Once again, we were fortunate enough to have a week-long vacation in Eastbrook, Maine. All of us speak of this vacation throughout the year, and it usually it sounds something like this, "I cannot wait to get to Maine this year!" Continue Reading...
Hummingbird Hawk-Moth
This was a 19-second video that I took with my phone yesterday. I slowed it down to half speed. It's a Hummingbird Hawk-Moth. I know it's not the best quality, but kind of cool to watch. Continue Reading...

2017 Quality Raised Garden Beds
So, an innocent conversation with friends, about the possibility of having raised garden beds and whether they could place one on the side of a hill, turned into my latest woodworking project. It all started with manufacturing the sides and ends by cutting and combining boards to get walls that were 12.5" deep. Then some pilot holes, plastic lining (last year's backyard ice rink), some weed block, Continue Reading...
