jim ......ammophila is correct! mare_wbpa & alisande.....Thank you! I like doing projects & keeping things out of the land fills. I actually missed getting several swings before I found this one. I had to drive to a nearby town to pick it up. They sell replacement seats, but they cost what the swing did.

Awwww, BigAck. Jodi, that lighthouse is so neat and tidy. It could be a house. I'm cheating. I didn't take this pic. It's one of Oskar the blind cat. There are so many pictures of him on his Facebook page. He loves getting into, and onto things, even though he has no eyes. They were removed when he was a little kitten.

Same barn as in my last picture, but without the cyclist

It's beautiful. I did some research and it is the ivory pileated that is rare. We have 2 kinds of woodpeckers in the trees behind our house. One is a red bellied woodpecker and the other is the smallest there is I think. It is just a little bigger than a sparrow. Hey I love those owls, nice find. Two summers in a row we had this red tailed hawk. I could get within 6 ft of him before he flew. We could always tell when he was around, the other birds really were noisy, warning others I guess. He was white with caramel streaks through his feathers when I first saw him.
