When you sit on a “project” long enough that it becomes yard art, it’s time to fix it, get rid of it or throw some dirt and flowers in it.
Gonna head to Menard’s this week and get some more top rail pipe for the last of the tunnel cross bracing.
I’ve been at a mental stand still as far as the tunnel shed. At this point, I think it will be very close to it but not quite connected. No good way to cope them together. Inside corners with poly is not a thing. A covered walkway maybe.
Haha - that’s reminding me to move another couple pieces of the ridiculously heavy steel ornamental railing sections I was left with when I bought this place: They are to form plant ladders, and in the prime spot, double as an “entrance” to the east section of our property. Basically they’ll be “fancy” gate posts — if I get really motivated I might hit ‘em with some extra Rustoleum.
(Good God, my spell check didn’t recognize “Rustoleum”. It does now.)
The County roadside mowers took out my driveway markers (again!) last week. I had them set pretty far back from the road, so the mower driver must have sort of swung around in our driveway as he “dodged” the big oak on the south side of the driveway: That tree is much nearer the road than the deceased markers. I guess I need to figure out much more “substantial” and visible markers. A couple pieces of a medium size cedar tree stem, roughly 5” diameter, are “available”. I could paint ‘em bright orange. (Dad had a bunch of tree marking paint that I need to use before the cans rust out further, and leak.) Use this stuff up...
I’m certainly not going to grill with cedar — talk about some twangy tasting BBQ!
I goofed off most of yesterday, so today I am starting on a Raspberry Pie with French Crumble Topping:

And that’s going into the freezer for baking at a later date.
THEN - whatever Raspberries are left, I will make into Jam.
THEN - I start on the 22 pints of Blueberries that are now frozen. Also, Jam.
Neighbor lady wants everything shelf-stable due to a lack of freezer space. We are splitting the goods. ;)
