Lot's of new things going on lately, and I've been enjoying them as best as I can. We've put lovely spinach, lettuce, chive, and pea seeds in our garden this week. Hopefully we'll have a good early-season crop. We've also got a garden site at the new cabin, which Trevor is excitedly planning out. Corn, cucumbers, tomatoes, and pumpkins may go there. As for our current garden, it will be filled out with our extra wildflower seeds. Next year, we can start anew, and buy lots of seeds.
I've been learning a lot about being a weasel. Yup -- that's right, a weasel. I've been rodent-proofing a chicken coop down the road, because there was a chicken-weasel confrontation earlier this year that ended badly for the fowl. So, lots of hardware cloth and scraps of wood are now covering up the small holes in the coop. Hopefully it keeps the predators at bay. It helps to put yourself in the mindset of a toothy carnivore, lusting for chicken. Mmmm, chicken.
The guitar is proving to be fun to play around with, and a good substitute for my trumpeting habits (which are so noisy, I rarely play it anymore. Weep not, my poor Bach strad. I still love you). I'm attempting to write a story to play music to, and it's a good mentally-challenging activity. Perhaps I'll even sing it for friends, someday.... My brother gratefully lent me his steel-string, which I'm preferring over the classical guitar. It's got such a sweet sound.
I've also got quite a few woodworking projects going; a dining room table, a cutting stand (for bamboo and mats -- longsword practice!), and a bedroom wardrobe. Oh, and more doors. At least I can say that I'm not becoming lazy.
More thoughts, I might post later. No picture you say?
Imagine.
