Excuses

I always try to make Monday's post a good one. More readers come to visit on Mondays
than on other days of the week, so I like to make it worth their while. 
Usually I've taken a pile of pictures over the weekend, 
and somewhere in the mix is a decent story or two to share. 
Do you smell an excuse coming for a sub-par Monday post?

I got so wrapped up in the whole wall-covering d-i-y project 
that I took precious few non-project-related photos.


It was almost dinner time Sunday evening when I realized the error of my ways,
so I took the camera with me when I headed out to find the herd. The light was perfect.



Everybody was wondering where I'd been all day. Their eyes glazed over as I described 
in excruciating detail the measuring and cutting and spraying and attaching and tool-making 
and eureka moments when Dad chimed in with some helpful hints. 
See? Your eyes are probably glazing over now, too.
I'll post the big reveal pictures tomorrow. The project is almost done, 
and it looks pretty stinkin' cool, if I do say so myself.

  1. I'm sure the rest would agree, if you ever feel like you don't have a good post, videos would be very welcomed . But seriously, I haven't seen a bad post yet. I can't wait to see the big reveal.

  8. Three of your four hooved creatures appear to be recreating an all equine design of The Musicians of Bremen.
