I taught the kids how to tie a bowline, so now when we go on a walk they a practicing on anything we pass. I think this dock had a rope tied to just about every hand rail and post they could reach.
Everyone needs to know how to tie at lease one good knot. I just hope they don’t decide to tie each other up with their new skill.

I pass this house every time I go to the grocery store. I can’t remember when I noticed that is was empty but I do remember that at one point the front yard had neatly trimmed grass, not the start of a small forest. I this one would look nice in black and white.
If you’re keeping count this day four of my new “35 at 35” project.

The Oak Island Water Rescue had our monthly business meeting last night. The topic of know how to tie a bowline knot came up and the next thing we know the assistant chief came out with two ropes for the members to practice tying.

I used that practice to come up with the idea for the photo below.

Next I’m going to be working on tying a bowline with one hand.

I’m and big fan of coffee! I usually make my own cup to go every morning in a french press, I know fancy schmancy. But this morning I had to stop to get my caffeine fix and pick more ground coffee, because the “cupboard was bare.”
I took that opportunity to photograph the smiling face of one of our local barista at Jumping Java. Thank you for being there for us coffee addicts.
