A Summer Day in Bay View on Aug 27, 2011

The market was filled with wonderful people and stands of wonderful seasonal things.
I got the green and yellow beans, a portabella mushroom,
but mostly I visited with the friends I came to join there.

This was one of those picture perfect Wisconsin weather days
that we have been having many of:
not too hot or humid, sunny and
lovely.

darn-discovery of moss and mold on home shingles

Darn: i have moss and some mold on my asphalt shingles!

I have treated the moss and mold and hope see results .

Have any of you had this??
I sprayed it with diluted bleach and then did a little brushing?
I have been balancing out of a window or leaning "waaaaaay"
over from a second story back bedroom porch to get at this.
I am thrilled to say I am fit to do this.
Wish i had longer arms or
the courage to climb out on the roof
to be sure to spray more directly and saturate all fully.

i will continue to reapply and check with great hope
that i killed this nasty stuff before it kills my roof shingles!

my visit to the harley davidson museum

uncle mort aunt estelle me lisa david adam

It was wonderful to have #1 and #3 son visiting!

David came in with Lisa for many happy celebrations in the state and thus could also visit here with me! Adam has had many away weekends so it was also great he back to join us. As you see, my uncle and aunt are marvelous, and an inspiration as to how great being in one's 80's can be!...and yes i have hung in doors one of the many skulls I cleaned and display outside also.

Something ate my unharvested cabbage

oh my..every day i go out and tend my beloved barrel garden, waiting patiently to harvest what i care take.

yesterday all was well with the tomatoes, peppers, pattie squash, and my cabbage, as i dusted with bug-killer.
to my surprise, today i see something enjoyed a huge chunk from the cabbage that i was about to harvest.

well, i have it safely in the house and hope to enjoy what is left.
..and did the insect repellent per chance make my greedy-eater sick or dye?

:-) hope so!

The Jewish Museum exhibit about Mildred Fish Harnack

This August, The Jewish Museum is launching an exhibit about

Mildred Fish Harnack

—the only American woman killed on direct order of Adolph Hitler.

She was born in Milwaukee and went to University of Wisconsin Madison.

She was involved in the German Resistance group, The Red Orchestra.

This exhibit was designed by German artist Franz Rudolph Knuebel and relies on rubbings of the floor of the prison where Mildred was held and executed, and more.

I am facilitating a Teacher Workshop on the morning of August 11

to promote the exhibit and show teachers ways of using the exhibit and its materials with their classes. I will give them the opportunity to do art n this workshop,

utilizing the same rubbing technique that Knuebel employed.
