I’ve been calling it “The Pole Cozy”, mostly. My goal was to have it done for the Winters Outdoor Quilt Festival, and I waited until a week before the event to start it, but I got it done. I haven’t seen it get much attention, but hopefully it will, and hopefully it will stay up for a long time!

I was so proud of my swing. I even learned fancy knots for tying it safely to the tree. I enjoyed using it and so did other folks. For about two weeks, that is, until I went there one day and found my rope swing to be disappeared and several of these stupid signs in its place. I know its private property and all, but I’m still pissed.

school next door to our house, until it closed all its gates to the
public. Then we took him to the little league field 2 blocks down, along
with a lot of other dog owners and it became the unofficial dog
park of Winters. Then they remodeled the dog park and now it has
a new sign:
No Dogs Allowed On Field Sign

I guess I shouldn’t complain because within a 10 minute walk from our
house is this:
Field 0.5 miles from house

But I know that someday this field will be developed into more homes,
and right now all the dog owners like me are just trespassing on who
knows whose land, and it would be great if there was a legitimate
off-leash place for dogs to exercise in Winters. Ahem.

because they offer the state rate! Can you believe it?! The unfortunate
part is that we were so busy prepping for our field tour the next day
that we didn?t have a spare moment to enjoy the W’s amenities, including the “beach” (see pics below), the fancy bar(s), or even just relaxing in our own room, which was wonderful itself.

This is really cheesy, and I shouldn’t be so excited but somehow I am. In the interest of keeping it totally anonymous, I probably shouldn’t be posting about it here, but I’m not telling you which one is mine. Of course anyone who knows me will know exactly which one is mine, and that’s fine with me. :) Check it out: http://www.anonymouspostcard.org/detail.php?recordid=177
