I spent part of my afternoon attempting to gently sweet talk my shed door into holding out another winter. The poor thing has been battered by the wind and weather incessantly for about 10 years now and is (literally) barely holding on. I tacked on a few 2x's here and there with some longer screws to shore it up a bit, then replaced the screws on the upper hinge, which were almost completely pulled out. The longer ones found something in there to bite down on, so I am hoping they will last until I can completely rebuild the door. Next summer? Who knows?

A perfect, steady rain all night long.We are picking raspberries again. They are coming hard and fast, though I have yet to reach any conclusions about what to expect this year. There are patches where the berries are abundant, and then, if you move a short way down the row, there are no bearing canes at all - but abundant new canes. And there are many that should be bearing that have died off. So I vacillate on knowing what to expect from the harvest this year. But we keep picking, and others will come pick, and we just will see what awaits.

Thanks for stopping by.

I am rebuilding this web site, so at the moment the content is disappeared. I expect to start adding more soon.
