| Had to cut the yard this morning,been a while due to the grass wasnt growing,finally got some rains last week. Had a guy cut our yard but this year I bought a riding mower,least Im outside. I like starting a carving in the mornings so the yard mowing cut into that time. This little old man was just something to do. Hes 1/4{his hat} wide x 3/8 inches tall.Carved from a chunk of the old ironing board pine leg. Your thoughts are always welcome. Thks' Forrest
