Lost is Found......

I didn't know it was lost.  I had worked on the gate so it would open and close smoothly.  I was taking a shot through the slots and once the picture was taken I noticed an extra thing in the picture.  It does look like a great place to hang a hammer.  I have so many from my dad and brother that I don't usually miss any hammer when it gets misplaced.  This is one of my better hammers and I am glad that I found it.

If I were to frame this photo and place it in an art gallery I would named it 'Tennis Ball'.   Can you find the reason why?

The wooden pump created from barn boards is a creation of my own imagination.  I pump water through a hose into it so the water can come out of the spout to help in the filtering of the water in the fish pond.

More snow to come as school is being let out early.  A storm is approaching Iowa from Missouri.  We  had an inch or more of snow this morning that fell in the night.  So more is coming and then the wind will start to blow.  I think it will be a 12 hour siege before we will be able to leave our houses.
 
I am at school today being a sixth grade English teacher.  All sixth graders either as Literature students or English usage classes.  I will see them twice for each of the kinds of classes.  It gets to be a long day doing the same age group continually. But school is to be let out early today at 1:30 duty to the impending doom.  It is better to get the kids home before a storm rather during a storm.  I hope all are ok out there and thanks for stopping in today.
