There has been so much going on here but it is nice to find some time to cut the grass, work on the garden, be outside and actually see that I can get something done with my hands. It's hard sometimes to work with people and rarely see anything "accomplished" or changed in drastic ways. So I've really enjoyed the work around the house. I bought my first lawn mower ever a couple weeks ago! I planted grass in half of the garden from seed and in 3 weeks it is already looking good.
I was also able to make a picnic table out of old wood I found in the attic of the garage. We put it under our grape vines. Tuesday night's we have Kathy over to just hang out
and today we had a beautiful day so we had a bbq and just hung around outside. So here's a few pictures. Jon i was wishing I had a circular saw. I printed a protractor off that i found online and worked with just my skill saw and a paper protractor! Anyway I feel pretty good about everything.We have tomatoes, tons of strawberry's, rubarb, and sweet corn growing in the garden. We have space for some berry's still, blueberry's and raiseberry's eventually. You are all welcome to come for a visit. It's a typical alpine village!
Love you all
Joel

Wow - looks good! Didn't you have your first experience with picnic tables about 13 years ago at SG?
Nice work Joel. I meant to tell you that I used our saw horses a couple weekends ago and they worked awesoeme! By awesome I mean they didn't fall down :) How long did it take you to make the table ? :)
I wouldn't say they were "our" saw horses, we just built half of one together :)
I did it in a lot of stages when I would have an hour or two. The longest time was sorting through the wood in the attic to find stuff that would work. Cutting, sanding, staining, and assembly. Maybe 5-6 hours? but I just did it half hour here and there, pretty slow. It didn't speed it up having to look online for the protractor, printing, cutting and lining it up was a little more challenging as well. I felt very resourceful though.
WOW!!! I saw a guy cut a piece of wood once...it was cool. ;0)
