Christmas 2011

Photos from my trip to the Milwaukee Public Museum with my sister, as posted on August 26, 2014. I believe that we went to a Cleopatra exhibit and the Butterfly Garden.

This has been the background image on my phone for, oh, 3 years or so.

They put lights on the whale skeleton every Christmas.

Summer 2011 - Day 5

More photos from home.

The old outhouse in the new location, along with the other required junk in the yard, per Central Wisconsin Ordinance.

The garden and clothesline, looking southeast.

Part of the northern garden.

My mom and her flowers in the northern garden.

Looking west southwest at the barn, cowyard, and a big ol' pile of manure with squash growing on it. The burn pile used to be on the left side of the driveway (or drifeway, as we call it), per this photo, but it was removed.

Looking east from the same location as the photo above. The road is State Highway 13/34. There used to be larger trees here, apple trees, but they died, I guess.

Summer 2011 - Day 4

On this day, we moved the outhouse 20 feet away from its original location.

My mother prided herself in not having a dryer at this time. 

My dad, rigging the rope up around the outhouse.

The never-before-seen inside of the outhouse.

After the rope was rigged up, we used all of our strength to turn the tractor on and move it.

It turned out that we had to move the rope to a higher location.

On the north side of the house.

The shed and the barn, with my father walking between them.

Summer 2011 - Day 1

My day in Chicago.

The audio tour said these were outside temples to frighten the "enemies of Buddhism" and then said "be glad they on our side."

I thought about making this my phone background.
