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:

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.

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

[QUOTE=masraum;9175852]Wow, awesome job. Looks great.
Isn't having wood stacked up against the house supposed to be a no-no because of termites?[/QUOTE 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.
