairy caps. Then Kaylee and I gathered some tiny pine cones from beneath my black forest spruce tree. But it can't be all work and no play. Kaylee needed to go swing in the back yard for awhile.
And I painted this old drawer to convert it into a display shelf. It can stand or hang.
Other than this hubby and I took a short trip on the motorcycles to get an ice cream cone, we did a little tinkering in the garage, but mostly I was lazy.
I hope you found something fun to do with your weekend.

I also made a very delicate dragonfly sculpture. This dragonfly is much smaller than most I make. It's wings are made of a strip of brass flashing off an old door. One wing even has a nail hole in it from where it was fastened to the door. The side of the brass exposed to the weather has a beautiful patina. It sits atop a steel rod, inserted into an a piece of antique walnut.

Give away
I'm finishing up the dragonflys for my new freinds, but I have only gotten addresses from 5 of the 8 people.
So, Robin, Lona, Carmen, Peggy and Cheryl - yours will mail by the weekend. I had to get some clear coat to protect them. I picked that up on the way home from work today.
Sherry, Tricia and Stacy. IF you're still interested in a dragonly please email me your address so I can send you one.
Todays' weather is absolutely perfect here in central Ohio. The hubby has been holding down the recliner watching football. I hope you're doing something fun wherever you are.
