projects

don't know if you can tell or not, but my fingernails are a bright pink. i have been making homemade paper, and decided to color some red. because it requires my hands to be in the goop, they turned pink.














a friend gave me some strawberry starts. so i got this planter cleaned out and planted them at the back of the house. they won't produce this year, or they aren't supposed to, but will next. can't wait. in order to clean out this flower bed, i had to dig out a bunch of tulips. since the strawberries were not in a pot, they had to planted today. unfortunately, the flowers had to go, so here they are drying. (if the wind doesnt' blow them away, they'll still be there.)














on the right is the garden spot. there used to be two seperate planters here. we yanked out the wood, and combined the spots. now i just need to get the seeds and do some work in it.










this one on the left might seem a little weird. this is where the garbage can goes. it was a dying grass spot, but i didn't like it much. so i found as much stray brick as i could and built a little tiny patio for the can to sit on . it's just barely wide enough, and not quite long enough, but it works for now.

above it, you can kind of see the brick that goes around the front flower bed. one of these days, when i can afford it, i plan on ripping that out and replacing it with red scalloped brick. and at some point, the railroad ties will also be replaced with the same thing.

one of these days, all of my projects will come to fruition. course, it might take me just short of forever and a million bucks!
