Can You Guess? Knowing ME...you should

On one of my walk-abouts, I finished my step count, then on the return to the car I stopped frequently along the trail and broke off many many wild grass seed shoots! I collected a good handful with one intention in mind when I got home. Bud had a walking stick he started making long ago and never finished, I talked him into letting me use it for a project with the jute, grass and his walking stick. So over the weekend, just a couple hours' work involved; I finished. I also learned something from Bud...he being the Navy dude of yesteryear, and watching him tie this many, many, times. And, that is Bitter End. The terminology came about when I asked him how I wrap the jute around the grass to hold it onto the wooden staff. Bitter End...means to [in nautical lingo] "bitt end" which refers to the final part of anchoring a line [or rope] at the end of the bollards/or bitts to which the line is tied. There is a way to do it to make it solid and not able to slip loose. This is what I did to the jute with his tutelage ...

Okay, I am sure you guessed.

I made a primitive, very simple witch's broom... I left the wood unfinished, and set the clock at the 'witching hour' of midnight, removing the battery. Yes, we already hung it up way before Halloween 'cause I didn't want the grass to drop seed in the garage and get tracked in everywhere; all over the house, nor allow the cat to find it and maybe get sick gnawing on it all. Even if I were to store it in the garage, he climbs all over in there, he'd be sure to find it. It's up now, not within his reach; out of Isaiah's way.
