SUNBURN

Chris McCaw's Sunburn series

sometimes

working on saturday isn't all that bad

they finally did it...

years after homer invented the automatic hammer, they finally did it. i present the automatic hammer made by craftsman (i may be wrong about this, i was too amazed by the invention when i saw the commercial today that i wasn't totally paying attention to the maker, i was grabbing my phone for a picture). i hope the next commercial i see is for the makeup shotgun.

Copycat

here is my copycatted pumpkin planter. some old boards and an old sheet. it certainly doesn't look as good as a burlap sack. i had to relocate my peppers to my bedroom window along with the random plants that happen to be growing in my hanging planter. i obviously need more soil which will be gotten tomorrow. hopefully there isn't too much rain. for tonight my pumpkins will once again sleep in their bucket.

bonus #1 the tomato cage i labored over for far too long. some dowels and wire.

bonus #2 the reflection of my target gnome sheets i scored on clearance for 7 bucks!

artisan wood designs

i found this in the trash up the block from me this week. brand new this retails for 900 dollar. so it's missing the legs and the cups to fill the hole, but boy is it pretty sweet!

What Jennie Does With Weeds

So, here's a link to my goofy gardening blog. I put this here because there are so many culinary-connected people - "little cooks" - among the Koechlings. You might want to follow the link in today's post to see what Jennie does with weeds...

all of those night we harmonized til dawn!

this is what my hand looks like after passing freeze dried shallots and herbs through a sifter for a half hour on a kinda humid day.
