GREAT IS THE ENEMY OF GOOD

A Wonderful Day in Photos

Dirtsmith, October 16, 2023October 22, 2023
My best friend. It’s been months.

Pebbles!

Avarice / Dilemma

Chores

Setting the Post / Applied Nautical Technology

Dusted Out (note Applied Nautical Technology – guy wire stabilization)

Free Second-Hand Mixer (Refurbished by Ironhorse) / Stabilizing Form with Concrete

That’s what you want to see!

Post Set in Concrete / Added Rubble

Dinner / Sacred Origin

Cozy Company

The Daily Stone

Provenance – Found amongst a whole mess of pebbles in the road. I was sorely tempted to disregard my discipline and take only one. These are common landscape stones (see the photo towards the top – “Avarice”) but I like them because they can be pretty and flat and round, and you can Dremel a hole through the center and make beads out of them. And they were on the ground and I found them so they technically met my requirements. But it didn’t quite feel right. Then I glanced over and noticed that several barrels that blocked the street were covered in these stones. These had just been swept off the top of one of them somehow. I could feel the magic tangibly ebbing away. But I could still choose one from amongst those on the ground, and I liked this one.
