So last week, as paid work, I got to do an acid stain floor in one of the rentals. I had never done this before so I was kinda nervous but Im really happy with how it turned out. Turquoise acid stain over black tile adhesive that we scoured in areas to give it a marbled appearance. Or ocean, depending how you look.
The garden is growing, somewhat slowly, but growing healthy and green. We are growing a couple different kinds of lettuce, kale and cabbage. Onions, beets, radishes, peas, broccoli and friends.

This is something I have been playing with. Its where we keep our firewood. The bars are re-bar that I found laying around, blue bottles friends have given me and shopping in recycle bins.
I read this on something of a friends the other day, 'Build paradise and eat the fruits thereof'.
Wherever you are, build paradise.

  1. Kristen: When I come across a great saying, I write it on a post-it note and stick it on the bulletin board or on my computer screen, so that I see it every day. "Wherever you are, build paradise" is now on a post-it note to remind me to be present and build paradise. Thanks!

  2. The bottle garden is a beautiful work of art! And your wonderful vegetable garden has inspired me to also try to find a small spot of land to nurture and cultivate into a garden...it's glorious and satisfying to pick your own fresh food in the summer! I am so inspired by your postings...thank you.
