Tyson had gotten some plant trays from his folks and he just got this book on growing Microgreens which he was really excited about so the laundry room is now also doing double duty as a mini-greenhouse. 
We had some sunshine this weekend. It was better on Saturday when we were running all over town getting the supplies for the projects we wanted to do on Sunday. But in-between rain showers Tyson managed to mow our cute little yard...
Build a cold frame in his shop for seed starts. The wood was bought used from the RESTORE in Ballard...
He filled it up with good healthy dirt and surrounded it with the special crushed nut (hazel nuts?) compost his folks gave him. Slugs apparently can't stand it, which means we love it...
He topped off the new cold frame with a recycled vintage window from the RESTORE ($4)
...and here he is just looking good : ) I will try to post what I was working on while he was doing all this tomorrow.
New Side Project for Sarah: I am going to find pictures of each of our best friends in which their personality shows through the photo. For instance, Jason with that hat outside in the snow is pretty classic "Jason". Once I have collected all these pictures I am going to hang them in a big arrangement in the living room. Let the search for great pics begin....
It's.................TYSON! Although to be fair it is easier to be an awesome uncle when your nephew is the best baby ever. Nice work Katie and Jamie.
Actually, I made this little guy the other day out of a medium sized soda bottle, an old egg carton and some newspaper. He is really a piggy bank. I got the idea off of the Martha Stewart site- hers of course looks much more like a bank and less like some sort of stray woodland creature. But I thought this guy deserved a photo-shoot anyways.
