Sticks and Stones

Went down to Tumblin Waters, old homeplace of the family, new homeplace of Heidi. Oliver the watchcat eyed me curiously before fleeing.

This is all that's left of the waterwheel at Tumblin Waters. I guess this reinforces what the three little pigs were trying to say,"build with stone, wood doesn't last!"

The waterwheel was built by Felton with help from Buddy and Chuck as teenagers, and we enjoyed it for many years, listening to and watching the water go round it, watching the icicles form, hanging off the wooden wheel.

Wonder when Heidi is going to rebuild the waterwheel?....
