A very special package was delivered here yesterday.
It was like Christmas on June 3rd.
Don did a wonderful job of working with a western metal artist in Chino Valley, Arizona to design our entrance sign.
It was right about now I decided to put the camera down to help Don. The sign weighs 56 pounds!
We got that sucker up there though. Of course I worried about Don being up so high on the ladder…
But all was well in the end. Naturally, we then started analyzing who we thought was who on the sign…
Nevertheless, life is good. ♥

That is so stinkin’ cool I can barely stand it. And Bernard leading the herd with his neck stretched out…well, isn’t that so like him? Very ingenious way Don devised to haul it up there, too.

I love it! Now you need a matching weather vane with a donkey instead of a rooster on it!
I am going to check out the metal artist’s site.
They did a beautiful job. I admire people who make handcrafted items. Their is so much work and skill that goes into each piece.
Have a great weekend.
