Our five week, meandering trip included 2 single and one four day visit to Guncleland, where the family pitched in and rebuilt some of the fencing. While guys were busy sawing and hammering, I took some time to clean up the pathways, reset stepping stones, and spread mulch.
They replaced two gates and one length of fence, then added a privacy fence for trash cans and storage.
After a dozen years or so, the garden stones had all sunken down under the earth. So I un-earthed them and reset the pathways along one side of the house and the garbage can storage area too.
Which is where I found these! I felt like an archeologist, digging up ancient ruins. Apparently, they had been on the ground there, and like the stones, had worked their way deep down under the dirt.
But I preferred to think of them as from an earlier inhabitant of the land.
Our evenings were spent relaxing in the Guncles’ unique home with all eight of our combine canine family having some cousin time.
Oh and eating! There was lots of eating! That’s what you do when you go to Jax and visit the Gunks. They feed you endless, yummy, seafood. I thanked them with a pie.
But it wasn’t all manual labor and big meals. Randy and I took a mini road trip down to St Augustine to meet up with my sister, Bobbie who was visiting elsewhere in the state.
Where we met some interesting new friends.
In some cool places.
See what I mean? This steam punk store is a cool addition to George Street.
My favorite thing I saw downtown was this wallpaper in a shop.
Or was it this wallpaper?
No, my FAVORITE thing from the day was this. I love those two so much!
