The hard life in New Jersey
One of the hardest things to cope with in New Jersey is the change in quality yogart providers. We are accustom to Belleweather A2 yogart but apparently it is only available in Costco’s on the west coast.
Staining the deck
A few years ago I stained a deck and I got a Shur-line wide applicator. It only came with one tray which was a pain. I can’t find where to get more trays. If anyone has a pointer let me know!
Also this tool looks awesome. Also by Shur-line.

Some of our screens needed repair. And so I did it.

(No popping tags).
Patersons like to vacuum

Fencing

Earlier this year I stained the boards
Blueberries

Here is what’s left
