Scott thought it would be a nice idea to have a picnic table at NoTTafarm. I thought it would be a nice break from "hard labor" for him and his dad to build one. Of course, when two Camp men take on a project, there is a lot of measuring and thinking and pondering and re-measuring even before the first board is cut to size. They spent a good portion of Saturday on the construction, working past dark with the trouble light illuminating the work area. The seats were added Sunday afternoon. After the wood dries out, we'll give it a good coat of stain or paint (after a proper sanding, of course).

The smell of the burgers cooking attracted our corn crib cat. We previously thought he was wild but upon closer inspection (through the telephoto lens) we've decided he probably lives next door. Carl has named him "Bibbers" after everyone poo-pooed my idea of "Santa Leo" (get it? Because he looks like our Leo wearing a Santa beard? OK, maybe not). |
