tomatoes and flowers in containers this slideshow requires javascript categories container gardens gardening outdoors photography leave a comment reconfiguring posted on april 7 2013 by really rosiem last year i snagged this gorgeous dutch colony antique armoire from singapore off of the local craigs list for an unbelievable rock bottom bargain price how old it is i don t know enough about antiques to tell but have been told that maybe it is as old as 18th or 19th century from the hand carved floral design on the doors and trim up top the hand hewn markings on the lumber lining the inside and the basic design and stability of the piece i am absolutely delighted with it and admire its detail antique dutch colony armoire from singapore i originally configured this armoire as a desk for an old desktop computer system and while i ve streamed the occasional movie on this computer having a laptop computer and a kindle fire it seems i rarely sit at this desk and compute besides if i want there is a desk in the study guest room right in front of a big beautiful window where i can sit and use the laptop if i want to do some serious computing thus it seems this armoire although a beautiful piece of furniture in the main part of the condo is totally under utilized as a funtional piece of furniture currently configured as a computer desk recently while working on a sewing project on the dining room table i got the idea that i ought to turn this under utilized armoire into a useful sewing area looking for inspiration on armoire reconfigurations on pinterest i found the most amazing piece go here to see more http pinterest com pin 551479916840643062 this is exactly what i had in mind well i won t be painting that beautiful hand hewn wood that lines the back of my piece but the shelves in my armoire have been replaced with modern lumber so i can paint those i can also make colorful fabric and ribbon bulletin boards something like this http pinterest com pin 551479916840681413 only in a color that matches my color scheme to attach to the inside of the doors of my armoire and i can add a hinged or pull out shelf to use as the sewing machine pressing surface don t you just love projects that create something useful out of something so lovely and under utilized inspirational piece from pinterest an armoire configured as a sewing station here it is after relocating the computer to the desk in the study and the sewing machine fabrics supplies and tools to the armoire i m loving it as is and there was so much room i was able to use one of the shelves to store my watercolor and other painting supplies yeah filled with sewing machine fabrics sewing notions watercolor supplies yet to do paint the interior shelves add a slide out shelf just below where the sewing machine is now to use when sewing and paint that shelf make fabric and ribbon covered bulletin boards with pockets for inside both doors for notes patterns photos pin cushion other little supplies add a small flourescent lamp under the very top shelf to add better lighting when sewing so far there has been no immediate cost for this recogfiguration i have a quart of paint on hand that i got as a free sample a year or so ago that is about the color of my inspirational cabinet that will be perfect for this project i have plenty of fabric and ribbon in my fabric supply stash for covering the bulletin boards but will need to purchase the actual boards to cover and i will have to purchase a small flourescent lamp i will first of course check our local restore for these items before i head to a real hardware store even though it is not yet quite finished already i love it categories art shows craft shows photography quilting quilts leave a comment leucistic robin posted on april 3 2012 by really rosiem having observed this bird ourselves in the neighborhood turns out our bird of a different color is famous in our hood on our walk home from the grocery store we spied this 8 x 10 glossy displayed on the community bulletin board outside at nelson s market our leucistic robin s photo displayed on neighborhood bulletin board at first sighting i would never have guessed it was a robin as i would not expect to see a robin with a white head it is a robin though a leucistic robin leucism is a rare genetic mutation that prevents the development of pigmentation cells as seen in the abnormal plumage on our neighborhood robin for more information on bird leucism go here http birding about com od identifyingbirds a leucism htm categories hikes and

all that gloom a beautiful rainbow double at that appears double rainbow i am sorry that i have complained so much so often about the wet windy weather of late but the gloomy weather keeps me from

categories events people places things photography leave a comment taylor dock walk posted on february 3 2012 by really rosiem what is the difference between a walk and a hike i found myself asking that very question as i walked along taylor dock with a friend today we had a great time as we walked and it felt absolutely wonderful to be outside in the sunshine the coffee and conversation made for a wonderful break in the afternoon but i didn t break a sweat i wore my regular shoes and we basically just loitered the entire duration of our walk it was a beautiful day to enjoy a stroll and the view the sun was shining so gloriously on the newest addition to our waterfront grace grace is art gorilla art a beautifully graceful steel and rivited sculpture snuck in by an anonymous artist in the middle of the night during a low tide and mounted to tin island a pile of tin scraps left over from the hay day of foundary work along the antique fairhaven waterfront snuck in during the dark in order to avoid the complex permitting process for such a piece of art her beauty is appreciated by all grace but it was during this walk that i found myself questioning the difference between a hike and a walk you see with 2012 being the year in which i turn sixty i am well on my way to meeting a goal of completing sixty hikes before my sixtieth birthday you can go here sixty before sixty to read about those hikes today my friend and i walked approximately 1 1 2 miles in and around fairhaven along a portion of the south bay trail along taylor dock over pattle point and around boulevard park but i did not consider this walk a hike today we walked slowly we strolled really we chatted even a little about the difference about a walk and a hike often we stopped along our route to enjoy the waterfront views at boulevard park we stopped in at wood s coffee ordered coffees and sat outside for practically an hour as we sipped our drinks and continued our conversation that was when i realized the difference between a walk and a hike you see last month i did categorize some of the same walk route as today as a hike you can go here south bay trail to read about that hike last month s south bay trail hike consisted of a brisk walk of well over five miles in snowy conditions i wore my hiking boots i carried my pack the conditions were harsh and i broke a sweat it was not just a stroll nor did i loiter i got some good exercise out of my effort that s the difference the basic wikipedia definition of a hike is hiking is an outdoor activity which consists of walking in natural environments often in mountainous or other scenic terrain people often hike on hiking trails categories hikes and walks outdoors parks people places things photography leave a comment fish taxi posted on january 5 2012 by really rosiem after completing the first hike today toward my goal of sixty before sixty sixty hikes before my sixtieth birthday through the grounds of the northern state recreation area see hike 1 northern state recreation area in sedro woolley i drove on to the town of concrete for a visit to one of my favorite places the lower baker dam just before the turn off for the road leading up to the lower baker dam we cross the baker river by driving over this bridge it is one of my favorite bridges in all of skagit county baker river bridge i like to go directly to viewing area for the lower baker dam first to get a good look at the dam before i go on and do more exploring in the area i find it to be such an impressive wall of concrete when i stand there and look out to the dam my father worked on some rehab jobs there when i was a young child i was so little that i do not recall exactly what it was exactly that he did at the lower baker dam something to do with construction and often with concrete but to this day it feels good to stand there and see something of such mass that he was a part of the lower baker dam of course a dam like this at 285 feet high along a river like the baker would pose an impossible hurdle for the lifecycle of salmon as they fight their way back up stream to their breading grounds each year so the operators of the dam puget sound energy were faced with solving this problem their solution quite an elaborate fish taxi dena learns about the fish taxi at the lower baker dam what happens is the fish are trapped by being directed to swim into a holding tank once the tank has filled with enough fish they are pumped out of the holding tank and into a large portable tank on the back of a flatbed truck then the tank full of fish are driven taxied up the road around the dam and released back into the river so continues the life cycle of the salmon this slideshow requires javascript categories hikes and walks outdoors
