Part 1: "Providere and Expressing Imagination"
”Having Depth of Foresight….” ....having depth of foresight, and the ability of preparation, gives me the understanding that as i look ahead, to that which is seen….so shall my yet be’s, be! Being busy as a beaver, as I gnaw on bits and pieces of ‘wood art’, which in my mind are just as clear, as when I reach out and take hold of that piece of wood in the flesh. And so I thought that I would post another project that is now in the works. Now tha...
Part 2: "Providere"
”Providere” ....and so i now come to an update on the progress of such a one, such as this….’my providere…. And so this story begins in the early days of our country, long before the times of Greene and Greene, (and I am meaning no disrespect here at all) when our carpenters of colonial days were fresh of the boats and in a new world. These carpenters were shipwrights who had come to the new world and now found much use for their talents in ‘the land ...

Part 6: Providere's Leg Update....
Providere’s Leg Update…. ....and then some! Well this past week has been a busy one for me around here.

Time to break out the gasoline pump and start pumping, old connected cape houses (1778), old dug cellars and bad grading can sure be a problem at times in the spring. What with water run off from spring rains and mud seaso...
