Wood hunter husband was able to find a very thick piece of walnut out of our brother-in-laws shed a while back and I have been demolishing my arms over the past few days working on it. This wood is so solid and dark...almost purple. I hope some of these boards turn into family heirlooms, lasting so long that they can be used for years and years. A couple more days and they will be smooth and polished!
Can't help adding this fresh little pot of hyacinths. Picked some up in the depths of last winter while starving for green and noticed these little troupers poking their heads up a few days ago. Now that they are back inside they grow almost before our eyes!
