Ragdall, do the dowel holes have to do with displaying photos? That linkage doesn't come through in the posts so far (or I missed something - this wouldn't be the first time).

I don't paint, I use the camera. Here's the latest project: identification. Mom is fast and secretive. Cardinal or phyrruloxia. I'll figure it out soon. I have a pair of binoculars and can settle in a chair back there and watch the nest. Too bad it's so hot. I worry about the chicks, but they are growing fast. Just a few days and they went from being bald to having lots of feathers in casings.

The kitchen is a mess. It'll get cleaned up tomorrow. I did part of the dishes, but didn't finish (dishwasher is where they air dry, and it is full).

Did some shopping for dorm life, got some towels, working on filling out a few forms still. And while I was shopping I did the grown up thing and got a nice looking watch. The one I wear is pretty tattered, no longer "jewelry" like in it's looks. And every year I sweat through the leather band. So I did replace that and I'll continue to wear it around the house and when working in the yard. But there is a pretty one now for work and going out and such.
