A Pair of Trebuchets

I think the people at Hunters Farm do a pumpkin toss each fall using the two trebuchet’s above. I think it would be fun to witness a pumpkin toss in person  using this medieval device. The atomic bomb of the Middle Ages. There are a few sites online devoted to sharing plans on how to build one and kits for sale.

Mood on the River

A section of blue sky reflected in the river. The mood along the river seemed to change suddenly.  A partially cloudy morning turned into a steel-gray morning with the wind causing ripples on a calm river. Despite a few garbage cans close by  trash seems to accumulate. To me the cement blocks are more of a reminder of an earlier time when pollution of every sort could be found in and around the Duwamish River.
