While I was in the asylum /metal institution (Clinton Valley Michigan) I was forced to paint the simplest of things like my chair, I didn't realize at the time how bizarre it looked until the next morning,it was perhaps because of all the different drugs they were pumping into me, I have no idea what were their names or even how to pronounce them, all I knew was the way things looked was sometimes enjoyable and other times frightening,While the doctors told me I couldn't paint after lights out,I still manage to paint sometimes with good results, the thing that really bothers me to this day is I never did get all my paintings back from the staff, which is close to a hundred I would guess.now that Im free from that place of horrors, cured I guess, but I think its more because of budget cuts the institution has since closed ,and now I'm on the streets with a small apartment that I share with spiders and other creepy things that eat my flesh at night while I try to sleep on a bed with nightmares still tearing me every which way but loose,everything is good as long as I have my paints, more asylum paintings to come, take care Steve H. p.s. Carl Jung said that it was his duty as a psychologist to help men of genius to keep their neuroses. That’s fine for the psychologist, and fine for the world that revels in the stuff that geniuses come up with. But is it quite so jolly for the genius, and his dear ones? hell if I know. just be happy your not locked up being observed.

Baddesley Clinton is a 15th century moated manor house, located near the historic town of Warwick. The original house was probably established sometime in the 13th century, though the present house dates from the 15th century. The site is a Scheduled Ancient Monument and the Hall is a Grade I listed building.
In 1438, John Brome, the Under-Treasurer of England, bought the manor. It then passed to his son, Nicholas, who is thought to have built the east range, which is the main entrance. The house from this period was equipped with gun-ports, and possibly a drawbridge. When Nicholas Brome died in 1517, the house passed to his daughter, who married Sir Edward Ferrers (High Sheriff of Warwickshire) in 1500. The house remained in the ownership of the Ferrers family until 1940. The estate was sold in 1980 to the National Trust, which now manages it.
The house has extensive formal gardens and ponds, with many of the farm buildings dating back to the 18th century. Inside the house, the interiors reflect its heyday in the Elizabethan era, when it was a haven for persecuted Catholics - there are three priest's holes.
I'm unclear about this being labeled " Ms. & Mrs. Jimmy Clinton." I would think it references Clinton as the "Pothead" so the "B" is for Bill and the "H" for Hillary. M T Liggett's faces and totems are always intriguing. He does have a thing for tongues.

CN's Clinton Local came to Springfield on a sunny Saturday with a pair of rebuilt ex-Oakway SD60's. After dropping a car for the Illinois & Midland, they communicated with the CN Desk 2 RTC stating that their Airline work had been cancelled and they needed to head south to Contech. That industry is the southern most place to switch on the Gilman District (before the end of track at the Crown 3 Mine in Farmersville). CN 5475 South rumbles across the CN Connection switch at Brickyard in Springfield.
It is hoped in the near future fresh traffic will polish the Gilman District from the KCS at least north of Brickyard.For the time being, the three times a week visit by L554 from Clinton will have to suffice.

Baddesley Clinton is a moated manor house with a long history, best known for being a sanctuary for Catholic priests during the Reformation. The estate has been home to the same family, the Ferrers, for over 500 years, and much of the current house was built by Henry Ferrers in the late 1500s.
The site was originally a clearing in the Forest of Arden known as "Badde's Ley" after an Anglo-Saxon settler named Baeddi. After the Norman Conquest, it was granted to Norman noblemen, eventually passing to the de Clinton family in the late 13th century, at which point the name became Baddesley Clinton.
The estate changed hands several times until it was acquired by John Brome in 1438. His son, Nicholas Brome killed the local priest he found flirting with his wife, legend has it that the murder took place in the Library, and the blood spains are still visible on the fireplace hearth. As penance, Nicholas built the towers of the local St. Michael's church and the nearby Packwood Church, known as the "Towers of Atonement".
In 1517, the house passed to the Ferrers family, who owned it for 12 generations and nearly 500 years. n the 1590s, the famous Jesuit carpenter Nicholas Owen build several secret "priest holes" around the property to hide persecuted priests.
The last private owners were Thomas Ferrers-Walker and his wife Undine, who restored the house in the mid-20th century. Their son eventually transferred the property to the National Trust in 1980, ensuring its preservation for the public. Today, the moated manor house is a Grade I listed building and a Scheduled Ancient Monument.
A moated farmstead was built at Baddesley Clinton in the 13th century when large areas of the Forest of Arden were cleared. The manor house as seen today dates from the 1438 when the estate was bought by John Brome, Under Treasurer of England. Brome and his son Nicholas made substantial improvements to the house and is thought to have built the east range, which is the main entrance.
The property then passed by marriage to the Ferrers family where it remained for the following 500 years until 1940. An influential member of the family Henry Ferrers, known as 'the Antiquary', was responsible for many changes and embellishments to the house. He built the great hall in around 1580 and added most of the panelling and chimney pieces. Henry Ferrers was the first of his family to suffer for his Roman Catholicism. The remote house became a refuge for recuscant catholics in the late 16th century and it has three priest holes. The Ferrars were fined heavily for their religious beliefs. During the Civil War they were further impoverished by their support of the king.
This lack of funds meant that Baddesley Clinton survived almost unchanged. In the 18th century further alterations were made and the stable and barnyard were constructed. A formal entrance courtyard was also added in the south-east corner. Following this period the property fell into decline and neglect.
The upturn in Baddesley's fortunes occurred in 1867 when the house was occupied by an artistic extended family. Marmion Edward Ferrers married the artist Rebecca Dulcibella Orpen and for financial reasons they were joined at Baddesley by Rebecca's aunt Lady Chatterton, a well-known romantic novelist and her husband Edward Dering. All four loved the antiquity of the house and they carried out a sympathetic renovation of the building preserving its character.
Today the house still retains its medieval atmosphere. In 1980 Baddesley Clinton passed from the Ferrers family into the care of the National Trust. The ancient park is set in a remnant of the Forest of Arden and has extensive formal gardens, ponds and a lake walk.

The area lakes and pools are packed with swimmers, boaters and sun lovers - summertime is here! Nancy is happy in her garden and I'm exploring country roads which have eluded me up to now and finding new photo locations!
Unfortunately, the trip to Cottonwood Falls has been cancelled. It was accidentally left off the advertising and this led to confusion. We'll make the trip at the end of summer when the grassland will be golden brown. Just visit the website at www.wolfes.com and select "Picture My Kansas" for information. Come join Nancy and I for the seminars and tours of Clinton Lake, Baker Wetlands and the "Ghost Towns" tour. It will be a fun summer!
