Fort Knox

We have finally finished sealing the garden away from bad influences. Yesterday, we put up the last of the netting designed to keep cute little songbirds and other nasty vermin out of the garden. Here is the netting on the ground being cut to length and sewed together.

And here is the final result.

As we were creating this cozy little fortress in the wilderness, we decided that it would be a great place for grand kids to sleep out in. I can hear the following dialog already:

• Grandchild: Mom, I don't want to sleep in the garden.
• Mother: I know, but can't you do it for just one night? It makes your grandparents so happy.
• GC: But Mom, it's creepy. There is bugs and stuff.
• M: Just humor them, OK? Put the sleeping bag outside, and they will forget all about it in twenty minutes.
