This is the shooting bench that David made himself this weekend. We moved it out into the backyard this afternoon. It sits 100 yards opposite the target box at the other end of our yard. We dug the holes and put the bench in place ready for cementing. David will pick some up this week sometime and finish the job. It’s currently covered in plastic because David can’t stain/waterproof the wood until the temperature is a steady 50 degrees for a couple days and he doesn’t want the wood to get wet. Good move, David, as it rained this afternoon.
Next project is a family picnic table! What fun we will have with that this summer.
After the rain and a nap (as John had gotten us up at 6am this morning), David and John sat out on the porch and did some shooting. I was fortunate enough to snap a picture that shows the flash from the gun muzzle as the bullet leaves. Even though John is right-handed, he is left-eyed, evidenced by the fact that his left eye is open and his right eye is closed. David says that he’ll make a better pistol shooter than rifleman because of it. John loves this special time with David and he’s becoming a good little shooter.
ok. So we don’t have much grass. But we do have quite a few varieties of wildflowers that spring up all over our yard. Yesterday when we went to Home Depot I bought myself a deep purple clematis, one of my favorites, that I am looking forward to planting in the front yard near the house. Happy happy spring!
