The new gate project continued today, though at a slower pace than we had expected. You know that thing where you're 100% positive that you have wood glue already, so don't buy more. Then by some dark magic you actually don't have any? And so have to wait until shops open on Sunday morning before you start assembly? Thereby pushing your whole schedule back. Yeah. It was that thing 😂🤦‍♀️. But now. For suresies, we have wood glue! Lol.
.
At least we got some staining done and have all the glued bits clamped. And it will be a lovely gate when it's done!

Coming home with today's haul including all the bits to build a new gate for our deck 😁

Venturing out into humanity these days has been extra hard on my anxiety and my mind but it's always worth it when a fun new project is going to happen.

Sweet Potatoes also enjoying the sunny deck box 😍 I'm so excited to see if we get a more decent harvest this year. Last year was underwhelming, but this year with much more sun and heat I have higher hopes!

Me: Okay, what do you want on pizza?
Friend: Hmm. Maybe something Korean inspired? With double fried chicken and gochujang sauce?
Me: Done 😃

Weekend spent prepping some delicious Korean fried chicken (from some of our home grown chickens!) and a gochujang pizza sauce! Pizza pictures to come soon! 😋

Orange & Lilac Wine is ready to be cleared this morning 😃 hopefully the next picture will be a sunny coloured but crystal clear liquid. .

We use bentonite clay to clear our fruit wines and usually have good luck with it. This juice seemed extra cloudy, so fingers crossed! And boy does it ever smell good 😋.
