OK, the picture of the wooden indian blanket is on post #2086. The wood rake was cut in half and used as the end fringes of the blanket. Each fence board was painted a different pattern to obtain "the look". ((indian blanket for house art))

Wood taken out of the burn pile - $0
Paint and supplies - $18. (Paint was 8oz samples from Lowe's)
Two thumbs up from my wife - Priceless.


We responded to a small grass fire this evening. Hay cutting and hitting rocks in this dry county is all that is needed to start a fire. There still is a lot of dry uncut winter grass/rye grass around.

Charlie, you've been waiting for a "wash" like that!! Now you might actually be able to see where you've mowed when you get started:laughing:


Dennis--Not only can you see what you've cut but the rows seem much straighter.

Don, Good looking project and really like the blanket.

Yesterday's harvest: The yellow tomatoes are Lemon Boys, so are supposed to be yellow. They were not picked too early! The rest are heirlooms.

This morning's sunrise: I love mornings!

Nice looking stuff. It's interesting the variation in the shapes of your crook neck squash. That size should be very tender and tasty. Do the yellow lemon boy tomatoes have a milder taste than red tomatoes? I'm growing yellow bell cherry tomatoes and they are milder with less acid.

We picked about a dozen cherry tomatoes and 2 gallons of green beans and 2 gallons of snow peas yesterday morning along with three zucs and three cucumbers. I could harvest my peppers now (banana, jalapeno, and bell peppers), but I'm waiting for them to get really big. I found one ripe tomato, but it had a quarter sized spot of blossom end rot on it. I think the big rains and watering shock has produced some stress on my better boys because they are the only ones with BER. I've found about 8 BER tomatoes so far, but the rest look pretty good.

FG19, shoot, your already picking full meals like Jim! aint fair!:banghead: I like mornings too (nice photos) but I seem to not see many.

Don, nice design and great use and creativity of material! have a light over it ? One of theses days I will show y'all some of the art work I used to do (and hopefully will do again soon).

Drove to Galveston yesterday for a sandblasting job, expected to put in a 16hr day/night. If something can go wrong it did, worked just over an hour and the lights go out?? At a place that has been scheduled and screaming for the work to be done for 2 WEEKS! I'm most certainly the most aggravated person on the darn sandbar!!!!!!!!!!!!! Definitely the last person some of the "nightlife" walking around here wants to PO. Gawd I wish I could retire and go help Jim with all those water hoses:laughing:

jinman; The Lemon Boys are milder, less acidic, and a little sweeter, IMO. I also like the little yellow pear tomatoes, but I eat those while I am out picking everything else, so doubt y'all will see pics of those!
