Moving BCs to more sun and clear some room on my patio. Hopefully, I will have my patio back in the fall.

Built a gate between on my deck steps leading to the bonsai area so I can bring the dog out when I'm working on trees and not have to worry about him running away.
Also added some geraniums and some small accent plants.

100 feet of tubing and 105 sprinkler heads:
-there is my sketched out plan
- close up of the top shelf
-a shot of all the plants
About 8 hrs of work for upcoming vacation (not a kid in the neighborhood that wanted to be paid for the job)
Test run tomorrow

Three squirrels came into my back yard this morning. Two left in a big hurry. The pellet gun works.
No one wants a pic of a dead squirrel, so here's a valley oak I'm growing out.

Be careful how many emitter you have on one main line. There is a limit to how many there can be and still deliver enough water to all.
Picture: having a lazy week-end here.
No bonsai work, just watering, watching the Olympics and napping. One if my dogs has one upped me in the napping department

Got stung by a saddleback caterpillar while pruning. Wouldn’t wish it on my enemies. Feels like being stung by multiple bees at the same time, and then feels like having a piece of glass stick under the skin.

LOL at looking hopeless, I look clueless as a default. Razi! That's what he said, nice, thanks. Is Mila the black cat? She sat in my lap for about 10 minutes insisting on attention/petting & I obliged.
Mila is the Nice Black Cat - there's another similar-looking shorthaired wee black kitty whose name I also don't recall (picking up on a theme here? I'm crap with names), who's a sweet thing until she gets a little overstimulated and then she'll chomp or swat at you. I have a certain fondness for her, though, because she reminds me of one of my girls at home.
Today's project was repotting a ficus I'd originally smushed into a pot as part of a workshop back when I wasn't sure I should try this bonsai thing, but the larger roots really wanted more space to spread out. I've had this vintage Juku Koyo pot for a year waiting for it - there'll be further growth and some wiring in the future, but for now I feel like I managed to upgrade the wee tree a little as a reward for staying alive and convincing me to sacrifice time, effort and chunks of my paycheck to the hobby.

An old family sea chest im cleaning up for a friend.
Giving it the flip gave some interesting history on the bottom.
I've semi cleaned up the lid but will leave the sides raw, quick prime and a coat of matt black, its original colour.
Might poly underneath sealing the print, still debating.

thanks for the warning but already assembled. my garden hose is on municipal pressure at 120 psi, and I lose 20 on the 100ft of hose to the manifold. 4 way split gets the pressures down to under 35 psi for each of 4 chains so they don't blow. (the last split, if I flip every switch just runs the hose with shower head for manual watering)

Did a quiet shift at the Lynden Sculpture Garden and trimmed up two trees from the collection for a show.
