We went over to work on some metal stud framing in the house we have been
building since 1986, started by going over to try out the neighbor's new pool
(about 8" short of knee-deep but refreshingly cool, and full of all sorts of
toys that squirt), and ended up building a house complete with a door and a
window and a chimney and porch, plus a fort next door to it. Lincoln Logs.
This is the second day this weekend we got distracted.
Nice to actually finish a project once in a while. Also demolished it.

I did about six hours of work in the garden today. The major physical
labor was getting the collection of dahlia tubers in the raised bed;
more dahlia tubers survived the winter than we had thought.
I also disinfected tomato cages and pots with a bleach solution,
caged the tomatoes and cucumbers, planted three last tomatoes in
containers. Also planted the first half of the pole bean crop, and
the corn. And watered, watered, watered.

corn? Are you growing at least 200 plants?

No, we grow 4 each, of two varieties. Usually I try to pollinate
it manually. Some years we get a few ears to eat, but mostly we
grow corn as an ornamental plant.

Finished routing the rabbets, cutting the miters and gluing the
reinforcements on the corner shelves I've been working on for
(mumble) weeks now. The second shelf of the pair is all clamped
up on my kitchen floor as I type this, and I've already cut the
support pieces that will mount them on the wall (but they need
to be shortened a bit to be loose enough to be installable).
Bit of sanding and some finish, and they should be good to go.
