Leafy Candles Part #1.
-Putting away some of the stuff off the back deck.Side tables, chairs, plant pots.. -Rounding up a few balls or sandbox toys that are still outside.. -Bringing in the tomato cages.. -Sweeping down spider webs around doorways.. -Sweeping the front steps.. -Planting a handful of Spring bulbs.. -Putting down a few sheets of newspaper and some mulch to prevent weeds in flower beds (just a little at a time again!).
Individually, all these little jobs are pretty insignificant, but if I pick seven of them to do in a week, then I find I’ve actually made some pretty good progress!.Getting outside a bit more is helping me enjoy my surroundings more too.Can you spot the tiny purple flowers whose name I forget, but who I planted this Spring and who decided to bloom again in the Fall for some reason?.
I love knowing that this whole area is going to be just full of daffodils in March and April and I didn’t agonize over trying to plants hundreds of bulbs like last year and then just not get around to it.15 minutes was all it took!
If I decide to, I may even do one more 15 minute bulb planting session, but no 3 hour planting marathons for me..
So there you go.When tightened, the tension will draw the 2 spindles together, pushing the sides outwards in the direction of the arrows safely securing the baby gate in place..
This is where the trial and error may come into play.Once you have the gate in the opening and you start to attach the ‘first attempt’ u-bolt, you will quickly see if that particular size will work and if not, what changes are needed for successful installation..
If everything works correctly, you’re now able to place the gate in the opening and lock in place by tightening the wing-nuts and later remove the gate by loosing the wing-nuts..Hopefully you found this easier to understand than it was to explain.. Courtenay here: Thanks, Chris!
