Friends,
Here’s the reason why I ventured outside on Tuesday morning…
The snow caught in the tree bark was catching the sun and was turning to steam. Click on the picture to see a larger version.
Of course, there was a little danger involved…
Not the ice daggers above, but the icy walkway below. Here’s a shot from immediately after I checked whatever hip padding I may or may not have…
Thank goodness my cellphone cushioned my fall. [btw, the replacement refurb is much better than the old one] Also by the way, I now wear stretchy tire chains on my shoes whenever I venture downstairs. They’re brilliant and you should try them. Highly (and also muchly) recommended.
And lastly, this is the project I’ve been working on lately. Yes dear friends, it’s a door. Some people had said during the last Christmas season that gift cards are lousy gifts. I beg to differ. Home Depot gift cards are always welcome around here…
Yeah, the stain isn’t quite right but wait for the tannins from the wood to work and start turning the wood yellow with age. Give it half a year. Heck, I’ve got the time.
Your pal,
bob
