Patches and pieces

I've been semi-slacking on the blog posts. I'm forcing myself to do them, but I've definitely hit sort of an impasse going into month number 5. It may be because of all the other stuff I'm trying to do at the same time. Today my trip to the Depot helped me finally patch up our front lawn from an evergreen we cut down 2 years ago. It didn't take long and even though it's wearing a wig of straw, it still looks better than the great bald spot that was there previously. So there ya go. Today's post was patched together similar to my lawn but overall, not bad.

The Power Of Doing™

The Home Depot offers a little-known but great DIY class for kids the first Saturday of every month. They provide a kit, the tools needed, and the work area; you provide the kids and parental supervision. They build various projects, from toy cars to window boxes. And if you sign up but can't attend, they will give you a kit you can put together at home. Today my kids and I took advantage of the rainy day and built these plastic bag holders (I went green and got a bunch of reusable bags, but we keep a few plastic bags around). This pic is of their finished projects. Not bad, huh? :)
