Village Life

A dip in the pool

This Grizzley is as hot as I am but he took a dip in the pool to cool off. The temperatures have been boiling which makes it nice for people that have a pool or are at the park but not for seniors who are stuck inside like it's the middle of winter. Of course I forgot to mention that the bear has on a big fur coat.....lol

Cooled Off

 It is so darn hot today! Wishing that I was in with the penguins at the Detroit Zoo. They sure look cool enough. Someone told me that for $200 you can go right in with the Penguins. Little pricey for me but I would surely cool off and have a nice visit....wonder if they would let you feed them.

 Here I am......ready to get my picture took.

 This is my best side.

You first....

Happy Labor Day

Wright Brother's house at Greenfield Village

Hollyhock #2

Hollyhock

Daggett Farmhouse

 This farmhouse was built in 1769 in Connecticut and later moved to Greenfield Village. It is a Saltbox style house. When we visited there as well as the Firestone Farm, the ladies were just finishing cleaning up after lunch. The fire was going and it was hot in the kitchens. Behind the house is a raised bed vegetable garden but no barn or out buildings.

 Door to windmill

 Split rail

 Wood chopper.....interesting way to stack the logs so air can circulate and dry the wood.
