The Roar of the Saw–the Call of Spring!

This has been going on here over the past several days -
In between days and nights of rainy deluge -
And I am so excited about this project!
Last summer when we went to Idaho for my brother Scott’s 50th birthday, wetook a side trip to Oregon to visit friends Debbie and Kent. I admired a corner bench they had built into the deck at their cabin and I had mentioned at the time (8 months ago now?) that I would like something like that for our deck – SOME DAY.
Well, this shelter at home thing due to Covid-19 restrictions and the desire to be outside doing SOMETHING has really kicked in around here.
The bench making has commenced!
