Welcome to #Checkin for Wednesday, October 6th, 2021!

Why howdy there #Checkin people!

Today is my last day here as moderator, so I thought I’d just open it up without a topic. Feel free to comment about anything at all.

I’ve been reading a couple of books, and just picked another up at the library. Not that I have a lot of time to read with a painting commission, a website to do, an outbuilding repair and remodel, and a big garden project that needs completion.
The painting commission is a cluster of small portraits of the same subject from different vantage points. The website is for another artist who has neither the time, inclination, nor the ability to create their own. The outbuilding is one I let go as the city had informed me that it may have to come down, and now tells me it may remain. To say that it has a lot of deferred maintenance barely describes its condition. Needs a new roof, windows, and a fresh door. I’ve only done the stripping of the roof shingles and one window removal.
The garden project is the big one. I need to grade an area about 200sq/ft in order to lay down a field of pavers upon which I plan to build a larger screen house. I built a small one before, an 8’ tall 4’x8’ enclosure I used to test grow some plants in, to see if it would not only protect the plants from pest infection, but also provide enough light and air for a healthy, productive harvest. I plan on building a 10’ tall 12’x12’ in which to raise six plants in some 10 gallon buckets.
Other than that, there is a little grey cat that I’m trying to coax into moving in with there three little kittens. Oh my gosh are they adorable. Two have white socks and booties, one is all grey, and all are totally squee. Not that I need to have eight cats, as with the four I have, their addition would catapult me well over the border into Crazy Cat Lady Territory, but hey.
You only live once, right?

Of course, the topic is open. Have fun!
