Hello Autumn

The Gacha Garden is still going strong and it seems Autumn/ Fall is in the air. Not only in SL but for the USA as well. While I love the colors af the season..I hate the temperature it brings…brrrrr. I actually had this shot set up last week, but needed another operation to finally end my 2 years of constant pain. Towards the end I really couldn’t focus on much. I couldn’t focus on doing what I love doing in SL.
Landscaping and taking photo’s have been my relief from my Fathers death and my own experience with cancer of the last few years. Its a place I can come to leave all my problems at the door.
When I ran a Carpenters crew I always had a ” worry tree” that I would bring everyday to work and in our daily meeting thats where i wanted my team to leave all of they’re worries from home life. I was responsible for these men and needed them to concentrate on the task at hand. I would get the crews going and leave that tree in the center of the work site. Somedays the tree didn’t last very long, as it was thrown branches and leaves broke off. Somedays I brought home something that looked like the Charlie Brown Christmas Tree..but..I would set that on my front door..and shake the shit out it right after. I taught my children this as well. I wanted home to be like my job site..free of anything that would effect beyond that door.
Art has always been a very important part of my life in one form or the other. It fascinates me what one can do with the colors the world around us provides.I think now might be the time for me to concentrate on that in RL.
My Fathers estate is somewhat settled now and while it didn’t turn out as expected My siblings and I can rest assured that whatever ” junk” we want from his barns and things we can now go thru. We have all been thru so much and have been able to get practically nothing…but..we have his ” junk”. We had planned on donating most of his land to the forest preserve so that a park could have been named after him so his legacy would live on,but are unable to do so now. With the final judgement we got none of that. My plan is now to take his “junk” and make something of that. I have a lot to learn as far as welding…I know I can do it. I want to make something for everyone in the family something, something fishing and outdoor related. Then take a bit more and make something for the county after my Stepmother makes her move and sells it. Perhaps I can get them to at least display it at the entrance to the park.
With all the wonderful creature here in Sl I plan on drawing some of my inspiration from them. I don’t believe I will ever be able to work again…only God and time know that answer so this will also become my RL income. I have worked my whole life..and worked hard..but still don’t like the idea of not contributing what I time have left to turn my Father’s ” junk” into a legacy of his own making. Most I will donate game and wildlife centers, parks and then some I will sell so that maybe one day I will be able to leave my mark on this world. You can’t take your money with you, but physical things are here for eternity.

There is one other thing I assure of at thats the quality of all this ” junk” so make sure ya stop by the event and leave your mark on SL.
