Mother's Day and Other Postings...

I've been blogging, but in other places...

• If you have a mother, go check this out: The Home of Mother's Day


• If you have an interest in (or a picture of) The West Virginia Industrial School for Boys (officially named The West Virginia Reform School prior to 1914), check this out: Industrial School for Boys - Call for Pictures


• Check out Grafton's streetscaping project: The New Sidewalks in Grafton


• And, of course, The Grafton 123 - I have avoided posting about the boredom of the drywall mudding marathon, but the mess in the parking lot has gotten some attention. There's more activity happening out there, too, so keep checking in.

And me? What am I doing?

Building peanut men, of course:

Drywalling vs. Gardening

I'm still mudding drywall over at The 123. I'm just about ready to start sanding. I'm not sure which is less fun.

The weather is cooperating, though. If you can call 50 and rainy cooperative. As long as the weather is nasty I'll be inside anyway, so might as well work on the drywall. Nice weather is too tempting; I spent all last week playing in the dirt with my new rototiller and didn't get anything done at The 123. I did, however, get a bunch of ground turned over and yard work done.

It's supposed to clear up by the end of the week, so I have to spend as much time on the inside work as I can (Gee, I sound like a kid who can't wait to get out of school, huh?).
