We have come to a compromise about the herb spiral.

Agree with @knoxblox. The herb sprial is pretty and interesting with all the different shapes and shades. That said, my spouse is also a uniform brick person. He prefers his chaos and asymmetry in the plants and our “bramblr patch” of random dead wood. I admit the uniform brick work contrasts well with the chaos of a 4 year old who had a basket of seeds and no supervision.

This isn’t my own work (I wish)! We happened to be in Paducah, KY over the weekend and stopped at the National Quilt Museum there. Amazing stuff! Here are a few of my favorites – mostly close-ups to show the intricacy. These are all quilts!

Jack has bloomed but turned their back on us. Husband says they are snooping on the neighbors. Jack produced a smaller flower than I thought.

I edited the second one, btw.

I bought a bus. Currently tearing out the seats so I can install things like bedding, plumbing and electricity.

Well, this is a trailer I painted for my nephews’ cub scout troop- So it’s likely.

I found a cool floor-lamp on the curb but couldn’t fix it. my initial back-up plan to use it for a phone monopod so I could be in the shot when shooting video was stymied by the fact that I barely ever shoot video.

what I really needed was a free-standing toilet paper holder.

Best explanation of a debounce circuit ever!

Thanks! I’m no EE, so I was really hoping I’d explained the science correctly.

Harvest of garlic and green beans. This is less than half of the harvest of garlic, with much better performance than last time I grew it. The garlic has been in the ground since October. Beans will keep cropping into September. I should be pulling this much every week all summer long.

Also a volunteer zucchini. Its bigger than the plants I set deliberately.

Always seems to be the way with volunteers!
