35 weeks

This was a week ago. We're at 36 weeks now, and we'll hit 37 on Friday. This means it won't be long now!

Mum on Fire

Mother has been bugging me, so here are some more pictures of the innocent one.

I know that everyone has been waiting for these pics so i'll just let the pictures do the talking.

So, Rachel and I started construction on several raised vegetable beds for our sun-rich backyard. We bought some redwood lumber and supplies.




Cut it into many sections of various lengths.



Pre-drilled the holes for later assembly. This process was made easier by an old, old electric Black & Decker drill. I was pleased that it didn't shock my hand. Not once.



And then we painted all the boards with an oil-based waterproofer, to make them last a little longer, hopefully.



And this photo is almost completely unrelated. We got a little plant to put on my desk at home. The pot is one Rachel received from a student a while ago. The student wasn't one of her favorites, so I had to talk her into letting me rescue it from certain doom, after the original flower eventually died.
