My husband. God Bless him. If he was some random worker guy and I had to hire him to build me something, I would not pay him by the hour. I’d also dock his pay every time he needed to run to The Home Depot for something he had forgotten.
That being said, I do love him. And he’s turning out to be a great craftsman. Even if his projects seem to take a little longer {I’m being generous here} than anticipated, he always comes through in the end with EXACTLY what I asked him to build.
This whole being around your spouse 24/7 thing, it takes some getting used to. Especially when you have two people who are polar opposites when it comes to how they approach a project or buying items for said project.
I loath driving, and so when I leave the house with the purpose to buy something, I have a list of like 10 stops we’ll need to make because driving is such a time suck {not that I’m the one doing the actual driving or anything, because I’m not}. Nobody quite believes me when I tell them I could easily go an entire month without leaving the house. 6 months? I bet I could do it, no problem.
My husband on the other hand, he doesn’t mind going to the store for a bag of hot dog buns. Or to go get gas {isn’t gas something you get when you are already out?}. I just don’t get it. If I have to leave the house you can pretty much bet I have a route mapped out on an index card with all the stops numbered. When I leave home, or go out, I’m on a mission. Get in, get out, get home, no dawdling. Chop chop. There’s better things to do than driving around town all day.
Wait a second, wasn’t this blog post supposed to be about the vegetable stand the HH just built for me? See, this is why I shouldn’t write at 2 am. It just comes out as gibberish. You know, like someone who lives in their own little world and never leaves home and just talks to people on the internet instead of going out in public. Bahahahaaa.
Then again, if I am going to survive these New England summers, maybe I am going to have to switch things up a bit and actually do all my writing at night instead of in the mornings. Because seriously, if it’s going to be 80 degrees by 9 am, when am I supposed to pull my weeds?
Also, I’m really getting tired of being bit on the head by mosquitoes. It doesn’t seem to matter how much bug spray I put on, or even if I wear a hat… Those pesky blood suckers still manage to fly by and take a chunk of skin out of me every time I step outside.
But hey! The vegetable stand. It’s done! How exciting is that?
Now all that’s left to do is make a bunch of cute signs, maybe hang some fairy lights and get those lazy hens of mine to lay some eggs. Country life. I think it suits us. Even if we are totally winging it. 😉
Have a wonderful Wednesday everyone!

P.S. The HH didn’t use a plan for this vegetable stand. I just told him what I wanted and he figured it out on his own. How cool is that? Plans, we don’t need no stinkin’ plans.
