Trenchant!

 I finally dug the ditch to lay drainage pipe for the workshop sump pump. While not as long deferred as the woodshed foundation (some twenty-five years after we built the shed!), it has taken a while. I made the first shallow incisions a couple of weeks ago, and then dug it out thoroughly on the holiday Monday. 

Garage Doors

Time to re-skin the garage doors. I did three panels about 25 years ago, and the entire second set of five about four years ago. I'm wondering just how old these doors are. They were coming to pieces 29 years ago, so that means they were surely 20 years old then. These things are antiques! 

Darlin' Buds of May

 The sumacs are starting--mere buds but soon they will be green instead of these gray skeletal growths.
