Strawberries

Wild strawberries have invaded my patch. So now I have nice examples of wild, alpine and modern all mixed in. The problem with this is the wild ones have no flavor

Both the wild and the modern put out runners, in the modern the leaves are bigger and the runners fleshier, the runners on the wild are thin like wires. The leaves in the wild though are very similar to the alpine. So great care must be taken to not remove the wanted strawberries

Wooden bench

So the river brings me this nice weathered slab of something, and I think wow that would make a nice bench. So I cut holes in it with a spoonbit drill, and hewed this twisty chunk of cherry into billets for the legs of it, which I then shaved down to fit with a couple of drawknives, and drive home with a mallet. No modern tools at all.
