Raised Garden Bed

We have been back in the garage. For a long time I have been trying to learn - nailing, measuring, saws, etc. I enjoy learning but I'm not sure I can ever build anything on my own. I am good at a lot of things but to pick up on something new that is so detailed and intricate is daunting, especially with so much room for error. So lately I have been doing a lot of planing. It is fun to see the wood go from garbage to beautiful. It is also very easy to do and I enjoy it! It gives him a chance to focus on the other stuff while I do this.

I have been messing around with video editing and here is what I've come up with.



I filmed and took pictures with my iPhone4. It is crazy how a phone is now a computer, camera, and video recorder. It is so convenient. I edited with Windows Live Movie Maker, which was included with my computer.

Here is a picture of the finished product, in case you do not view the video:

So sad the grass died! But the potter is nice. Still debating on whether to seal it, or to stain and then seal it. It needs a quick sanding before doing any of that, but you get the idea.

And to finish... young Butters harassing Minnie:

This is funny to me because, well this part isn't funny, but Butters was abandoned in a parking lot. And when I say parking lot, I mean abandoned parking lot. I don't know how long he went without seeing his mother or siblings, but about 3 days after getting him his first experience with a 4-legged creature was a dog. He was so interested in Minnie and she is scared to death of him. Now they just simply do not get along, lol. They got into a growling/hissing match once and Minnie scared the hair off of Butters right eyebrow. Well that is just how it is sometimes :)

Cheers

Life lately...

has been rather difficult. I love posting and reading others' blogs but... I just can't do anything right now.

Here is a picture of Butters as a kitten and I hope to be feeling better and back later on.
