Back in the Saddle

After a two-and-a-half week hiatus, I fired up the shops again and loaded some new merchandise.  Well, new OLD merchandise. I didn't accomplish half of what I had hoped to do while taking the break, but that's life. And I found that I missed the fun of selling on Etsy. So, back at it.


My husband has been busy the past few days with a long-awaited project:  the demolition of his old, ugly artificial pond in the back yard.  With Benita, our grandbaby, now walking, the pond had to go.  I'm not going to miss it.

The steps involved prying up the support boards so the water could begin draining from the liner. Then it was time to rescue the resident turtle and the goldfish.  More draining... add sunshine...  and today, shoveling the whole thing over with the tractor.  Rah, rah!!  A bit of grass seed and, voila!  No more eyesore.
