2-26-2012- no particular place to go. 

         sometimes me and mom head out on a drive with no particular place to go. together in the old expedition we decide in a spur of moment left or right , north or south . east or west is determined same way and we veer one way and another till we end up at our no particular place to go. sometimes we intentionally head out to some places, like the the barn in smithville ,ohio. this will give you some information about an enjoyable dining experience. made even more enjoyable by the barn itself . the care and decoration of the grounds glorifying the barn is in some ways a testament to farming. well done displays of floral arrangements brighten the wayne co. countryside. 

      farm memorabilia adorn the inside and outside of the barn demonstrating the kinds of machinery employed by farmers in their everyday tasks to provide food for not only their table but instead to serve the multitudes of people dinners on their respective tables. their christmas decorating is beyond anything you could imagine giving the grounds a storybook look. nice getaway if you have no particular place to go.

      next up is a garden cart i thought was interesting . imagine the large front wheel would be nice to maneuver over large clods of dirt. while at same time giving you a portable table to hold items of need:  shears , hand shovel, berry boxes, water, pots, you name it, could be stored on either top shelf or in box underneath. maybe a step stool, and an umbrella to shade the days sun. this would be a welcome addition especially when in garden would be nice to have something help you up or give your back a break. sit down grab a swig of water and put up umbrella to shade your self , and a case beer as in my old drinking days i would have been out there all day. 

         this is a building i found when we were headed out with no particular place to go. just getting off the main route . driving the road less traveled , so in off the beaten path, ohio . we came across this neat little storefront reminiscent of by gone days . we talked as if it would be neat to move it home, but totally out of question as it would be easier to make a copy . any how i grabbed a shot . it would be just about the right size for a carving shop . but then i would have to carve to fill it up. keep picking the wrong jobs . to bad i couldn't find something to do with air bubbles or something light. no i have to play with chainsaws. to be able to do anything is a blessing , compared to those less fortunate. so will count my blessings. 

      and again i want to include this bench /table , which i thought was a neat idea and will be made and i will try to post complete plans . also 2 of these benches could be placed back to back to create a large picnic table. and with them doubling as benches can be separated and easily stored next to wall under eves of building. anyhow the reason i entered this again so soon is that spring is coming soon , and it was also because again i was driving around intheboonies , new york, when i found this bench on a no particular place to go day. the bench and the garden cart  are 2 must haves for this summer for me.
