Joe - The Master Craftsman... NOT!




I love putting together Ikea furniture. It helps me get in touch with my inner craftsman. I completed two basic shelves today. The first one (center) turned out just fine. The second one (bottom) well, not so much.

Dining Room 2011


We had our friends Kathy, Kathleen, Lisa and Janine over for dinner last night. All of them noticed the table which is the first all of them have seen of it since we got it almost a year ago. Dale mentioned that it does look very welcoming and I must say I agree with him. Here it is with the extention out.

Bedside Tables



Today we finally switched out the old bedside tables for the new! Dale reminded me that when these were delivered I was visiting Pete in Virginia back in March. Wow. Better late than never. I think they look great.

Mulching


I cleared pine needles out of the fern garden today and spread a bunch of leaves to mulch.

More Leaves to Bag


Dale raked today. I helped him bag about 9 bags of leaves. Dale's thinkin' we'll have to rake one more time before all is said and done this season.

Bagging Leaves - Fall 2011


It's gotten to be that time of year again. Dale bagged about 7 bags of leaves yesterday while I watered the gardens. Dale says it's been two months since we've had any substantial rainfall!
