Fairy Tale Scrabble with halfmoon_mollie and cynnerth

We wrote a bedtime story as we played our latest Scrabble threesome game over the last week.   Once upon a time in a kingdom in another land, there was a cave with a door. That door could only be unlocked with a special KEY made of green glass. With narrowed eyes, Tangelina looked slowly to her left and right. She licked each palm and nervously smoothed her irridescent wings back. After ...

the shed, part 3

At the end of the first day, I was hoping to get everything done but the shingles themselves. At the end of last night, I had given up on getting the gutters on. I *almost* got to today's goal of putting the tar paper on. I started with finishing the two higher panels of plywood. That took a lot longer than I expected. I'm still not sure why, but the time might simply have been sucked up by ...

the shed, part 2

As usual, I didn't get a very early start on the shed. I took a couple of trips to the store. still did some standing and staring. I don't think I did any actual cutting until around 3:00. I enacted my plan of using the two-foot strips of plywood. It's working pretty well so far. There's a larger gap at the top of the strips than I'd prefer, but as long as no roofing nails hit it (or that I ...

saturday report

We took a picture of ourselves on our anniversary, the other night. To compare with our wedding picture. I'm still sick. Not as bad as I usually feel when I'm sick, but given the way my throat feels, I think I'd better see a doctor. The weather is great. It's around 60 and sunny. I've got yard work I need to do. And I'd like to go out with my camera. A friend is having his bachelor ...

a little flooding

On saturday, the temperature got up to 50°. On monday it was up to 57°. Since saturday, it was only below freezing for a few hours on monday morning.

There's a retention pond nearby, and it's culvert was apparently clogged, so it filled up, and overflowed the road. The pavement has sunk where they ...
