I’ve been building a table. I’ve shown you pics in “Project” and “Unfazed”. I’ve continued… trying to figure out five steps ahead of myself as well as upside down and backward. I’m not exaggerating. I had to figure out how to get my legs attached and put on the apron and level the top, all…

Project
School started this week, it’s so hard to believe summer is just about over. I’ve been wanting to build a little table for my dining room for two summers now, so I was determined to do it before winter hits! I also didn’t want to have to buy any materials for it… although I did…
Walking Bridge II
(continued from yesterday’s post) So the platform was partly in the creek, next I’d have to get in the water and man handle the new bridge into place. I am bummed that this is only a temporary little bridge. I will have to pull it out before the creek rises in the spring, but since…
Walking Bridge
Well, I’ve thought for years that I needed a bridge down across Little Canyon Creek. I can go on a walk and stay on this side of the creek and yes, I can cover a fair amount of country… but the other side of the creek has always been greener. There may not be lots…
Day Three
Well, of course there are other things I’ve done today… like defrosting my freezer, reorganizing, and repacking it with beef… and standard household chores… but I did get to spend some time on the table! The quote is from Plato… “Books give a soul to the universe, wings to the mind, flight to the imagination,…
Day Two
Far from done, but happy with today’s progress!
Day One
Design day one… It’s difficult to see, but I’ve sketched out some simple designs… each section has a book in it… after all, this table will return to the library. And then I start…
Helper
Starting a new project… this one is for the library… I will keep you updated on my progress… hopefully, that will encourage me to hurry up and keep working! This little table is getting reworked. First step is sanding. Luckily, I had an awesome helper.
Pipeline
On occasion, I wander down and help the guys with this project. For years, Brandon has been fighting with an old corrugated pipe at the beginning of his irrigation ditch. Over the past few days, they’ve ripped out the old, replaced with new, and hopefully made this more efficient. It stretches from here… clear through…
Getting There
The salt shed is making progress. Vernon’s winter project needs a tad more paint, some outside wall tin, and a doorknob…and it will be finished. It’s already served as a nursery, but in between checking on calves and nursing them, Vernon would work on the shed. Today, I started painting the double doors… Brandon and…
Hugelkultur Video
2013. Seriously. It was 2013 when I found out about hugelkultur and decided I’d give it a shot! Everyone wanted me to test drive it, and avoid the work themselves… well, five years later, I think it’s a success… and now I’m five years ahead of “everybody”! Posting on my iPad doesn’t let me link…
Garage Work
The day was gorgeous. There was a strength to the sunshine we haven’t felt for a while, making 45 degrees feel much warmer. I fled household chores after lunch, deciding to accomplish something that wouldn’t be undone in a few more hours! I chose to work in my garage, doors open wide! I’ve had some…
