Gardening in a Kilt (Buzz Kidder Canvas)

**Bugbear** · 18th February 08, 06:57 PM

I forgot to report that I found a large botum round rost on sale; I also bought some freshly cooked turky. It might be a couple of days before I start the cooking with the pork. I did buy another squeeze bear of honey. I put the last empty and washed squeeze bear in the collection of animal models in my studio.

I had a very inefficient day. Much of my normal homework time was taken up by meetings with a professor, so everything has been pushed back a couple hours. I am very devoted to my schedule normally, so a change like this is annoying at the least.

Bad professor!

You probably don't want to hear this, but I kind of understand. Hope you are able to get back on track, String.

Another thing that I am working on, and this is a little bit kilt related, is cleaning up and fixing an old chest of drawers. I need the drawer space and those plastic things from Walmart don't work too well if they get full, also if cats are jumping on them all the time. I've been using this one to store stuff in out in my studio. Last year I remodeled my bedroom and ended up losing some of the drawers that were built into the side of the closet. I have a bed now that has drawers under it, but it turned out to be not quite enough space. So now I will have drawers for all my kilt accessories, and I can also make things not so tightly packed in the closet and all. I don't think I'll refinnish it, but it is scratched up and dingged.

It's a side by side type thing that is about hip level and has a good size top area to it. The cats can lay on it, and I could also put an ironing pad on the top and iron on it. I might get a carpet scrap and lay it on the top and hanging down the sides for the cats to play on it., then I can take that off if i need to use it as a table or something. I mostly just need to finnish taking every thing out of it; clean out the insides and so on; then see if anything needs to be pached or nailled back in. It will work quite well to keep all my kilt accessories in: hose, flashes, pins, sporrans, belts. All that good stuff, and I guess even my driving hats and the ties that go with my kilts.

I have to get out and doo some more weeding tomorrow and this week. The weeds spring up and grow quite large over night when it rains here in the desert. Isn't that fun. I don't think I'll wear a kilt for the weeding. All that being said, I can have snicker doodle cookies for breakfast tomorrow...

Ted Do you write a blog? If not you should consider one, I think it would rock. String's one is kinda neat and I reckon you have the necessary aptitude for it.

Tales from the Marmalade Grove?

Um... I'm not sure String would want me looking at her blog, Barry.

**Bugbear** · 19th February 08, 12:23 AM

Perhaps one day I will start a thread in off topic called "The Marmalade Grove," but I really don't know anything about blogging. This is the only forum I read and post in... It's nice here. Lately, I've been trying to mostly stay in my own threads to post, and that's why there are so many of my posts here.

You may look if you wish, but I mostly post images. So that may not do a bit of good.

**Bugbear** · 19th February 08, 09:51 AM

I won't look.

Breakfast snicker doodle cookies...

**Bugbear** · 19th February 08, 11:53 AM

I think I'll just stick with X-marks and the threads I've started. I'm still working on that dresser thing for my kilt accessories. I think it will work out quite well.

I haven't opened up the oatmeal cookies yet because I'm still eating the snicker doodle cookies. I'll get to them at some point soon.

There's a bit of work I need to finnish up on my little aluminum cottage. I roughed it for seven or eight years, but I've been trying to make it a little nicer inside over the last year or so. Just a little bit at a time. And I always have more weeding to do.
