I mean right at the point of slipping past on the horizon ?<br />Because thats when you would have noticed the size.... I also read about the reason its looks larger at that time.... Its because your eye has something to compare it too...not because its really larger ont he horizon.. Anyway we managed to catch it rising and oMGosh it was huge and gorgeous... You got some lovely photos girlfriend... i didn't even try.... i just soaked in that amazing sight.. <br /><br />I'm sorry i'm so late getting here to view your ball and clawfoot legs!! I almost forgot you said you were going to do that... Yours are so cooool... I have another house update coming for tea this week and i will try to get you some better pictures.. :) Hugs! debjinxxxygirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12349344319328467284noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14359045.post-24736969610988738452016-11-17T08:45:29.427-06:002016-11-17T08:45:29.427-06:00My goodness you have been busy!
I'm surprised ...My goodness you have been busy!<br />I'm surprised the grape juice didn't provide a stronger color....it sure does on my t-shirts!<br />I LOVE the rocking horse journal cover, great results....I might have to give that a try.<br />I don't have space for a true garden, but IF we ever get that new house built, there are plans for one, and I think I will give the Lasagna gardening a try.Krishahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04573573810959229149noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14359045.post-60423614501068993732016-11-17T08:01:39.768-06:002016-11-17T08:01:39.768-06:00I LOVE Lasagna gardening ♥♥♥♥♥ I switched to it 13...I LOVE Lasagna gardening ♥♥♥♥♥ I switched to it 13 years ago after moving here and discovering that our yard is almost 100% plastic clay. Which is a stickier and heavier clay than just regular clay soil. It almost feels like it has oil in it. The previous owner had amended the vegetable garden area a lot but it was still not what I was used to growing in. SO I went with a Lasagna Garden and raised beds. That sculpture is fantastic!!! I love it. You have worked hard now take a rest :) Winter is coming but today will be beautiful.

I am amazed how green it is in Wichita. Its always amazing how different the seasons change as you move around the country. They're even talking the S word in our weather next. And I haven't got my snow tires yet! Oh my. But I am loving that cool metal pieces near your house. What talented guy.

I was really expecting a darker result. It's pretty, though, just more delicate than I expected.<br /><br />Your garden posts are among my favorites as you know. Our high today was in the upper 70sF, so it's not quite time for me to make my final preparations for winter. My finches are still outside, too. I wonder if it'll ever get cold here lolDivers and Sundryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01759655568104782267noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14359045.post-43928930319014638412016-11-16T21:09:39.408-06:002016-11-16T21:09:39.408-06:00I was pretty sure we were neighbors.

You just looked at my header photo which was from a vacation and didn't think we lived near each other.<br />Please come see my Blog and email me. Would be fun to touch base.<br />Lovely photos of the moon!

You did well to get all that garden work done - at least you can relax now! We have colder weather forecast for the next few days! What a talented neighbour you have too!

The plants you took inside look so healthy, they should winter well. <br />So it will be grape juice for drinking now that you didn't like the results. The sun dye piece looks fantastic with the rocking horses.<br />We didn't get to see the moon where we live as the sky has been so cloudy, your photos look great.<br />Yvonne xxMeggymayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15523023041456397683noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14359045.post-58705621613384578862016-11-16T13:02:55.810-06:002016-11-16T13:02:55.810-06:00love the rocking horses you are working with.

Really intriguing. I have to do the hose thing this weekend or maybe even today. Still have some leave to get up -- I don't have many but leaves are leaves, no matter what.<br /><br />Thanks for your comments on the Gypsy -- I owe all my scarf success to you! I know what you mean about people who bargain on things like that. No, it is NOT a yard sale of leftover junk, it is art created with care and love. (I don't even like people who bargain over a dollar item at a yard sale. Really? No!) But on art -- no way. Bad form. I will say that we try to price things fairly and I suspect if you saw any one of our stuff in a gallery or shop it would be upmarked. And we might do specials on old merchandise or quantity. But the price is the price! Anyway, I was very glad you shared that -- and very sad it happened in the first place.Jeaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17482528482559445943noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14359045.post-46768264145141420852016-11-16T02:55:14.844-06:002016-11-16T02:55:14.844-06:00Love the metal work sculpture and the idea of putt...Love the metal work sculpture and the idea of putting cardboard on the soil--terrific.<br /><br />You have done a grand job on the fabric as well<br /><br />Love Chrissie xxchrissiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05841948513176294307noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14359045.post-3769379698913295192016-11-16T01:17:58.511-06:002016-11-16T01:17:58.511-06:00Wow.. you did an amazing job again in the herbal g...Wow.. you did an amazing job again in the herbal garden - busy Elizabeth!<br />Your neighbour is an artist as well!<br />O.k. grapejuice is for drinking now?? - But I think it looks quite good<br />and the green - blue fabric is going to be a fab piece I guess!

Here autumn is moving into winter, the leaves are all gone, it's cold, misty and grey, brrrrr. Glad you found time to play with your fabric and rocking horses. I am not so fond of ball and claw feet, as a child I was always frightened of them, and thought animals were trapped inside them! Okay, in the meantime I know it's not true....Have a fun day, hugs, ValerieValerie-Jaelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01538850820168903865noreply@blogger.com
