Efficiency or, A Dual Post

First, it's Themed Thursday again over at my friend Cari's blog Clan Donaldson and this weeks theme is Hats or Scarves.  You should definitely go and check it out!

I bet you weren't aware but I had already deemed 2013 to be the Year of the Scarf.

I have agabazillion of them.  They're my fashion statement since I have a skull shaped like the alien from the movie "Alien".  It's true.  Ask my Beloved.  Which, of course, means I can't pull of wearing hats.  So sad.

This here is just a sampling of them, these are the ones that I've left at the front door.  As an added bonus my Beloved's hats.  He has a hat thing and wears one every day, I have a scarf thing and wear one every day.  We're weird but content.

Without further ado my submission:

Auto Focus ('cause I'm mostly lazy)
My first attempt at cross-processing

Second, The Farmhouse.

Fannie Mae (the bank that owns my lovely home) sent out an inspector last Friday to look at everything that was in our addendum.  He agreed with everything that our inspector said needed to be fixed in order for the house to be structurally sound.  He told our agent that he would be getting contractors out this week to get bids to submit to the Asset Manager.

Still waiting.  I hate waiting.  

In the meantime I have a lot of pics that I took which I'll have to parse out in small increments.  Today's installment - The Dairy Barn:

I love, love, love that you can tell they're tree trunks & can see the actual tree  rings

The Chicken Coop:

It, like everything else, needs work but hey it's already built AND has a run, woot!

And lastly, a gratuitous bird picture I snapped last weekend just because I like it!
