Pallet-no-more

Ms. T -

I am glad that the idea gave you such inspiration for the community garden project. What happened there that it isn't going to actually happen? I loved the idea you came up with! (So does Mr. K.) With a quick internet search, there are dozens of tutorials of how to use pallets and I seem to like all of them! But, I love your original idea.

I am sad to report that the pallet idea never got off the ground. Too many steps, too many supplies, and too much aftercare (watering) needed for it to be practical to ever get up and running. Plus, it didn't help that the pallet we picked up, although beautifully battered and weathered, was missing too many bars to successfully pack the dirt. I still have hopes of building one once settling in LA for my sister-in-law. In the meantime, I'll keep dreaming of great ways to use the pallets.

Alas, it seems like our under-cover ops was not worth the risk. But, I'm glad it gave you a giggle. I didn't even mention the dark colored jacket and hoods we donned for the outing (and the copious amounts of wine too!) The mother and I do have our moments.

But on a happy note, the weather has decided to give us a warm goodbye and we've finally had our beach days. I found this walking home through town from the beach yesterday.

Until the mainland...
