Yarding Discoveries

Just Going to throw this out there...

We are Building Memories...

Every week there's a new thing to learn!

Second Summer of Living in the Woods...


This Year is wetter by far & there were Crocuses, & Moss...

More Tumbled Stones were found & Bright Skies... 


We discovered the Goshen Stone Co...

Finished our Front Walk by Hand Picking the Stones & Laying them for $53... 

We will see if I can snap a nice Pick of the finished walk that's Lush Summer Green...


Stole some Sunny Moments with the Pup...

Stared at the olde Trash Hide Away...


Without Gutters on the Screen Porch...

The Wood was Wet Enough to Sprout a Tiny Mushroom...

So we Took it Down... Duh ;-P


You can see the Hinges were Not really Doing their Thing...

Babys First Demo...

And the Inspiration for the Future of the space...


I had some fun with our Tiny Shed...

Without Bins the Contents were Ravaged by the Elements, & Mice...

With bins...

Better ... 

And Objects are still being Unearthed...


Trying to Familiarize Myself with the Whole Gardening World...

Building our Sketch of Rock & Whatever Wanted to Grow & Reveal itself...


Mushrooms, Red Clover, My Thrown Together Pots...

And Tall Garden Phlox...


Today this Wee thing Popped Up...

Ghost Flower....

Spooky...


And this Guy...

Comfrey... Hounds Tongue... idk...

Besides Trying to Keep the Woods from being Destructive...

Or Keep Slugs from Killing things...

We Dig, Pull Weeds, Sit in the Sun...

Having a Yard in the Woods Means not Needing a Gym Membership...


When I'm not in the Yard...

There's the On Going Grout Rehab Project...

At least two hours a day, Coffee in Hand...

Scrubby, Wipey, Filly, Painty...

Soul Crushing...

Slow Going...

I'm only able to deal by thinking of it as though it's a Minecraft Goal...

Remember that time you covered an entire landscape with snow, one block at a time...

It took a long time...


I Concentrate hard on Gratitude, Stealing My Moments...

Free time is hard to come by this summer...

Between Making Schedules work,

Making Yarding Times Memorable, 

Making sure I'm Enjoying Myself...

I Make Sure To...

MAKE SOMETHING!!!

XOXO

You know I'm talking to you!

Hunt for more stuff that happens... on social media...

Drop Cloth Curtains!!!


Needed Curtains...

Needed to Try Something NEW (to me)...


From the "Local Home Improvement Store"...


MoonFace says "Yisssssssss" ...

I Bought 6...

(did I wash them first, No... cuz I was raised by Wolves...)


Before... Charli is Helping...


Step Stool & the Rods are EyeBalled & Put UP!!!

Kamikaze Style, as usual....

No Sewing, No Measuring....


I thought for a sec that tie em up was going to be the way to go...


Then I Remembered all of Ye Olde Shower Curtain Hooks!  <-- affiliate link, these are the same type  of hooks I used... I have an assortment going on here...

Y'know, when y'buy new ones bc they come in so many styles...

And then you have a lot of Hooks hanging around...

A "collection" if you will...


MoonFace is Rising over the GlowHouse...


OK...

Almost done...

The only thing stopping me is the fact that 2 of the Drop Cloths...

WERE DIFFERENT...

Oh well, I will grab another one, cuz I only really need one more...

I only used 5 in total...


Magically Gathered Hap-Hazardly...

I just eyeballed it. folded, letting them skim the floor...


MoonFace... Oh Hello... Toes....


Finally Done...

Last Panel was acquired...

Took So Long... The AC is in the window LOL...


Summery Sunshine... Cozy Drop Cloth Drapery...

I would definitely do this again, especially knowing that I can
collect more shower curtain hooks indiscriminately with the
justification that someday I could just poke em through some
drop cloth panels & BOOM, curtains...


Meanwhile...

Charli has been Mega Busy Helping me do many of our Projects...

Like hanging the Sheers in the Studio...

Measuring for where a new light fixture will go over the Kitchen Table...


Both Pets get a real Kick out of the Floor Projects...

New Grout/Paint Grout, & the Elusive Wood putty the Threshold ...

Excitement...


Until I'm done with those on-going Epic Battles...

I sneak in a few of those one and done quick tasks...

Where should you pretty stars go...

(and don't forget...)

MAKE SOMETHING!!!

XOXO
