Wednesday Woodworking – The Boxes Arrive

I made three more planter boxes for the caged garden. Now we have five and Heather has started planting lettuce for a winter garden. There are four boxes left to make.

Planter boxes now in the cage.

Another angle:

and here’s one under construction:

I haven’t been in the shop as much since getting back from England, but hope to get a few more projects out before the cold weather settles in.  You know, California cold, like below 70.

If you need me – I’ll be in the garden.

Decision Point

Standing at the point of decision.
Crossroads.
Rail and car cross in time.
The road bends into the unknown.
Two rails held apart by strong ties.

Standing at the junction of fear and longing,
contemplating the turmoil of the heart.
Safety or adventure.
Dull certainty or exciting confusion.

Sanding at indecision.
Heart and head.
Feet and hands.
All pulling in different directions
as a feeling from above
pulls eyes upward
to see twin cloud trails
converging in the distance.

Vanishing point where
perspective merges,
and souls melt into eternity.

 

Till next week,
Andrew

Friday Wisdom – Indecision

Indecision is the key to flexibility.
