When the summer heats up I am always on the look out for cool summer tops. I made this top from a vintage pillow case! I love the print and the lightweight fabric. A few rows of elastic smocking at the top makes it super comfy and adds just the right detail.

This is part of the vintage treasure repurposed into a planter series I featured on my blog www.poetichome.com
A grain silo that was recently repurposed as an office complex in Schoen place along the Erie canal in Pittsford NY.
Shot taken from parking lot shared with another repurposed structure, the Village Coal Tower restaurant (since 1976).
You can see the silo in R.I.T.'s Big Shot #24. At the time the renovation was in progress and only some of window cutouts can be seen in the concrete tower.
#4482 - 2020 Day 99: Was once bedroom, then usually Carolyn's therapy room. Now, in times of isolation, it is our yoga studio ...
I have to stop and check out every converted bus I see now. This Thomas rear engine was in the parking lot.
I styled repurposed vintage elements into spooky Halloween decor ideas....as blogged about on www.PoeticHome.com
I spent just about the whole weekend in the yard - cleaning and gardening. Trimmed my lilac bush for 2 hours yesterday (it now looks like this again). Clutching trimmers that long means every muscle in my hands hurt bad.
This cooler was Jeff's and he was going to toss it when he moved here (bottom is rusty and leaks) but I told him I wanted it. Good thing too - it's a cute planter for some begonias.
The long, narrow spaces were the most challenging! I split some photos into two, three or four parts for a little twist.
LTEX works on locomotives at this facility in McDonald, Ohio, that was once used by a steel mill railroad.
The first of three patchwork jean scarves I am making for my nephews for Christmas. They are lined with fleece, very soft and warm. My son really likes the pocket.

This weekend was supposed to be an adventure that involved Rose and me going to Floatzilla with my husband. We found a dog sitter for Fable and Rose was one happy girl. There was a chance of rain and storms, but we went anyway. As we pulled up and went to the check in booth, they announced that a serious storm cell was five minutes out and for everyone to get out of the water. At least we didn't have any gear unloaded. If there's one thing Rose doesn't like, it's a thunderstorm, but she handled it really well. We never got the kayaks out, but she got a day with just us and that made her a happy girl. Of course today, the weather was perfect.

An old 1913 schoolhouse in rural Warren County, Ohio has a new purpose in life. These days it is the "Plain Folk Cafe". I'll bet the beer atmosphere are outstanding.

What do you do with an old school bus? Well at Hillbilly Hotsdogs outside of Huntingdon, Cabell County, WV you make it the platform for outside eating.
Did you know the New York and Greenwood Lake Railway used to serve much of the North Jersey area years ago? Based in Passaic NJ, freight and passenger service would be provided along the now defunct Pompton Line. The line used to branch off the current Montclair Boonton Line in Wayne, intersect the NYSW at Pompton Junction, and continue up to Greenwood Lake and Ringwood NJ. All thats left is some trackage where the Totowa Industrial track is, at Pompton Junction where the NYSW meets the Tilcon quarry, and the rest is just old right of way. Here the equipment is officially moved out of NJ via an NYSW move from PC yard in Saddle Brook to Lackawaxen, PA. Two CSX geeps bring the entire deadline of engines, cars and coaches past the old Erie Railroad station in Port Jervis, NY. Both the station and equipment have now been repurposed, with the station renovated and housing a few local shops for the town center, and the equipment being soon used for the Operation Toy Train organization. There is also word that the turntable and equipment in Port Jervis will be turned into an official museum.
When some cut flowers, displayed in a drink bottle, are no longer soft and colorful, I'm reminded that I need to use my macro lens more often.

Never been posted from the files of March, 2010. This may have been a Dairy Queen or Der Wienerschnitzel, I'm not sure. Let me know if you know, please.

The Portland Camera Club resumes next month and an assignment was to bring a print to the first meeting and the category is 'doors and windows';. I am not sure if that means doors or windows or both in one photo. This is one of a few photos for this first meeting of the new season. This was taken at the farm of a classmate of mine in Minnesota. We were there for a 55th reunion picnic. He has a large farm on the shore of Bass Lake. Comments are always welcomed by me.
Coincidentally there is also a fence in the photo that is around the horse pasture.
