DIY DISTRESSED WOODEN RISERS
04/28/2023
Several years back I made wooden risers from scrap pine leftover from our trim and baseboards. I made plenty for myself plus enough to give to family as gifts. And it only took about an hour. I used 1″x4″ pine but the look and size can be varied by using different widths and lengths of wood. For those that don’t have scrap on hand or can’t cut it to the desired lengths, a piece of wood can be purchased from a hardware store and most stores will cut the wood to desired lengths. For the feet, I used whatever scrap I could find. Some pieces were 1″ x 2″ and others were 2″x2″. Feet can be glued with wood glue, tacked with brad nails or both. The next step is to distress the wood. Beat it with a hammer. Hit it with a chain. Use a jigsaw to make...

It’s my daughter’s birthday today. She requested Oreo dessert. Oreo dessert we ate. Yes, I said “we”. Not keto. Very good. YOLO. I could eat an entire pan of this dessert. It’s so good. If you haven’t tried it yet, you must. Recipe below. It’s a no-bake frozen dessert. Just take it out of the freezer about an hour before eating. I spent the day cooking and baking family dinner for her birthday yesterday so I’m just now posting our dinner menu for the week.

1302 YARD MEMORIES
04/17/2023
It’s been a week since I last posted. I took four days off work – and the blog – to work on as many outdoor projects as possible while the weather was perfect. I painted parts of the house that had been re-built and a part I shamefully hadn’t painted until now. I washed all the exterior windows and scrubbed the screens. I stained all the cedar accents on the house and barn. We built a new fence for my bittersweet and other climbing plants which I also stained. We removed grass, tilled and planted two new flower beds in front of the barn. And I finished off the week by putting new mulch in all the flower beds around the house. It feels good to have all that finished before the weather gets hot. And surprisingly I’m not sore after all that. I would gladly fill my days...
Happy Easter to all! I hope your day has been filled with delicious food. And if you’re lucky, there...
