Bridge to my shop

I am going to take you on a tour of my environment so you can get an idea of who I am and what I do every day. I live in the middle of a small town (about 60,000) on one third acre which has a ditch running diagonally through it. I love this ditch, it divides my home side from the shop/garden/studio side. The racoons and possoms love the ditch also. I built this bridge years ago and it is the strongest thing I have ever built. It is an arched steel structure and concrete then a veneer of slate. I cross it every moring, coffee in hand, to "go to work"! Tomorrow I will show you what I see on the other side.

Where I Work

This is my shop! I showed you mine, I want to see yours! I have a great shop/studio in my backyard surrounded by my garden, about a million flowers it seems and my tomato plants.

These photos are "the old days" about a year ago, before I discovered the cancer. Now mostly I work on "little art" and try to get better at painting. I love the strength and weight and permanency of steel but for now the neuropathy in my hands won't allow me to work with it.

But I am getting stronger every day, so, soon, I hope!
