It was twenty years ago today…

I do miss having ducks around.

Photoblog challenge 5/20. Beverage. On a hot day, from a glass bottle, in a pickup truck with the window rolled down. (Every beverage has its rituals.)

Photoblog challenge 5/19. Indulgence. I haven’t particularly indulged myself today, but in case of emergencies, I keep the really good beer in the basement fridge… next to the shellac flakes.

Photoblog challenge 5/18. Random.

Photoblog challenge 5/17. Hold. Wedged tenon holding a leg in a chair seat.

Sketching possible shapes for the crest directly on the dry-fit chair with a 6B pencil. In two dimensions it’s too hard to visualize what actually will look good.

Photoblog challenge 5/16. Time. I inherited this pocket watch recently and would like to make use of it, but that seems to require wearing a waistcoat… and then I’m just down the rabbit hole.

Photoblog challenge 5/15. Clouds. (You probably think this post is about you.)

Photoblog challenge 5/14. I tried growing sweet pea flowers along the fence this year, but they were too slow coming up. Also the rabbits ate my zinnias. So it is on to plan C. Update: I am actually posting the photo.

Photoblog challenge 5/13. Community. For homeschool environmental science in 2019–20 my daughter and I visited a dozen or so North Carolina state parks. This is one of nine (!) distinct coastal ecological communities at Carolina Beach State Park… but I forget which one.
