Sandhill Cranes at the Maxwell Farm

September 3 - 6, 2004
The Maxwell Farm, Northern Illinois
The Occasion:  Nephew Chris and wife Rie's Second Wedding.
The Phenomenon:  A pair of Sandhill Cranes are regular visitors to Gram Maxwell's backyard and perimeter. 
The Experiment: Ted's learning how to capture single frames of the video he shot with his Handycam (whose power cord he finally found after searching three years for it--no comment, please).  It's tricky business and so far Ted has concluded that his Video Capture card (a necessary piece of hardware for this task) is probably too Cheap and he'll need to upgrade.  For now, here are four shots of a lone Sandhill Crane.

Welcome Back To Minnesota!
 
 
From my new residence in South Mineapolis:
 
 

I spent 16 years in basement apartments in Washington, DC.  The last place was a sub-sub-basement with very little daylight/sunlight, ever.  I didn't mind then--it was completely private (no neighbors on either side or below) and I could work undisturbed, so what if I can't see anything without an electric light on, day or night...
 
Well, I now reside on the second floor of a house owned by friend Doug here in Minneaoplis.  It's really an Attic, but Doug did a complete remodeling of it (white walls, wood floors)--a great job. 
 
The first thing I noticed, however, is all of the Vaulted Ceiling areas--I've been bumping my skull just about everywhere!  I've put up Stickies galore saying "Watch Your Head!", but I've gpt fresh bumps, still.  This is going to take some getting used to.

I really should have taken some "Before" pics of this place = boxes piled high in the middle of the Main Room.  My first priority was to establish a Computer Station and I did that in good time, but everything else was a disorganized heap.  It remained so for several weeks, until...
Last Sunday, I'm told, was a Full Moon.  Must have been because I was grabbed by some sort of Spirit to, all of a sudden, do a Clean Sweep of the place.  Whoa Nellie, I was a Whirlwind!  Thus, here are a couple of shots of my "Better Homes and Gardens" layout (thank you, Doug, for the wicker chairs and table).

Yes, 16 years in Basements in DC.  Flooded 5 different times. The Natural Lighting in the last place was hardly any at all = I tried and tried to grow and maintain Plants, but failed every time--depressing. 
 
Then, I come here: Windows everywhere (icluding Dormers)!  Sunlight/Daylight streaming through at all angles!  It's truly Inspiring!  I now see what I was missing all those 16 years ago.
 
And there was One Lone Plant up here when I moved in.  The last tenant must have left it.  It's a common indoor plant whose name I've forgotten, but it's become My Friend and I its (grammer, anyone?):
 
I 'spritz' it every day ( a little rainshower to freshen things up), I'm cautious about over-watering (a common demise of houseplants) and I talk to it and promise I'll do my best to keep it alive and well. 
 
I love having another Living Thing in my Home.  I've been too long without one.
