Well it's time for another update from the Sandbox. All is well here, just hot. The temp at one point was 106 yesterday. No complaints though. I am getting used to the temps. I guess that is good.
A couple of things before we get to the title of the post. I was walking back to my b-hut on Friday evening and walked by the Chapel. I heard a choir singing so I stopped to listen. They were practicing I guess for this weekend but the music was beautiful. There was a soloist and man could she sing. I just stood there and listened. It made me sad for home. I would love to sit in church on Sunday morning and listen to the choir. I guess I will have to wait till Christmas when I come home.
I woke up this morning to the sound of airplanes flying over. I think they were about five feet above my hut. They were loud this morning. Sometimes they seem to be right outside. Today is cleaning day in the hut. You have to dust and put things in their place every once in a while or the walls start to close in on you. These rooms in the b-hut are pretty tiny. I put a new Auburn flag in my room. The sad part is I do not have any walls big enough to hang a flag so I had to put it on my ceiling. It is a great way to wake up every morning looking at the BIG AU above my bed.
Now on to the title of the post. I have decided to name the creatures wood names, thus the "Forest". There will be Boxwood, Sapwood, Basswood, Tiger Wood, etc., and of course Burl. I have to decide which one is which. There are 13 of the little creatures now. Check out my Facebook page to see pictures. I posted a new photo album showing all of them. I now have to build some shelves to display them all on. I think that will be a project for this afternoon. I haven't built anything in a while and I am about to have withdrawals. If I were at home I know that my better half would have me building something. Maybe just fixing something. But it would be building in my mind.
Well I am being called to go to lunch by some of my friends. And, yes I have friends over here. So I will go for now.
Till next time from the Sandbox. War Eagle!
Just 106? That's easy temps. Wait until you hear about people's shoes melting...that's craziness. Glad to see that you're doing some carving. It's definitely good to have a hobby over there. It helps the time go by and is a good outlet. I wish I had time to carve here, but the days seem to be over before I know it.
ReplyDeleteHopefully you get to catch at least one or two Auburn games.
