Months sometimes. <br />I took a walk this morning and then spent about an hour in the garden and cleaning out the hen house and watering the porch plants and I am so hot that I can't even believe it. I'm definitely done for the day being outside. Except for laundry. I've got that hanging on the line. <br />That is going to be a beautiful piece when you're done. Don't kill yourself in the shop, though. Please. Ms. Moonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09776404747858099919noreply@blogger.com
