Fish Stick



The great fisherman.
Them fish just jump onto the sticks!

River Walk

Yesterday was a beautiful day in Muscatine.
So I went for a walk along the river.
And took my camera along for good measure.
 Lots of other people had the walk idea.
Or run.
Or ride.
But I was the only one I saw out shooting eagles.
 Ba gawk!
 Shreik!
Find the eagles in this photo.

Giant Mark Twain

Giant Mark got a little addition on Friday.
 
Yes, his neck looked a little cold in that big entryway.



 Putting that scarf up wasn't all that easy...
Giant Mark is aptly named.
 
He needed to be dusted,
fluffed,
and finally dressed.
Even the tallest ladder wasn't quite tall enough.
So, thank goodness for convenient balconies,
good balance,
long broomhandles,
and clothes hooks.
 
The goal was to make the scarf about 12' long.
Even with last minute speed knitting and long fringes,
I think the total length ended up being somewhere around 10'.
It made a good serape, too.
