hey everyone... muh parents were here over the weekend, no time to Freep...
got alot of decorating done... hung an old musket my uncle had up on the beams, along with the tomahawk that osage gifted me... also hung two saws, a two-man crosscut and a buck saw that my great grandfather used... hung 'em with hooks made by a Blacksmith in Bentonsport, IA.
the musket is a .68 cal U.S. govt model, with a very faint U.S. and makers mark stamped on the barrel... the initials "WZC" are roughly carved in the butt... somebody laquered the entire gun a ways back, which has ruined any collector's value, but it looks good on the beam...
had tuh grade and repair the lane after the gully washers we had last week... took me almost 3 hours...
food plots are comin' up nicely... 16 more days till bow season...
corin; good snaig...
osage; our cannas is about 2 1/2' tall, but no blooms... musta done somethin' wrong...
And mrs. nad let you leave all that stuff hanging around? :)
evening re: cannas, well, they do need a lot of sun, the height isn't a problem, some were a short variety others medium and some tall. The ones we have blooming are from the latter to, our short ones haven't come on either.
re the musket, well, if you're so inclined, have it checked out. Use about 70 grains of FFg, musket caps and a patched .670 cast round ball and you're in business.
