kites that don't fly and open that bottle
I'll start off with a few house projects as that is what spawned this blog
the bosch DW made more noise than it is supposed to. normally, you can't hear when they are working. the gap above was to blame. I got to be carpenter and fix it.
all quiet now
we've been hearing a lot of positive things about square foot gardening. I am making some planter boxes to give it a stab.
pouring a concrete pad to park the trash and recycling cans. I'm sure the neighbors will appreciate it when we no longer park them in plain view.
friends from school let us borrow a kite. there was hardly any wind. a good amount of running was good enough to make it work for the kids.
I was feeling springy. orange alligator loafers seemed appropriate to me.
boys are different from girls. his sister never tried to impress a classmate by showing how she could hit a metal pole without expressing pain.
crane style
hollie and holly being nice to the dude.
I keep running into this dude in the porta-potty. do they put mirrors in porta potties where you live?
an errant koi flopped out and marvin alerted me. had to get in the lower pool to fish him out. it was 87 outside so I won't complain.
found her backpack was weighted down with rocks. she can name each one. love all things science, she does.
went to the austin zoo
all rescue animals. what kind of idiot would actually try to make a tiger a pet
we like goats
this goat seemed to like me. I didn't even have any food. just wanted me to pet it. we talked about liberating it and letting it run free at our wimberley ranch, but we don't have fencing and goat wrangling is frowned upon.
got some sugar
this is how we dance at the austinmodhouse. pants down and crazy!
this past saturday night was Open That Bottle Night
I found some turnbull wine we'd been cellaring for years. an 01 merlot and 03 viognier from their oakville estate grapes.
