Father's Day

 


I really like that door - actually I'm a big fan of most anything from the Art Nouveau era. 


 The door to my shop is more Arts and Crafts. I made it at the high school with a little help from the Wood Shop Instructor. The boards are ship lapped and glued together, however, one of the glue joints let go over the winter and I've got a board sticking out along the bottom. I need to figure out the best way to pull it back in and keep it there. Just one more thing to add to the list.

Sort of busy day yesterday. Went for my bike ride in the morning, ate breakfast while watching an Audie Murphy movie. Did some more trimming on some bushes, sprayed some weeds, sharpened some knives, broke down some cardboard boxes, and a couple of other piddly things in the shop and in the shack. Nothing to write home about, but I kept my feet moving for the better part of the day.


The lilies are starting to bloom. I need to give the flower bed a bit of attention - pull a few weeds and plant another lily to fill in a gap. One of the nice things about day lilies is they require very little maintenance and add a nice splash of color when blooming.

Father's Day today, of course. I'm going to take a bike ride in the morning and maybe do a few things outdoors before the rain comes in. 

Happy Father's Day to all you Daddy-Os out there. Enjoy your day and keep on pushin'. It's a big responsibility. Do your best for your children and the rest of us as well.
