Man-Made Wonders Amid the Wonder of Nature
When we took our recent road trip to Blue Ridge Parkway in October, the beauty of Autumn that you see in those colored trees was not the only thing that amazed me. The many tunnels that we passed through was unbelievable. I think there were ten or more of them – the first time that I have seen so many.
And they are not just tunnels. They are created in such a beautiful way, blending in with the topography and I do wonder how they did that. They probably had to use numerous welding supplies plus a bountiful energy of manpower to finish those. There were short ones, and there were also long ones which echoed whenever you passed through them. That was really amazing. I do hope we will be able to visit again in the future.
One Man’s Trash is Another’s Treasure
Today, the husband continued the project that he had started a month ago, and that’s building the planter in our front yard. The weather and our recent vacation prevented him from finishing it before summer began, and he’s still not finished; he’ll continue doing it, and hopefully finish, next weekend.
I think I will be able to start planting by winter. LOL. But I do know it’s not an easy job. All the tools in his tool shed were scattered everywhere when I checked on him earlier. The industrial bearings that he brought home from work were scattered on the floor. I don’t know where he’s going to use them, but he said he thought of picking them up after his boss man put them into the trash, saying they didn’t fit anything at the factory anymore. He thought that maybe he could use them in some future project here at the house. I do hope his company’s trash will be his treasure. (“,)
