Early Mother's Day present.

Fredrik bought me an early Mother's Day present. :) He's been wanting to get one for a long time, but when he thought about it as a present, there was no store that carried them, and most stores had no idea what he was talking about.. :P







I love it!! :)
It is a table and work area to work on my plants. :) It is oiled very well so it will be very okay to leave outside. And then during the Winter or when we are away, we can set it in the kitchen infront of the window there, and put the outdoor plants on it. It is perfect!
Although I secretly think he got it so that I won't leave dirt on the pellet room floor... :P :))


We also have an open pipe on our property at the bottom of the hill, where the roads cross. It was put in not that long before we moved in, which is why the sidewalk on our property was torn up (and never replaced - which is a constant project Fredrik has - is getting Åmål to repave the sidewalk - they claim that there was never a sidewalk there - even though we have the edges of concrete in our yard!!!) - but anywho.. :P



Working in construction can be a good thing.
Fredrik asked the "Belgians" (even though there is only one Belgian working on the project now) ... if they had an extra pipe cover. (From the sanitation project in Bengtsfors that Fredrik works on.) So Fredrik got a pipe cover and he sawed the underside of the lid so that it would fit the ground - and it turned out perfect! So now Åmål has no excuse to not repave the sidewalk - since we made sure the pipe is properly covered.

A pretty big pipe, though, huh?? :/ :)





And our rhubarb is doing very well! I can't wait for it to grow and make some fresh pies. :) MMmmm..!
