Hammers and nails

The boys did get some good work accomplished before the snow fell. And the girls (that would be me and daughter-in-law) got some good shopping accomplished. Of course we can do that in any weather.

Their work involved sawing

and measuring

and leveling and...


carpenter's pencils!


I'm not sure why, but a carpenter pencil, especially a carpenter pencil under a hat, really warms my heart. I guess it's because my dad was a carpenter, and my grandpa and my brother. I pretty much grew up with carpenter pencils. There were probably carpenter pencils in one of my earliest memories.
