Stage 4 is the worst stage of cancer, meaning that the cancer has spread pretty much everywhere. One important word the doctor used to tell him this was "incurable". Although he fought for extra time living with sessions of chemotherapy and radiation, that important word turned out to be the most important one. Really we knew it was, but he had appeared to be responding well to the chemotherapy and to the holistic approaches he was doing on his own. Twice though he had to pause chemotherapy until his body could continue with it. Then the intervals between sessions had to be longer than planned as his bloodwork was not strong enough to allow chemo on some scheduled days. The cancer took advantage of those treatment delays. Finally at the beginning of November 2015, he was in too much pain from the tumors and we had to call for transport to the hospital. He had to wait for over an hour in the ER waiting area, still in terrible pain. Finally they brought him back, ran some tests and a scan, and one of the ER doctors asked us what our plan was. Neither of us knew what that question really was about and neither of us knew how to answer it. What the doctor meant was did he have an understanding of the "incurable" part about his illness (yes), did he have the medical & legal forms taken care of (yes), and did he want to be resuscitated if his body failed him in the hospital (no). They found Farmer Lynn a room on the cancer floor and the next few days were a blur of various types of tests and scans. Several different doctors were involved. As they struggled to find him some pain relief, they also began a series of operations to repair areas where the bones were either broken already or appeared to be right on the verge of that. Here's his sister visiting in the hospital:</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">In December, he was transferred to a "nursing home" to receive further physical therapy before returning home. A week later, the PT head came and told him they felt that continuing physical therapy was too dangerous for his fragile bones. So he finally got to go home, his goal since leaving home over a month before. He had worked hard on his PT assignments and was able to use a walker to get around and look after himself. However, as he entered the house, he fell right at the threshold. Hospice was going to be looking after him and was already on the way, but at learning of the fall, they sent extra people to be able to pick him up. So he got settled into his hospital bed in the living room right in front of his TV. This is a photo of two of his three grandchildren:</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Hospice and a private CNA looked after him the rest of December. I slept in the recliner in the same room, inching it closer and closer to his bed until finally I was beside it, the way it had been in the hospital. The last week of December, he didn't eat much at all and slept most of the time.Towards the end of that week, the Hospice nurse was looking at me in a different way, kind of a hard seriousness is the only thing I can say to describe it. My daughter came and spent the nights on the living room couch. Her wedding anniversary was New Year's Eve so the CNA came to spend that night while my daughter and son-in-law celebrated their anniversary. Early on the morning of January 1, 2016, he died. I know he was at peace with that, having a strong faith that God would continue to look after him after this life as He had during it. He had written his own obituary when he learned of his cancer and made only a few changes to it during the year and a half he was sick. It read:</span><br />

Harmony NC on March 9, 1957. Lynn
was raised in Harmony and went to North Iredell High School and Surry Community
College. He worked as a factory supervisor and mechanic for 30+ years. Lynn was
the kind of person that it was a blessing to get to know. He had a deep abiding
faith and shared it with others. He would cup his hands and say that he felt he
was “in good hands”. Lynn had a wonderful sense of humor and was fond of
saying, in response to "How are you?": </span><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri;">"Well, I woke up above ground".
He loved the outdoors, its plants and animals especially. He lived in Iredell
and Yadkin counties most of his life. In the late 1980's and early 1990's, he
was part of the area’s "Deuces Wild" rock band, of which he was a
founding member. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The Yadkin Yard, and this blog, were favorite projects of Lynn's. He loved everything about the yard, its plants and views, sunrises and sunsets, deer and rabbits and birds. He was also interested in the inside plants and his Bonsai plants. Actually I don't think he ever met any kind of a plant that he didn't like. The house, patio, and front porch were full of his plants as well as his baby plants in various stages from cuttings to almost full size. He had plans to sell those plants and was researching all about that prospect. He had begun plans for the yard including starting a rock garden in the backyard, two grapevine areas, a straw-bale method vegetable garden that was very successful, a larger garden out further in the yard, and cut a path through the weeds and trees to the small stream at the back of the property. He watched YouTube videos to learn things that he didn't already know, particularly about caring for Bonsai plants and the process involved in straw-bale gardening. He had an elaborate setup of soaker hoses on a timer and was very proud of that project. I was not physically able to continue all of his yard projects and so was planning to stop this blog at his death. However, you can't stop a yard! The Yadkin Yard lives on in his design and with all of the loving care he poured into it. And so the story of the Yadkin Yard, and the Yacking about it, goes on...</span></span></div>

<br />
<div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<br /></div>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I did my usual research on the Web about the juicing machines people liked the best. One that kept being mentioned was the Oster juicer so that's what I bought. Here it is with two healthy glasses of pure juice.</span><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I followed a general recipe of 2 celery sticks, 3 carrots, and 1-2 apples. Then I added whatever we had on hand (pears turned out to be a good addition) or that I had learned were good for me but didn't like (kale, broccoli, cabbage, and cauliflower are in this group, lol). You don't cook any of these prior to juicing; everything is raw. I cut them up somewhat to make it easier to go through the juicer. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The juice comes out separately from the remains of the process. You can use the remains in your compost bin or just throw them away. The juice will be cold because most of the ingredients came from your refrigerator. I found it helpful to at least rinse off all the Oster parts at this point rather than letting it sit. It's so much easier to get the food off right away. Then I'd drink the juice. My body reacted as if it had been waiting all its life for this amazing juice. It clearly was a hit there inside me! I drank one glass a day and really tried to do this each day. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The muscadine and scuppernong grapes are native to North Carolina and definitely to this area of Yadkin and Iredell counties. There is a good blog post by Kevin Campbell about these grapes at "<a href="http://foothillplanttreasures.blogspot.com/2014/08/new-life-for-old-living.html" target="_blank">New Life for Old Living</a>". Now we'll see if any grapes turn up in the Yadkin Yard. If so, I'm making jelly.</span>Sillyrabthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15004058994043450414noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7611303901539540635.post-25199293397344975092015-02-18T21:32:00.001-05:002015-02-18T21:32:55.689-05:00Yadkin Yard AnimalsThe Yadkin Yard is a sanctuary for, and is full of, deer, rabbits, a few cats, a groundhog, lots of birds, and naturally squirrels/chipmunks.<br />

Bird nest in gourd that broke. On the table where I was make bird houses. Three little eggs were laid, babies feed by both parents, and I even escorted them across the yard when they left the nest until they made it to a weedy area. All from the broken gourd on my work table.<br />

<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">The first </span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">one published was about the Citadel case (he was one of Shannon Faulkner's lawyers): <a href="https://www.blogger.com/%C2%A0http://www.amazon.com/Local-Counsel-First-Citadel-Beyond/dp/1611630320/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1416018151&sr=1-1&keywords=Robert+Black+Citadel&pebp=1416018133560" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"> Local Counsel: First Women at The Citadel, and Beyond</a></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">There's a paperback version and a Kindle version of this one. From his wife:</span><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"> </span><br />
<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">The book is a look back at the case, with a broader overtone, focusing on the old system. </span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">What many people don't realize is that the initial challenge in the case was the Citadel's fight to keep women Veterans out of its Veteran's program... they ended up closing the entire program to keep from having the court order them in! (It's only recently reopened that program). </span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Another little known highlight is that the U.S. Government intervened in the case, and sued the Citadel, too, not just the women Veterans and Faulkner. Bob ends the book with a proposal for the future of the school that would improve higher education in S.C.</span> </blockquote>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Then there is a Psalter, <a href="https://www.winter-verlag.de/en/detail/978-3-8253-6128-0/Black_ea_Eds_The_ME_Glossed_Prose_Psalter_1/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">The Middle English Glossed Prose Psalter</a> <span style="background-color: #cfe2f3;"> </span></span><span style="background-color: #cfe2f3; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">From the publisher: </span><br />
<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<span style="background-color: #cfe2f3; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">The ‘Middle English Glossed Prose Psalter’ is a fourteenth-century anonymous interlinear Latin-to-Middle English glossed prose translation of the ‘Book of Psalms’, eleven canticles, and the Athanasian Creed. One by one, each verse is written in Latin with an accompanying Middle English translation immediately following. Over one third of the Latin verses of the psalms and canticles in the four surviving manuscripts contain short, sometimes conspicuously Christian, glosses. This edition uses Cambridge, Magdalene College, MS Pepys 2498 as the base manuscript and includes variant Middle English readings from the other three manuscripts. The ‘Middle English Glossed Prose Psalter’ includes an edition of the glossed Latin as well as an edition of all of a French exemplar from Paris, Bibliothèque Nationale, MS fonds français 6260, a fifteenth-century copy of an earlier French text that appears to have influenced the Middle English translators. The edition is in two volumes, and contains a full introduction that includes an analysis of the language of the manuscripts by Jeremy J. Smith. In addition it contains commentaries on the Middle English, Latin, and French texts, three appendices, a select glossary, and bibliography.</span></blockquote>

One thinks of feral cats as being outside cats, too wild to be inside. However, we do have 3 feral cats living here now in the house with us. One I've had for over ten years now. She was a tiny motherless kitten that mewed for about 24 hours before I had to, of course, give in and bring her inside and feed and bathe her. She was not grateful for being rescued. She hissed and spat and hid behind the furniture, un-pet-able, un-cuddle-able, for actually years.

Late last Spring, about this time, two kittens showed up here, in the Yadkin Yard, hungry, thirsty, open to attack from dogs and other larger cats. One of the kittens was clearly the mother of the other. Yet both were small and skinny. </div>

<br><br><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"> After struggling with this for several days, and saving them from one dog, they came inside to the downstairs only and had a trip to the vet. After getting their shots and deworming medicine, they both were neutered. The mama kitten was about 6 months old, the vet said, and actually pregnant with her second litter when he spayed her. She had an infection and was too young to be having back-to-back litters like this. The vet said we saved her life. </div>

<br><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">But MamaCat had a kitten with her and so she and Lil Girly fought. When I say fought, I mean running through the house, over and under things, oblivious to what was in the path. This had to stop. So Lil Girly took up residence in the craft room and the sunroom, while the two kittens had the rest of the upstairs and sometimes the downstairs also. There was a problem with this separation, however. Without open air flow, those two back rooms were cold in the winter and hot in the summer. As this spring heated up, we searched for a solution. Enter Latch'n'Vent Interior Door Prop.</div>

<br><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"> You unscrew the brass plate on the door frame and replace it with the Latch'nVent by screwing that in its place. Then you close the door onto the end of the 2", 3", or 4" (we used 2" to be safe) vent arm. Voila, end of problem. Now the air circulates, we're comfortable, they're comfortable, all is well. What a difference. It's made by Symphatics in Oklahoma and is about $15. And no, we weren't compensated for this commercial, haha! </div>

I follow the DIY sites and had settled last year on the Billy bookcases from IKEA. Three of the 30-1/2" width ones, including their height extension units, would take up the space from side to side and up to the ceiling of what the realtor had called the master bedroom sitting room. It was a room between the hallway from the kitchen and the master bedroom. We couldn't figure quite what to do with a "sitting room". The previous owners had used it as a dressing area, sort of.<br />
<br />

<br />
We didn't need that. All the bedroom furniture fit into the bedroom. So a dressing area, no. Another area to sit in, not particularly. But a place to put all these books and recycle the boxes? Now that's a room I could understand and appreciate and be grateful for. So I measured and measured and figured out exactly what to order from IKEA. After the bookcases came and we put them together, then there would be more parts to go get from Yadkin Lumber Company for the base molding, toe molding, and crown molding, probably even some more little pieces from them in order to make the bookcases look like they are built-in and have always been there. There are plenty of DIY sites with step-by-step directions on how to do this. The most helpful, I think, is <a href="http://www.centsationalgirl.com/2011/11/from-billys-to-built-ins/#more-23570" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Centsational Girls's</a>, but there are lots of others for specific installations. Hers matched what we wanted to do. Here's hers:<br />
<br />

Except that we wanted to go all the way to the ceiling, a very possible task since the ceiling is 8 feet and the Billy bookcases plus height extension units are less than 3" from the ceiling, so with the crown molding, it'd be perfect. Ok, so I had my list of what to order from IKEA, filled out their shopping list, then shopping cart, then got ready for the payment part, and whoa PROBLEM. Stopped me right in my tracks. The shipping to Yadkin was $249.00. <br />
<br />
The closest IKEA store is in Charlotte NC, but I looked up the dimensions of the packages (they tell you right on their website, isn't that nice?) and first of all, they wouldn't fit in our vehicles, and second of all, we just flat weren't going to be able to lift up those packages, each 87 pounds (they tell you that too), onto a shopping cart, from the cart to the car, and from the car to the house and on back to the "sitting room". Both of us have serious back issues. So that's where the whole process stayed for several months -- stalled. Friends offered to go with me to the Charlotte store and help, but nothing seemed to actually pan out for various reasons. The boxes remained on the floor.<br />
<br />
Then the FreeCycle program started things off. If you haven't explored your local FreeCycle program, you really should. It's wonderful. A bunch of people trying to keep things out of the landfills. So they offer things through the FreeCycle network to other people who are also offering their things. Somehow it all works out. I have been on both the offering and receiving end of FreeCycle and have had really good experiences with the people. The website is <a href="http://www.freecycle.org/" target="_blank">freecycle.org</a> and then you look for the group closest to you.<br />
<br />
But back to the bookcases. Someone was moving within a couple of days and had to clear out their house. So they were offering several items on FreeCycle as long as you picked them up right away. One of their postings was for two white bookcases. Bingo! So my sister said she'd help me pick them up. They were down at the other end of her street. The offering people had left the bookcases on their front porch. So we got them into the truck, tied them down, and got them back to my house. Even though "we" was mostly her, she still needed me and so boy was I sore the next day! But I digress....<br />
<br />
They were both in great shape. One was perfect for the area off the kitchen. The other one turned out to be an IKEA Billy bookcase! How serendipitous! Exactly what I had been wanting. Since it was already all put together, all we had to do was to anchor it to the wall. <br />

And order the height extension unit to bring it up to the ceiling -- IKEA delivered that for only $11.00. Here it is after putting it together (very easy to do):<br />

Well this was even more of a confirmation that my original plan for 3 Billys was the thing to do for the sitting room. And for the boxes of books. So God bless two friends of mine for making this happen! They came and got me and we went to the Charlotte IKEA store. IKEA has on their website the row and bin# of the items in the self-serve section (which these are) at their store as well as a layout map of the inside. This is just tremendously helpful, saves so much time, no wandering around. We were all very impressed with IKEA that day.<br />
<br />
My friends loaded up the remaining two Billys and height extension units and when they rang it all up, I still had $ on my gift card! So yes, this was meant to be. Back home with it all, they hauled the packages into the sitting-room-about-to-be-library. They intended to stay and put it all together, but we were all pretty beat by then, and I felt like I had already taken up way too much of their day, and that we could take it from here. I thought I could actually work on putting them together here and there. Farmer Lynn thought he could put them together maybe the next day. Well, I'll bet you can guess how that all came out. So here's the three heightened bookcases put together and each anchored to the wall.<br />

Here's a little more progress on the unpacking. You may be able to see the little folded index cards I had to put on the shelves while I was putting the books away. Those are to help me organize the books into categories (Poetry, Science Fiction, Art, Bibles, Famous People, ...) so I could quickly find the right section.<br />

Two little accessories finished it up. While at IKEA, we had also gotten this litt<span style="background-color: #cfe2f3;">le <span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; letter-spacing: -1px; line-height: 30px;">BEKVÄM </span>s</span>tep stool to be able to reach the top shelves. It turned out to be a remarkably sturdy step stool as well as a just-big-enough-just-small-enough side table! And then the other day at Salem Creek, a local store here, I bought this little white wooden lamp with a white burlap shade. The whole thing is the perfect size to fit in between the bookcase shelves! I may go back and get another one of these.<br />

All of those book boxes are empty, broken down, and about half already to the recycle station. My sister came and helped me get the books all into the bookcases. It was amazing that all of those books went into the bookcases and there are no more boxes and no more empty shelves. It came out perfectly. The "sitting room" that we didn't know what to do with became the library that is useful and helpful and looks very nice. I'm very happy with this project.<br />

There are still a few finishing steps. In order to make the bookcases look built-in like Centsational Girl's does, we still need a trip to the lumber store to get a 94-1/2" strip of "classic baseboard" to go across the bottom front. There is no baseboard in the rest of the room but the bottom fronts need to have painted white baseboard to look better and also to get ready for the quarter-round toe/shoe moulding. The room does have stained toe/shoe moulding as well as simple white crown moulding, so those two types will have to come around both sides and across the front. Roughly 116" of each but will get more because of the mitered corners. I'll post that part when we get back to it. We have a few have-to-be-done projects first in order to get the Yadkin Yard and house ready for winter. I think the mouldings will be pretty simple actually but that remains to be seen. For now, I'm OK basking in my new library! Yay! Thank you to everybody who helped.<br />

Why, a TV Dish of course!In the Yadkin Yard, there is a Dish that is no longer connected all the way to the house, but is firmly planted in its spot in the side yard. It wasn't coming down/out nicely, definitely not. Once that was established, and the decision was made to "hide" it instead, we knew immediately exactly which plant we were going to use for that. Hello Lady Banks! Rosa banksiae 'Lutea', the Lady Banks rose, no question. This is a thornless rose, a distinct advantage when you're planning to train its growth habit. It comes in white and in yellow, the yellow being much more prevalent. It blooms once a year in the early spring, clusters of little double blooms all over the plant. Quite a show. We chose a yellow one.<br />
<br />
<img height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh5b_6KlFjRJ0Ri1Nrl7zdWRnPM4s4-QNi-_QvoJfLQxhvhyphenhyphenrB9ZaQGkOechAyPVa8jYAVKJh0M8bSMf3rZqeJjWXlub8h1heTJ7xFdRrn3hCJ4ggH581pacG4vhfw9acMCS3ps5xCFq8U/s320/015.JPG" width="240" /><br />
<br />
As I said, the Lady Banks is a rose bush without thorns. Abraham Lincoln said “We can complain because rose bushes have thorns, or rejoice because thorn bushes have roses.” A very good point. And yet it's very pleasant to find a rose bush with no thorns! I have had several in the past, at previous houses, at my mother's, and currently at my daughter's house. It has only a slight fragrance if any at all.<br />
<br />
The Yadkin Yard is in zone 7a but I initially encountered this rose in Savannah, Georgia, zone 8b. It is referred to as a "vine", which is how we're going to use it, at least to start off, but I think that's deceiving because it's perfectly capable, if not given any support, of growing numerous shoots from the ground and being its own showy separate plant. It wouldn't at that point be a vine along the ground, for example. It's going to shoot up and out. But it does take to having some support quite well. The Dish was just that sort of fine support system. I see it also referred to as a "rambler" or "climber". I would be more comfortable with those descriptions than calling it a "vine". The Lady Banks is not susceptible to the diseases that plague other types of roses. It is all-in-all a very satisfying plant.<br />
<br />
Fairly soon after initially planting the new Lady Banks at the foot of the Dish, we noticed it was apparently quite tasty to the neighborhood rabbits. Farmer Lynn quickly encircled it in chicken wire and that was the end of that.<br />
<br />
Here it is in mid-November 2012, planted, rabbit-nibbled, and then starting over again to grow, this time with netting around it at rabbit level --<br />

<br />
That first year, it established itself, overcame the rabbit munching, and began its climb up the Dish post. I felt the need to train it around the post that first year so that it would go up up up and not fall onto the ground where it could be rabbit food again.<br />
<br />
Being an evergreen plant, it still does and will cover its support year-round. This past winter was particularly mild and short, so the Lady Banks had extra Fall and Spring growing time. I am still "training" it around the back of the Dish, but I think that's just me and wouldn't actually be necessary at all.<br />
<br />
Here it is mid-April 2013. It had already made it up the post and onto the Dish itself.<br />

and now in mid-June 2013, it's bush-ing out quite a bit. I don't know that it'll complete its coverage journey this year, but my daughter is still convinced that it will. If not this year, then definitely next.<br />

My daughter is in zone 7b and her Lady Banks is huge. They've cut it back mercilessly several times and it's still huge. It anchors a corner within their backyard fence and spills over the fence with gusto. And look at these blossoms!<br />
<br />

That picture from 2012 wasn't even as big as that rose bush has gotten there. In fact, it is currently quite a bit larger than that. Here it is from 2010 from inside the fence. See, it doesn't need a structure to grow on. It's its own little rose bush shrub here --<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://sphotos-b.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ash3/12318_1339845789062_8208031_n.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://sphotos-b.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ash3/12318_1339845789062_8208031_n.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
The corresponding plant on the other corner is a Loropetalum, a purple shrub that is also huge. There are a few different types of Loropetalums, including at least one "pixie" variety and one that's not purple, but theirs is the type that is most prevalent and clearly is happy to be in their zone 7b. The two huge plants flanking the far corners of the yard do not seem to be aware that they were designed to stay within the confines of the backyard fence, which is actually a particularly tall fence. Zone 7b must be their perfect location. <br />
<br />
Now that Summer is here, the Lady Banks has clearly taken off. It is a very aggressive climber, in this case that's a good thing. She'll make it over and around the Dish this year. We may still be able to see parts of the black support but next year will take care of that also. With one more year's growth, in full bloom, it'll be stunning.

Sadly the peaches, though plentiful were only about
the size of a half dollar. Farmer Lynn pruned the "old guy" back last spring, and again this spring.<br />

Next years peaches will come from the new growth of last year's pruning so we will see if the tree is past its prime and more ornamental now.<br />

This is the fancy Weeping Laceleaf Japanese Red Maple. It stays low to the ground. I didn't think I liked it at first but I really do now. It's a pretty little tree. There are actually several varieties of Maples out here. A Bloodgood Japanese Maple brought from my mother's yard, regular red Maples and green Maples that were already here, this fancy one, and Farmer Lynn has bonsai'd either one or two downstairs.<br />

Here's one of the beautiful Encore Azaleas Farmer Lynn brought from the city, just beginning to bloom. There are several azalea colors -- this pretty creamy purple, red, dark pink.... The previous owner clearly loved azaleas and they're so pretty this time of year. There are a few Rhododendrons also, in the south border. I didn't notice what color they were last year and they haven't bloomed yet.<br />

Beautiful iris, one of several that are a dark purple on the bottom and golden on the top. Gorgeous. Farmer Lynn had carried these around with him in pots for several years. They finally got back into ground and showed their appreciation for that --<br />

This is tradescantia. This variety has regular green foliage and purple and blue flowers. I have the 'Sweet Kate' variety that I want to transplant from the condo over here and put just to the right of these. 'Sweet Kate' has bright lime foliage and will add nicely to this grouping.<br />

</div>
In last year's August 18 post, "The Yadkin Yard is a Good Garden Yard - Part 2", we showed how well the gourds (among other plants) were growing all over the place.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

So now after storing them during the winter, Farmer Lynn has made birdhouses out of a lot of them.<br />
<br />
He
sands the gourds smooth by hand with a medium sandpaper. Then he cuts a
hole in them to scrape the seeds out and to have a door for the future
tenets. Then he hangs the gourds up and spray paints them with an outdoor clear
paint.<br />
<br />
They're just the coolest things! The birds are really enjoying them.<br />

Downstairs Cat is, of course, fascinated with this whole bird nest / bird activity process! From nest building by Farmer Lynn, and nest building by birds just outside his door and window. Spring brought new wonder to this curious little fellow...</div>

Farmer Lynn hung up several of the bird houses around the north and east sides of the house. They look nice and blend in with the natural area there. They get lots of welcome visitors. But the one that got the<br />
the most interest was a bird so inspired by the gourd house design, it didn't wait for completion before it chose its gourd. A cracked gourd on the table Farmer Lynn was doing his gourd thing on. A wren built a nest and three baby birds was hatched, fed, raised, and flew from that gourd and it stayed on the table (much to the delight and interest of Downstairs Cat, whose window onto the baby birds is on the upper left of this picture!) Farmer Lynn didn't want to tear up the nest or move it when he spotted it, so he "worked around" it until the family was out...<br />

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">We had to say farewell to Nimbus. His arthritis had gotten too bad and then he developed a thyroid tumor and his heart began to give out. He was still a very sweet loving kitty, but this was all too much and it was finally very clearly t-i-m-e. He was no longer responding at all to the vet's medicines. If you live in or near Yadkin County, know that the Animal Ark in Elkin is the place to go for your house and farm animals. They are just wonderful there. They let me stay with Nimbus and kiss on him until his heart stopped beating. He was a great, great companion kitty and is and will be missed terribly. The other cat in our house, the feral cat Shadow, can't figure out how to act without Nimbus around to interact with. She's trying hard to let herself get close to us in response to his absence. This could be a turning point for her. You can see her trying hard not to be so afraid, on the other hand it's part of her, being feral. I've had her for almost ten years now, in the house but definitely still feral. That part will be interesting as it develops (or doesn't develop). </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">We are currently fostering Farmer Lynn's older son's almost-8-months-old kitten, Prince. Five is enough total mammals around here for me! So although we'll probably end up with an additional cat (or dog), I always do, I'm not ready yet. </span><br />

My daughter works for the Humane Society of Eastern Carolina, a wonderful no-kill shelter. I have not yet "gotten into" the orgs here in Yadkin County (other than to follow them on Facebook!), but here is some information on them. Both the Humane Society and the Shelter have adoptable animals and hard workers. I'm sure they would all love donations, volunteers, fostering and adopting folks. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Yadkin County is rural – rabies is more prevalent, and fewer companion animals are vaccinated and altered than in more urban areas. In order to combat these problems, we work diligently to see that low-cost spay/neuter and rabies clinics are available, and our members provide foster care to animals that would otherwise be euthanized until they can be adopted into loving, responsible homes. YCHS is a volunteer organization. We do not have a shelter or office space. All animals available for adoption are in foster homes with our members. Since we do not have staff or a building, our administrative costs are very low. This means more of the funds raised and donated go to the care of the animals. Hundreds of dogs and cats are rescued and adopted through Yadkin County Humane Society each year. Adoptable animals may stay in foster care with us weeks, months, even years before they find their forever home. With your help, through adopting, fostering, and donations, more animals can be saved. </span></blockquote>

<div style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;">
</div>
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: 'Lucida Grande'; line-height: 20px;">One of the blogs that I follow is Thistlewood Farms. KariAnne took the quiz at ArchetypeMe.com and said she learned a lot about herself. I've taken personality quizes over the years, most notably the Myers-Briggs one. I took it twice and was an ISFJ both times, Introverted Sensing Feeling Judging, which I agreed with after reading all about it. That ones helps you to see that there are lots of different types of people, different from you, that see the world differently and interact with it differently, and that does not make them wrong or dumb or idiots, haha, just different from you and your approach to things. If that sentence sounds odd to you, take that test online and you'll understand better. </span><br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: Lucida Grande;"><span style="line-height: 20px;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: Lucida Grande;"><span style="line-height: 20px;">Anyway, back to KariAnne. She's offering a sweepstakes entry for taking the Archetype quiz, which I did, telling the results on her blog, which I did, and blog about it, which is what this is! I'm happy to do that because I did truly enjoy the Archetype quiz, like the results (haha, that's always important, huh?), and because I really like her blog, </span><span style="line-height: 20px;">thistlewoodfarms.com, </span></span><span style="color: #333333; font-family: 'Lucida Grande'; line-height: 20px;">and respect her ideas. I have learned a lot about doing things I like to do from reading her blog. The Archetype quiz is very short, doesn't take any time at all, and is interesting. So if you want an entry in her sweepstakes, go to her blog and read more about it. </span></div>
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: Lucida Grande;"><span style="line-height: 20px;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: Lucida Grande;"><span style="line-height: 20px;">On the Archetype quiz site, they define Archetype as "a pattern of behavior. It explains who you are and how you engage with the world around you." Their results say that I am 37% Caregiver, 23% Intellectual, 20% Spiritual, and the remaining 20% is comprised of seven other archetypes that I haven't looked into yet but plan to. Here's my quiz result ---</span></span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://www.archetypeme.com//sites/default/files/chart-555065262.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="330" src="https://www.archetypeme.com//sites/default/files/chart-555065262.png" width="400" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
There is a whole huge further dimension to Archetype, of course. They'll get you a website and fill it with things that people with your "types" would like. Also you can move things there that interest you. This part is optional, something that you choose or not. So far I chose that, but we'll see says skeptical me. Have no idea why I'm skeptical because the rest of the site so far is very on-target. Still, we'll see, haha. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I do think it's important to realize that others do not learn things in the same manner as you/I do, do not approach problems the same way, do not care about the same things, care about completely different things! What a boring world it would be if we were all the same. Thanks KariAnne at Thistlewood Farms for this reminder.</div>

I put a blue nutcracker on the table underneath the framed cross-stitch flanked by red candles. I usually put white netting lights on the backyard shrubs but didn't this year -- just didn't feel like it. The tree is a fake ficus with the angels on it. I think it turned out really sweet. It has the clear ornaments with just a few pink ones. And I got out the Christmas pillows of course. <br />

Farmer Lynn spotted a Facebook posting of a tire used as a wreath (I'm sorry, I couldn't re-find that picture or who to give the credit) but it inspired him to make his own tire wreath to add to the front: He added so much holly and berries that you can't see the tire foundation unless you sneak up on it sideways.</div>

Two of the Christmas cacti that bloom at Easter, Halloween, Thanksgiving, and hardly ever at Christmas decided to bloom "on time" this year. So I got them together and put them on the corner heater.<br />

The best decoration of all, though, was a collaboration between Farmer Lynn and Mother Nature. He had wound several light strings around one of the evergreens in the front, but couldn't come up with a topping that he liked. As he went out to look at it all again, the moon came into perfect position over the top of the tree and Farmer Lynn snapped this picture. I think it's just beautiful and makes me so happy we spent this year setting up and feeling at home at the Yadkin Yard. </div>

The concrete walkway/sidewalk within the "dog lot" had seen better days. In several places, the concrete was just crumbling away from the rest of the walkway. <br />

<span style="text-align: start;">Today was a beautiful day, clear skies and temperature in the 70's! So Farmer Lynn's son came and repaired the concrete walkway. It looks great now. That's a beautiful area anyway because it has several birdfeeders in there and some pretty rose bushes. Farmer Lynn planted golden mums and shasta daisies from the south border garden at my mother's house. They're doing really well. This year was an adjustment year for them. They did bloom, but not like they normally do. I am confident they will put on a display next year, however. </span></div>

and took the truck and got a load of mulch for around the trees in the south yard. Now that the neighbor's yard fowl don't venture over here anymore (hallelujah!), we can go back to working on that yard. They also fixed the lawn mower cart/trailer, replaced the rubber seals at the bottom of some of the sunroom windows and one living room window where the seals had come loose so that the windows weren't sealing shut. All in all, a very productive Yadkin Yard Workday!<br />

<br />
We decided that the kitchen window needed some color, some softening, some fabric! So my sister, the family seamstress, went to Hancock's and brought back 4 fabric samples -- a tan burlap, a red burlap, and 2 red&black plaids. I hung them up on the window molding with push pins to see what looked best. Here's the window with no curtain but with the 4 sample fabrics:<br />

We liked all four samples which didn't help the decision-making! I was leaning towards one of the red ones but then decided that had something to do with the upcoming Christmas decorating! We finally settled on the natural-color burlap because it befitted a house in the country, because decorating with burlap is all over Pinterest (!!), because the black countertop has little flecks of tan in it, and because it reminded Farmer Lynn of being younger and part of a farming community.</div>

If you'll notice, the ends are already sewn through and have a finished edge. That helps a lot with the sewing part of the project. My sister was able to use that to her advantage. The width of the window opening is 67" and the width of the burlap is 47" so she sewed two 24" pieces together for the width, which made for sides that did not need to be hemmed because they are already finished.<br />
<br />
The window frame is between the upper cabinets on that side of the room. So rather than screw a curtain rod into the wood, I got a tension rod that would be long enough to fit that gap and we fed the valance through the tension rod. <br />
<br />
Trial-hanging the tension rod without the valance had been simple! However, once the burlap valance was hanging from it, that was a different story. I got it hanging this far up --<br />

but was afraid to go any higher without a 2nd person because it had to go exactly in the right area between the window wall and the lights, and because if it had fallen (which would have been very likely in the case of me doing it all by myself), it would have hurt plants and glass in the sink counter area. So the project paused for several hours. Then Farmer Lynn got freed up to help and we got it hung up the rest of the way. (Notice the sample piece of burlap fabric still hanging up, hehe -- we noticed it in time to get it down before the valance covered it up.) Isn't this pretty? There's a little bit of fabric above the rod to make a nice cheerful look, then the rod pocket, then the rest of the valance hemmed at the bottom. Alternatively, you could let that bottom edge be fringed.<br />

I'm very pleased with the way it turned out. The burlap carries an authenticity to it as part of the Yadkin Yard community and its past. The color picks up the light wood floors, the specks in the countertop, and some of the dining room furniture. And I just plain ole like it -- so there! Many thanks to my seamstress sister for making this for us.<br />
<br />
Burlap sacks were once a familiar sight for farmers and shoppers. Today, thanks to the popularity of plastic bags, it's almost possible to go your whole life without seeing one.<br />
<br />
Farmer Lynn remembers using and reusing burlap sacks on the farm when he was growing up. Using burlap in the Yadkin Yard house seemed appropriate to him therefore. <br />
<br />
Burlap is a coarse material woven from jute or hemp. Burlap sacks were once used to store and transport vegetables, flour, livestock feed, and other goods. Today, they are still often used to store large quantities of coffee and rice.<br />
<br />
Commonly called burlap in the United States, it is known as "hessian"
in parts of Europe because it was used in the uniform of soldiers from
the state of Hesse. A bag made from the material is called a "gunny
sack" in some places. And, of course, burlap is the rough material that
makes up the bags used by children in potato sack races. It's also
sometimes blended with other fibers to make yarn, rope, cordage, nets
and other similar products.<br />
<br />
It originates from India where it was used as backing on rugs and linoleum. India produces most of the jute that is spun into burlap. The two main sources of jute are C. capsularis and C. olitorius, which are grown in the Ganges and Brahmaputra valleys. The plant has only been known to Western trade since the 1800s.<br />
<br />
Burlap's distinct smell is from linseed oil used in the weaving process, to make it run through the looms, otherwise the coarse plant material tears and gets caught in the looms. It's itchy to sew with but fortunately this particular project did not require much sewing. <br />

OK, so when we last left this saga, lol, about growing pineapple plants, I had cut the top off the second of the "next generation" pineapples and put it in water to root. It did root. Here you can see how the roots look after just a couple of weeks. I changed the water twice, and one of those times I pulled out some pineapple fruit from around the little roots. Otherwise I really just left it alone. </div>

Once the roots looked viable, I planted the little plant in some soil and it's now set to grow indoors over the winter. The two new plants will probably not bear fruit next year; they'll probably wait until the following summer to do that. In the meantime, it's a nice plant I think. So theoretically the original two pineapples are now six plants. The original two are still alive. The two babies that have grown up in and around those original pineapples will need to be divided off eventually. And then these two new baby plants grown from the original pineapple plants' pineapple fruit. Try it out!</div>

We had a rusty-but-solid metal wind chime on the corner of the house. He decided that it deserved some sprucing up. So after sanding away the rust and old paint, he spray painted it a flat black indoor/outdoor Krylon paint, and let that dry real thoroughly. Then he put a leaf here, a leaf there, and did a real soft overspray with Rustoleum's similar spray paint in Heirloom White. He let each side dry really well before doing the next side. Only one side had a small run, probably just a tad too much paint on that one. But now the wind chime is hanging back up in its corner spot. Removing the rust and painting it with rust-resistant exterior paint should really add to its lifespan. I think it looks splendid.<br />

Since then, we cut off the biggest one's fruit and ate it, cutting off the top greenery of that to make a new pineapple plant. I like that new plant. Here it is in dirt, growing inside until next Spring. It has already grown quite a bit. I think they're such pretty plants.<br />
<br />
We didn't remember to take any pictures of that operation, so today when we cut into the smaller pineapple and cut off its top, we took pictures.<br />

Take the top piece and put it into some water so that the roots for it (which you'll be able to see up in there already -- little white slivers) can grow enough to support the plant in some dirt. It won't take long for this to happen. Keep a watch every few days that you still have enough water in the cup, that the water isn't all dirty, and to remove any fruit that separates down from the roots. Enjoy your homegrown pineapple fruit!<br />

In the meantime, on the original plants, each is creating a "pup". We have read that the original plants, being a type of bromeliad, will die now that they've created the fruit and now the pups. I hope not, but we'll soon see how that works. <br />
<br />
Here's the "pup" growing up at the bottom of the largest plant. It's a good size now already, so Farmer Lynn will probably be putting it in its own pot real soon, another ouch-ouch operation.<br />
<br />
<br />

And here's the pup we discovered just yesterday growing up within the other plant. I was glad to find it because we hadn't seen any signs of that one making a pup whereas the main plant is getting more and more yellow and floppy. The pup will have to grow quite a bit more before we'll be able to figure out how to separate it successfully from the main plant!<br />
<br />
Do try this yourself. It's a lot of fun -- if you're a plant person. Or a pineapple fruit lover. It's not difficult, just takes patience as it takes its time maturing.<br />

Farmer Lynn pulled up the dead corn stalks from the garden in preparation for putting the garden "to bed" for the winter. His younger son was here so they took a tomato cage, turned it upside down, and attached the corn stalks to the tomato cage. It then went onto the front porch along with straw bales and a pumpkin. <br />

<br />
Since I'm still recovering from 2008's multiple fractures and 2011's cancer, and now have "primary hyperparathyroidism" (don't know much about it yet) to deal with and get over, I have become interested in the principles of Feng Shui to help with healing in particular and energy in general. My bedroom in Winston is now painted a soothing Sherwin-Williams Creme and the bed is in soft pinks. I have always felt peace at the condo so I am not concerned about Feng Shui there. But the Yadkin house and yard, although also feeling very peaceful and soul-soothing to me, will be going through the Feng Shui process, beginning with the house. <br />
<br />
Mary Lea Bradford, <a href="http://www.havenscapes.com/">www.havenscapes.com</a>, is going to be involved in the yard "work" but I'm not ready to tackle that yet. I hope to make use of Louise Klein's help, <a href="http://www.windandwaterdesign.com/">www.windandwaterdesign.com</a>, with the inside. Until I can free up some funds for those wise women, I'm on a strictly DIY path with something I know nothing about! That's never stopped me before, and it's not stopping me now. So I read that clutter is definitely bad Feng Shui, bad energy. <br />
<br />
So I've been on a campaign to de-clutter. This is no easy task. Hahaha. I am good at clutter, making it, that is. Not anywhere near hoarder status, but a nice medium-size clutter maker. It is hard for me to throw things away. Fortunately Farmer Lynn does not coexist well with clutter and so he helps me with this "tendency". It does help that we are still moving this into this house and into place in this house, so as I look at items, I can think "ok, trash" or "ok, Goodwill" or "ok, freecycle this". I can also group like things together and realize when I have more than plenty and can do the trash/Goodwill/freecycle processing. Nowadays I hear that de-cluttering is called "space editing". Doesn't that sound much nicer? <br />
<br />
The second thing I've done is to look up Feng Shui and discover Bagua Mapping. I had never heard of this before. It has taken over my arranging of things.<br />
<img alt="bagua map" height="300" src="http://media-cache-ec6.pinterest.com/upload/286752701243494941_bHRPbwKK_f.jpg" width="400" />
<br />
<br />
There are roughly nine rooms in the Yadkin house and there are nine different Bagua Map parts, so figuring out what goes where, according to the Bagua Map, is easy. I can do what I can do, and then let those who know more about this rearrange things later! At least I ought to be in the general neighborhood, I figure (she says confidently). <br />
<br />
I find myself wanting to put lots of blues pretty much everywhere. A completely blue house would feel healing and peaceful to me. I have decided to go with that feeling, since it's so strong, and still put lots of blues around the house since it comforts me (and since it's my favorite color and Farmer Lynn's favorite color too). But I have been surprised at the nice effect that the other colors, the Bagua colorings, have on me as well. So this will take up some time in the short- and medium-range.<br />
<br />
One of the first things we did when we moved in was to get together sayings that we liked. Bible verses. Love sayings. Inspirational words. I really like the work of Mary Anne Radmacher, www.maryanneradmacher.net. She has beautiful drawings to go with her quotes.<br />
<br />
<img height="200" src="http://wp.appliedinsight.net/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/rsz_moments.gif" width="153" />I already had a few of hers framed and then I ordered a few more earlier this spring. So we hung those up as we found the right place for them. Recently I discovered Craft Cuts, <a href="http://www.craftcuts.com/">www.craftcuts.com</a>, that has vinyl lettering sayings that you can put right onto your wall -- no framing or nail holes. <br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.wmishops.com/magento/media/catalog/product/cache/42/image/300x/17f82f742ffe127f42dca9de82fb58b1/b/o/boy-6-lg.gif" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="130" src="http://www.wmishops.com/magento/media/catalog/product/cache/42/image/300x/17f82f742ffe127f42dca9de82fb58b1/b/o/boy-6-lg.gif" width="400" /></a>
<br />
I like quite a few of those, haha. There is a lot of beadboard here so I will have to find just the right spot for at least 2-3. You can also use their wooden letters to spell out whatever you want (see <a href="http://www.thehappierhomemaker.com/2012/08/family-room-accent-wall-with-a-giveaway.html#comment-853">http://www.thehappierhomemaker.com/2012/08/family-room-accent-wall-with-a-giveaway.html#comment-853</a>) but I'd have to really give that some thought. Those don't come easy for me. I really like hers though. While you're checking that out, join the raffle there. You could get a $30 gift certificate to Craft Cuts. If I won that, I'd check out their vinyl chalkboards and wall murals (for the man cave!) also. Otherwise, I'll have to wait a while to go any further. <br />
<br />
The Man Cave, by the way, on the Bagua Map is in the "career" spot. I'll have to read up on that more to see how that relates to what goes on in a man cave!<br />

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">The other bumper crop this year was sunflowers. Farmer Lynn planted the seeds in the garden originally, but soon afterwards we had a huge flooding rain that moved around a lot of the freshly-planted garden seeds. A </span><span style="clear: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">lot of the sunflowers ended up (downhill of course) in the reforesting area. They're hard to get to down there for us, but the birds will enjoy them. We do need to reach a few in order to save seeds for next year.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">The corn just didn't get enough water this year and the soil was so hard. It was still tasty though. These marigolds are from seeds that Farmer Lynn has planted, saved seeds, planted, saved seeds, for 18 years now. They're a very pretty color and add nice bunches of color to the garden and that whole side yard actually. </span><br />

But soon they showed their destructive side, scratching at the landscaped areas, throwing mulch out into the yard and uprooting small flowering plants. One of our goals was to cut down on the area to be mowed, so Farmer Lynn and Elder Son Chris had spent quite a while, and quite a few truckloads, building a mulched island around several of the trees and an old TV dish. They put the wrought iron settee and two chairs out there and it was a nice place to sit a spell. Plus it accomplished the intended purpose of cutting down on mower turns and passes in that area. Then the rooster led the chickens over there and they threw all of that out also. We'd really hoped to extend the mulched area over time to <u>really</u> cut back on the area to be mowed, but that was not looking possible with the free-ranging chickens scratching all into everything. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; text-align: start;">However, after only a couple of conversations with the neighbors, they put up a fence along the property line to contain the chickens. Voila! Problem solved. Much relief. And now Farmer Lynn and Elder Son Chris can work on the next phase of the landscaping of the south yard. Hoorah for fences!! And hoorah for nice Yadkin Yard neighbors!!</span></div>

Yellow squash, a watermelon, corn, and cooking tomatoes. The watermelon will need to ripen a while longer inside. <br />

But I'm going to break into the corn tonight or tomorrow morning. A lot of what he planted this year were heirloom seeds, from Baker Creek Heirloom Seeds.
<br />
<br />
Although the soil was broken up by about 7 passes with the tiller, it was & is still really hard red clay. That was all we could manage for this year and we were late getting that much done. Next year, we hope to have some compost mixed in, and then even more the following year. Gotta be patient there, little garden. But I think it's doing really well, especially<br />
for being the first year!<br />
<br />
Farmer Lynn has been bringing in a few sunflowers also. The birds will eat most of the seeds outside, and that's as it should be, but we need to save some too for next year. The sunflowers are so cheerful-looking.<br />
<br />

<br />
This year, because the garden didn't get the water it needed and deserved, and because the red clay didn't have many nutrients despite the Miracle Gro applications, the garden struggled. Farmer Lynn struggled to keep enough water out there to at least keep it all from dying. Squirrels took over the tomatoes as soon as they got remotely ripe. But we still had a good crop -- yay!!Sillyrabthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15004058994043450414noreply@blogger.com1
