Owen is big enough to climb up to the sink in the upstairs bathroom which means now we have to find a new home for the toothbrushes, razor, toothpaste, etc. (Grrr!) Joel decided to give him a new ‘do with just a little water. Owen didn’t care since Joel let him play in the sink.

Joel’s new custom-made bike arrived just in time for our vacation which was a relief. He needed a new one partly because his old one was indeed old, but mainly because I forgot it was on the roof of the car and proceeded to drive into the parking garage at Westfarms Mall because we always park near Nordstrom. Whoops!!! We both were in the car and both forgot, but boy did I feel guilty since it wasn’t my bike.So Joel had a custom steel bike made in Somerville, MA by Independent Fabrications and then he built it up by himself. I’ll let him add more about it.

Last Saturday, as a Mothers’ Day gift for Sue, Sue, Rick & I spent the day building a planter for our back yard. It’s no ordinary planter - it’s 4 feet wide and 8 feet long, and stands about a yard high. There’s about 18 inches of topsoil, mulch, peat moss, and manure, so it should be robust enough for Sue to do some actual vegetable gardening.It’s made of scaffolding planks and should last a good number of years, though I’m a bit worried that I may have under-engineered the bottom so I will have to shore it up this weekend. Sue coated it with linseed oil to help its longevity, and to give it a golden hue.Sue planted tomatoes, peppers, and beans. The plants have been suffering in their tiny containers for a week; hopefully they’ll recover.
