Mr. Green very kindly put his many projects on hold to build me a storage bench and he completed it late yesterday. With joy, I've been cleaning up the chaos of my studio all afternoon. And while sorting and stashing, I was hoping that a blog topic for today would occur to me.

Meanwhile Mr. Green is on to his next project, which involves a weed whacker. For those of you who live in a city, you may not know that a weed whacker is such a noisy piece of equipment that it makes concentration difficult. And to make things even more exciting, the pressure is on. We're leaving to go to a rodeo in half an hour. I've spent what would have been my writing time on several false starts and so for today, it's going to be a postcard from my studio. Well, how about two postcards! The 'before the storage bench' and the 'after'.
