Brielle's Avalon

A while back some lovely friends were moving and I ended up with their queen bed. A few years later it got moved into my large spare room so I could take in boarders and they’d have a place to sleep. A couple years after that new horribleawfulrotten roommates broke the foot board so the frame went out to the garage. Years later (just recently) an old roommate came back after travels and adventures and has been helping me fix a lot of stuff and catch up on random projects.

One project was putting in the security door I bought well over 15 years ago. Several friends offered to help install it but no help ever materialized. One day I came home from work and the new roommie had put it in! Now we can open the front door to let breezes through without the neighbourhood cats coming in and making trouble.

He also helped me rake and seed wildflowers in the front yard and clover in the walks.

Fixed the hen-house and coop so we could coop the chickens. Once we got them cooped it was quite a job cleaning up the back porch where they stayed out of the sun!

And we put in the back veg garden. Soon we’ll be picking salads for dinner.

Now he’s cleaning up and rebuilding a park bench for me.

But about the queen bed frame I mentioned in the beginning. I’d wanted to make a bench for the front porch out of it for years, but never had the time. That finally happened I still have to macrame the arm rests and make pillows but the pillows form the porch swing will do for now. It’s almost done.

We’ve been busy these past few weeks.
