Long time since last post....

OK, OK... I know its been a long time since I posted anything here, but I guess that just shows how little has been going on.... either that or I tend to be a bit lazy.... nah.

It has occurred to me that we don't have any pictures of the house up... nothing that you can tell anything about anyway, soooo... ... here you go.



What do you think? OK, OK... not my house.



Yes, these are more pictures of two palm-type trees that we brought inside... but man, those things are huge.

The Herb Garden Bed

Now, I know its flawed... and slightly warped even... but at least its now here. Let the rains come, and the herbs grow... please... please... let the rains come and the herbs grow!



Thank you to my sweet angel Elizabeth for all your help... and your herbs!

Wade Garden of Greensboro Street

OK..... we had to start someplace, and this is what it looked like before and after I had cleared the weeds, vines, and other underbrush.



Then you till up the ground... hoe up some rows... plant your little plants... and Presto! Garden! We have yellow squash, Japanese eggplant, burpless cucumber, sweet corn, zucchini, about 9 or 10 different kinds of tomatoes, and 9 or 10 different kinds of peppers. (OK... so, how do you know what does best if you don't plant them all, right?) And don't get me started with the herb garden... that part comes later.



And then... the first signs of veggies... little tomatos and a mexibell pepper.



I'll update more pictures as things progress...

p.s. Now about that herb bed....

Kitchen table

OK... so when we moved into the house, there was this bench area where a table used to be... but alas, no table. I told Elizabeth that I could have it done in practically no time at all (I said two weeks)... two months later, and I finally got it put in. Sorry Elizabeth, but at least I finally got it done.

First you design and build it... then you prime and paint it (sanding in between each layer - 7 total).. then you build your wall mount... then you assemble it... then you use it! Thank you Elizabeth for making the homemade veggie pizza! Awesome!



As hard as I tried to make this thing perfect... nope. Somewhere along the line, I got a messurement wrong... I don't know how, but it happened. The outside leg already had a spot on the floor... and I missed it. Grrrrr!



Here is a picture of the original table before the previous owners took it out.

Delapadated shed made of old Coke sings

OK... here is our shed that I've been talking about... its made up of old Coca-Cola signs. I was going to scrap everything, but after hearing everyone talk about them i'm guessing i'll hold on the the decent ones. Here are a couple of the pictures that I took. Anyone interested?





Here is what it looked like before the previous owners got hold of it... this was the only picture of it I could find. This view is from the backyard looking towards the house (which you can't see).
