Our Begonias will be thrashed and trashed by the rain we're having
so I'm posting this one from BTR (before the rains)...
Invites not necessary; your thoughtful and respectful comments
are more appreciated.
Hon. Thomas Temple noted that work horses sometimes could not bend low enough to drink due to the way their reins were made. In 1899, he donated this large granite watering trough which could be used without the horse lowering its head. Apparently he was not aware that a horse cannot drink without doing so. The trough is a now an elegant flower box, at the corner of Queen and Saint John Streets, Fredericton.
The tradition of me buying a new tool for every DIY project continues.
This is a sliding bevel. It is very useful in copying angles without measuring it. Measuring anything in order to copy is a common source of error (when transcribing measurements lazy humans like me tend to round it off, measure incorrectly, etc)
According to our two year old daughter, a penguin lives behind our shed. Look real hard, and maybe you'll spot him!

THE LOOP:
Chicago's Loop is the city's official downtown area. The second largest downtown business district in the United States, the Loop's boundaries are the Chicago River on the west, Michigan Avenue on the east, Wacker Drive on the north and Congress Parkway on the south. The Loop is known for its famous skyscrapers and historic buildings; it has been the site of architectural creativity and experimentation for years.
The first installation of this unique vertical garden was completed in September 2007. The garden consists of over 500 plants and 80 different species.

Then, I place the handle along the edge of the plan, and the blade of the bevel will indicate the line on the plank to cut along. Simple!
(of course this assumes your plank has a nice straight edge, but you won't buy a plank with a wonky edge, will you? )

The stunning 5-floor landmark building (Classical Revival style) originally opened in 1897 and housed the first Chicago Public Library and a Civil War Memorial.
When the central public library moved to a new home in the Loop in 1991, the Chicago Cultural Center moved in.
One of the most comprehensive free art showcases in the USA - it's known as the "People's Palace" - providing Chicago both a local and global arts cultural scene from radio, literature, art, music, dance to theater, film and lectures.
The building is home to 2 magnificent stained-glass domes. One by George Healy and Louis Millet in the Grand Army of the Republic rotunda. The other a Louis Tiffany of the Tiffany Glass and Decorating Company in the Preston Bradley Hall - reported to be the largest Tiffany dome in the world at 38 feet in diameter with some 30,000 pieces of glass in 243 sections held within an ornate case iron frame. In 2008 it was fully restored to Tiffany's original vision as it was in 1897.
This bench is in a green space between buildings on Main St. along with three other benches. The artist, Nicole Zoe Miller, has painted the bench to look like an upholstered sofa. She's also taken the flower box from the left side and added it to the one on the right to make a television set. I believe the "stories" in the title refer to soap opera episodes.
The 2019 public art project entries were unveiled last Saturday. They are benches with attached flower boxes built by the Veterans Outreach group and decorated by local artists. The theme is "Racine's Past, Present and Future".
