Typically one series photo stands out: clear choice -

four equally commanding uniquely nuanced

kitchen window evening art shots: you choose!

     Eyes months peeled, St. Vinnie's find 10"x14" mirror.  Extract from mistakenly identified thrown in fire faux wood plastic frame - stinky! - original bath medicine box install.  New hinges; circle saw fit; await knob, putty, paint - quaint, useful, probably make final cut.

     Safely, successfully prune third up tree right

backyard limb.  Chain saw dice; pile brush high on two rows logs chain saw stove length mince - no saw/dirt contact, chain stays sharp through entire prune/dice/mince.

Tree distinctly leans away from house/car port - old man trim big limb over new metal roof no issue -

continues attractive street countenance, year or two: refoliate. 

Stack logs behind garage corner, pile minced brush next pallet surround, circle saw dice pallets pile on logs, four nail - three pallets, one log center top - cat piss luan plywood 'roof',

pallet chunks fill in the blanks - next winter wood, plenty kindling.

Pallets gone, truck on extended clan move loan allows car/truck park grade - entire behind garage area future: vehicle enter behind garage to be carport from either alley or yard.

Dozen wheelbarrow loads final grade behind back porch.  Remainder backyard fill will go between house/garden post foundation work.  Judiciously scatter sod on fill: do Eugene thing grass: grow!

Garden from the north: radish near, rutabaga far, current big winners; Russian kale left, corn right.

Culinary newbie: rutabaga greens - yum!  Eat radish, kale, mustard, turnip, kohlrabi greens too.

Transplant four Grapette, four Cordova hothouse tomato plants front of strawberries/garlic - hope they do OK in heavy post stump removal disrupted subsoil/topsoil; mound lemon cucumbers, sweet potatoes house front corner.  Squash, cukes, beans happy - gonna need some heat.

Peas continue exuberant - tasty flat eaten pod peas.

Few house shots record house raise eve appearance

include rebuild requiring chimney, fairly straight house east roof line - believe it's all settled equally,

clearly sagged house west roof line.

     One day Gateway Mall hike, Sizzler dine, 'Sucker Punch' - dark, fantastic, psycho journey - view, get away from home a bit.  Outside house work complete, garden on its own: time to get under.  Been at it pretty good six months now - results show - recognize long way to go.  Car at hand might travel - separate, here task immediateness engendered, put head down, break another time.  Camera, screwdriver (rot checker), tape measure, lamp in hand: forward into the bowels......     Peace
