Odds and Ends… after a long winter!


Got a new coat of paint on the garden fence… and the new bunny hutch.  Still have to pain the gable end of the studio.


Restrung some of our older wind chimes.



Put up new garden ornaments.  These are Tibetan Monastery Bells we found at a really neat shop in Nevada City California during our stay there.  I love the sound they make!  Still have to hang  our Tibetan Prayer Flags but will wait for warmer/calmer weather.



Watched the Forsythia bloom and the Weeping Willow leaf out! As well as many other trees, bushes and plants around the property.  Can’t wait for the lilacs to bloom!



Ran wire for the new 30 amp service to the 5th wheel and buried half of it so far (man is our ground hard!  Add “aerate lawn” to my list of to-do’s.



Also have hard wire service to the studio now and will soon have the garage and garden shed wired as well.  And plan to run a 20 amp off the fifth wheel pole to power the “Streamline Trailer Guest Room”.



And more re-purposing of pallets – into a fence to keep the dogs out of our laundry line area.  Came out looking pretty good after I dog eared the slats.  (Add more painting to the list.)  Tried to install some double-swing hinges for the gate, but the $17 Chinese hinges that came from Amazon.com arrived broken (and they were cheaply made to begin with!)  I’ll have to come up with something else since I can’t find the hinges I need locally!

So much to do and so little time!
