Look at me - I am a blogger

So what do you know - I have started a blog with Missy's help. There is no way I could have done this on my own. My tech skills are "non" intuitive. I am stuck in an analog world - the digital age escapes me. Hopefully by the time I go home next week I will have posted a couple of blogs, since for me repetition is the best way I learn. I hope the name describes me well. Aren't I always uprooted and undone? Always a construction or garden project on the mind (if not in the works). Summers are never long enough, and the things I need to get done are usually outside. I do have a few indoor projects, but I need help with them, because they are so big, so maybe this fall I can get James to replace a few windows, doors, and floors for me. ;-) This week I am gardening wih Missy, Amber, I'll see your dirt come May.

My name says it all

You know me, I am never satisfied with the way things are. My mind is never idle. If I can think it up, I'll find a way to get it done. Tis springtime with lots of projects around the house. Been raking the back hill (got 21 big bags of leaves that we took to the compost/landfill) then went home and bagged up 6 more from the backyard. Of course Avery and I had to recover for a day (or two). The side pergula is always going through a change, last year was the roof, I stained the floor, and then made a side cabinet. This year the side cabinet is growing in size and a door is going up on the hole in the chimney. And because I didn't prep the floor properly, I'll have to scrape and restain. Of course there is always the lawn, which I need to finish raking and seed, then weed and feed. And when is all this going to be done? You know the answer to that one. If it can be improved upon, it is never finished. But isn't the act of creation what it is all about? I guess my name says it all.
