I thought Labor Day was supposed to be a day off. Not around here. In addition to helping install a replacement water heater, (do things always break on holiday weekends?) I’m harvesting and freezing, using the outdoor ‘kitchen’ to keep the mess outside, a little closer to the compost.
I wanted to take a holiday nap several times over the weekend, but it seemed like every neighbor had a compressor and a nail gun going. Why aren’t they taking the weekend off? And doesn’t the sudden desire to install a 10-foot high solid fence around one’s already fenced yard raise suspicion? Or don’t they like my garden?
But the contest – not mine but over at She Shoots Sheep Shots. Check it out. And check this out – Gale Z. is coming for sure for a photography workshop.
Photo Workshop Weekend in St Paul MN at The Yarnery September 25 & 26th

If you have a passion for photography (or just want to have your pictures look decent) come along for 2 days of hands-on digital camera workshop. Pixels, fiber, FO’s..what more could you want? I am taking this class again, if you are in or near Minnesota, come join us.

Colour me green with envy. I want to do that workshop.
It’s been quiet around here all weekend long. Nary a lawnmower to be heard. Sorry you could not get a nap in.
No nailing, power saws, or lawn mowing here. Obviously I live in a neighborhood of grasshoppers, while you live in a neighborhood of ants. 🙂
I think it’s actually illegal here to make noise on a holiday (and at lunch or after 9pm or before 8am) so it’s always fairly quiet on public holidays. I also agree with Chris, your neighbours are too industrious by far! :0)
You must be glad to go back to the work week for some peace & quiet or at least no broken major appliances?
That is a major fence. Your garden look vista worthy to me.
ps.
Hey other Gale, i wish you would sign up so we can meet!
And here I thought the nail guns were just my neighbors! I wonder what it is about three-day weekends that just make some folks want to pound nails 🙂
They just want to drive you over the edge. Your garden is lovely.
Thank you for your comment on my blog. Perhaps the fence-builder hasn’t read Robert Frost.
