The temperature is dripping quickly at night so I don’t know how many weeks we will have with it. But it’s ready for spring regardless.
And almost done
The plastic is on the collapsible greenhouse, the ikea shelves are assembled and we are almost ready for plants. All that is left is to build the door, and make a floor like structure.
Flowers in the morning
Collapsible greenhouse progress
A project I started a couple weeks ago is almost ready for “glazing”. Painting the roof and sides this afternoon.

A sunset from the archives
Not much to say today, work has been keeping me amazingly busy. I have also started to sort of work on a side project of a NAShosted version of a homepage. It was sparked as an idea when I saw a wayback Machine version of this site a few weeks ago. It won’t have frames, […]
Macro Bee
I’ve been trying to get a picture I like of a bee on a flower, and this is the first time I’ve been able to get one. I updated my now page this week.

Another morning picture

So much reading
Recently I decided I wanted to read more. Read both fun books and learning books. I’m a start and stop type reader, I will read a dozen books and then put my reader down for a year. So my goal starting now is to read consistently, even if it’s only 15min. Forming Habits One of […]
Summer is coming in fast
The trees are full and the rhododendrons are in bloom, summer is here.
Pandemic wine is bottled
It’s nothing special, but it’s nice for a home brew. It was actually ready to bottle a couple weeks ago, but we were a little busy to get to it. Hopefully those extra days clearing will reduce the aging a bit so we can start drinking it on the patio.
Not all baking works out – cookies
Not all baking works out all the time. This weekend my two cookie projects didn’t work out at all. The second recipe is pictured above. I’m not sure what I did wrong, but it may have been beaten too much or the pan was in the wrong place in the oven. It was my first […]
Spring is here along with BBQ
A couple weeks ago we had a pork shoulder, and rather than roasting it in the @KamadoJeff like we would normally, we did it in the oven. It was delicious, and there was the added benefit of the pork fat drippings that we saved for cooking. However, this weekend I grilled steaks and they were […]
