Built two more raised beds for the garden and planted cucumbers, more tomatoes, lettuce and basil.
Took all three grandkids to the zoo with help from my daughter and three college friends staying the weekend.
Transplanted my four mint plants to separate large pots and attempting to get some azalea cuttings to root.
Set up three beds for flowering vines
Also raked the leaves between my shop and the fence on the other side of my backyard.
And I'm still not done <g>.

Planted parsley, basil,sage, and potatoes lord help me. Loml wanted spuds so I planted spuds. Finished the laundry room vanity and was told that since it came out so well she wanted a kitchen island built with the same style. Add that to the rest of the cabinets. Mowed for the third time, [ where do all you guys live that you can start mowing this late in the year? Alaska?] Sharpened seven chisels, three plane irons and a pita quarter inch mortising chisel.
About average for a spring weekend around here.
Teaching grandchildren the hobby is rewarding. Most of the time

I did some maintenance on my car:
new timing belt & tensioner
water pump, themostat & associated gaskets
new cam and crank seals
plugs & wires
valve cover gaskets & plug gaskets (common source of oil leaks on Subarus)
new AC and Alt belts
new radiator hoses
Yes, it started back up :-)

I'm confused. What did I do this past weekend? Or what will I have accomplished on the weekend before May 12th?
This last weekend, I did nothing in the shop and nothing to improve the home. I'm trying to rid myself of a month-long flu bug that has me hacking up some nasty stuff. I'd rather not add sawdust to the mix.
In four weekends, I hope to be finishing up (or finished with) my work bench. I would love to have it ready to go in the new shop by the end of May.

I babysat 12, 9 year olds all day Saturday and Sunday and didn't kill any of them.

I finished painting and put this (mostly) back together:
1945 Delta HD shaper, in cream and maroon. I still am awaiting the second dust door, attach height gauge and pointer, have to get knobs for both doors, and need to put the fence back together. This was taken after it's test run.
