I have developed a philosophy of gardening which seems to be easily applicable to life in general. There are three primary rules with which to begin:

1. Make a plan

2. Stick to the plan

3. Use what you got

In an effort to challenge myself I imposed a restriction to primarily paint only what can be found in and around my home and land. This way, in painting a landscape for example, allows me to have created it twice. Another example would be interior scenes. This one, unfinished as some of the paintings do not yet exist:http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1466724766.jpg

Exactly. Get into nature and be seduced by her.

Thank you.

I grew, lost and then found this onion in the back of the cupboard:http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1466726594.jpg

Irrigation, my friend. Dihydrous monoxide being the most important nutrient.

We've been in our house for three years now. Our plot is tiny by American standards but I like that maintenance is relatively low. I'm especially proud of my lawn that I planted from seed. It's taken a while but is now filled out nicely. My three raised beds are filled with vegetables and don't require much weeding.

It took a while...I'm old & slow.
Done with the wood splitting. The SIL came over and got his cut (NPI) a truck load of wood. All my wood storage areas are full......even the new one.
Got some pics.

Is this all about a Crow talking to a Hawk?

Wow, awesome job. Looks great.

Isn't having wood stacked up against the house supposed to be a no-no because of termites?

Probably....It's up against my shop....there is more on the opposite side of that building.
I have all this firewood but don't plan to be here come winter....go figure.

I'm seriously shopping for a used class C motor home, preferably from some where near to home.....Vancouver, WA.
