PRESSING MATTER: As our storage solution project continues, CJ got a lesson in operating a drill press. He was making holes in blocks of wood that provide ventilation in the new space.
Below, are the bird blocks in place.
The little shed takes shape. Here it is with its exterior sheathing on and shed-style roof framed.
It's not much to look at, but it serves a purpose, to be sure.
I really like the way it blends in with the rest of the house. The photo below probably isn't the best angle to demonstrate that. Apologies.
LIFE FINDS A WAY: We have all sorts of volunteer flowers in our front yard this spring. My favorite is probably this orange beauty (a poppy maybe?). It's growing out of a crack in our concrete driveway, right next to the stone siding.
We hope to have some on-purpose plants, as well. Below, Annabelle sows cucumber seeds in a spot that used to have no-berry-producing strawberry plants. I cleaned the space out yesterday. Hopefully the seeds like the spot.
Below, CJ plants some spaghetti squash seeds. We harvested them from lovely squash that grew in that same spot last year. They really flourished there. We hope the second generation does as well.
You can see in the photo some rhubarb that seems to grow 50 percent each day, as well as our clover plot for our bees.
