Little known fact: March 9 is International Monochrome Lunch Day.

Spotted on a walk today through Haw River State Park, this tree that would not give up.

Hildy, chilling on her third birthday.

A few tools from the engineering side of making chairs.

Fake inlay Penrose tiles on one of my first bits of woodworking, many years ago. Two rhombi that together can tile a plane, but in a non regular manner that never exactly repeats itself.

It’s pretty much always solitude in the workshop. There isn’t really room for two, and nobody else would put up with this mess anyhow.

Started the spring garden this week (I figured my scrawled charts and notes make a better pic than bare dirt). Greens, lettuce, radishes, beets. New herb plants. Hopefully the weather will cooperate, but cooperating is not what weather does these days.

My comments on the news this week: I really would like to see someone eat a banana with chopsticks. I have a dollar says it can’t be done, but I’d gladly lose it for the entertainment value.

For the photoblogging challenge I would love to show you the lock I installed on my tool chest, but I didn’t install one. It’s secure enough in the locked garage, and our local thieves aren’t smart enough to recognize that anything in here is valuable anyway!
