David and Kim got married

Still liking each other after 19 years, David Zietlow and Kim Kuchon figured "why not?", and so they got their friends and family together and made impassioned professions of love out in public and now they are married. This idyllic scene was followed by music, dancing, eating, and drinking (with exceptional coleslaw!).

Carl's Harp

Carl Peverall with his most recent stone sculpture, titled "Harp." The stones are pinned together with steel rods. Carl builds the sculptures at home and then takes them apart and reassembles them at their final destinations.

How did this happen?

Bob Early sent me down Arbuckle Road to find this strange occurrence. How, one has to wonder, does a piece of tin roofing end up folded tightly over a branch fifteen feet off the ground?

Pizza Truck!

 We finally checked out the Hog Hollow Wood-Fired Pizza truck. They set up in Burnsville most Thursdays, but it's best to check their Facebook page. The pizza is good. Calling ahead to order is not a bad idea. 

Yup, they have a wood-fired oven in the truck.

A poor choice of a meal

Steve Hill sent this rather astonishing picture of the remains of what they think was an Eastern Fox Squirrel that clearly perished after taking a bite of an electrical wire. They found it in a heating duct.

Listen to the Spring

So Jeff wanted to make these large, nine-sided cones to use like giant ear trumpets. For listening to things. Here's Kenan cutting parts.

Component assembly.

It took some head scratching to find the best way to put these things together.

With several heads working together, we eventually figured it out.

Opal was relatively unimpressed.

The spectators were supportive.

Cosmo climbs.

Matt looks.

Brenda listens. (Dick took this one.)

Almost finished. (Jeff took this one.)

Jeff tries one out at the soccer field. (Gretchen took this one.)

A pair of listeners. (Dick took this one.)

They are waiting for you up at the soccer field. (Jeff took this one.)

Oh, right, you want to know if they work. Yeah, they work. You might say they create an enhanced acoustical space. You can hear stuff. It's really fun. They also work like megaphones if you feel like shouting.

Come listen to the spring
