a carpenter ?

After my birthday (and in fact before that too)

April has been much and much too cold 

That means that I haven't been in the garden as much as I normally would be

Though, when the sun creeps out

from behind the heavy layers of clouds

I'm out there right away.

I love my Malus tree

it will have dark red leaves when the blossom fades away

From the garden I also picked some flowers

that I used for one of my secret projects

Tiny forget-me-nots

colour all of the garden blue at the moment

a lovely sight !

In fact my secret projects will have to be finished soon

... in about one and a half week of time ...

One of the extra "in-betweens" I did today made me remember

that, perhaps in another life,

I would liked to have been a carpenter !

Years ago, during winter holidays in Austria,

I loved to visit the shop

of the the old turner in wood :

mmmmmmmm that smell

of freshly cut wood when you entered there,

runnig your fingers along the grain

of the smooth sanded wood

(I use some of the items he made untill this very day)

It wasn't a very inspiring of difficult object,

just a needed one !

I like to have the proper tools so bought a 14mm drill  (ha !)

Tomorrow I'll fitt it to a little cradle
