I planted the wrong pumpkins on my pumpkin arch, and I couldn't be happier

My first time growing corn!

I made plenty of mistakes--planted too close & didn't thin, overwatered for weeks so the stalks were tall and the roots shallow causing them to fall over in the wind--but I still ended up with lots of delicious corn.

Found this lazy employee napping on the job.

Bumble bee in the garden! I followed it like paparazzi trying to get a good picture.

Mushrooms are growing in my kitchen herb garden

I was more patient this time and waited until we had 5 gallons of maple sap before simmering it into syrup.

I... Made... Maple... Syrup! Look at it! All 1.5 oz of it!

Okay, I should have waited until I had collected more sap, but I was too anxious to see how it tastes. And it tastes fantastic!

My wife gave me a scroll saw for Christmas and asked me to make some mountain-inspired art. I used poplar and red oak from Lowe's, and whatever wood was in the round frame from Hobby Lobby.

Thank you, Ms Carol-Lynn Bond, for your review of Frankenstein by Mary Shelly.

My son and I went for a short hike last night, and someone had made the hiking trail a little more magical.

While on vacation, I had so much fun with my son's thermal paper camera, that my wife bought me one for my birthday.

Here's the latest on my gnome linocut. This is a test print with cheap ink on printer paper. Also, I attached a 'ghost print' with areas circled for improvement.

My oldest son suggested adding moon. He even made a paper cutout to demonstrate the idea! What are your thoughts? Moon or no moon? 🌙

A chipmunk eating a snack. This is my first linocut print that I felt was actually good.

Check out this awesome portrait my youngest son drew of me! It's so spot-on that you'd definitely recognize me from this picture if you saw me on the street.

Finished carving my gnome linocut. Well, I finished carving the main linoleum block. I want to try a multi-color print, so I have a few simpler blocks to carve.

I'll try some test prints this weekend and see what needs to be fixed.

Here's an early linocut print I made using cheap tools and ink. While I still stick to affordable materials, they've definitely improved since then. I don't often showcase this piece because, quite frankly, it's sh*t

When I got back from the bathroom, I discovered that Mr. Fritter had claimed my chair.

It doesn't feel like I made much progress on my linocut last night, but it was a satisfying place to stop.

Progress on my linocut

Started carving a new linocut print today
