Congratulations to you and the Mrs, Ben. Mrs. Badger and I are coming up on 20 years in a couple months, and we generally still like each other, so we're calling it a win. Some of you guys make me feel like a youngster!
Yesterday was a pretty full day. Started out with a walk up the hill with the Badgerling, looking over the big elk herd that's hanging out on the edge of town and scouting the foothills from a distance for promising bow-wood. Got three out of the four garden beds cleaned out, weeded, dug, and ready for planting. Dug a bunch of dandelion roots with the Badgerling and roasted them to try dandelion "coffee."
After a nap, I finished up a herculean shop/garage organization/clean out, with better bow and accessory storage, and the tillering tree mounted to a stud right next to my work bench. Then watched a little TV with Mrs. Badger and processed a few stalks of dogbane for future projects, and ended the day with a walk down to my buddy's place for a nice Scottish ale and some campfire time. (My favorite hunting partner is also the master brewer at our local establishment. How's that for a good situation?)
Today, we're going to visit our old "big church" for a special Bible study they're doing that sounds interesting, then meet with our normal "house church" for further spiritual goodies, then lunch with some friends. Hoping to get a juniper kid's bow finished up or close to it today. We have a house showing tomorrow so I'm sure Mrs. Badger will be calling out the troops to get things cleaned up nice, too.
Whew. Looking forward to going back to work Monday so I can get a little rest!
