Rain

It's Sunday, it's raining and there's nothing to do outside.  This was taken yesterday when it was nice and Bob was able to work outside and inside the Bob house.  He's working on a warping board for me for the new loom.  It has to be ready for the 9th when I take the weaving course.

Garden shot from front porch.

 Yet another shot of the garden.  oh well.  It's from a different angle. 

While Bob was in DC he went to the Korean War Memorial and sent some pictures home.  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Korean_War_Veterans_Memorial.  As a result, I realized how little I know about the Korean War, how terrible it was and how poorly the Americans were prepared for it.  So I added some books to the reading list.http://www.nytimes.com/2007/09/23/books/review/Frankel-t.html?pagewanted=all  David Halberstam's The Coldest Winter and several others that look interesting.

And now, just some closing pictures of the house since it's too rainy and cold to go anywhere to get pictures of anything.

A shot of the dining room without a pew (unrelated to a Room with a View), which by the way, didn't get auctioned.  It's in the extra room waiting for the loom.  I'll have a good place to sit as I weave.

Foreign pears of some sort on the counter.  There's little local fruit available right now so we wait and make do with what we can get.

The newest addition to the house. Aptly named Elvis because he is so darn cocky.  Right now he sits on the dining room table.  If we can't get one to come to the bird feeder we might as well have one at the table . I'm reading the biography of John Kennedy Toole, the author of Confederacy of Dunces. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_Confederacy_of_Dunces   The biography is Butterfly in the Typewriter and though its interesting, I keep thinking that it would be far more fun to read Confederacy of Dunces again, which is what I'll probably do.,
