Hi All,=20

We've had 2 hard frosts and the race was on. I've finally finished =
digging flower beds and planting tulip bulbs and the crocuses. I dug up =
the small bed by hand and being new to the area was extremely delighted =
to also dig up some rather large pieces of quartz. There were already =
some rocks around the garden, but now I have more! It's lovely. My =
partner said I was the only one he knew that would bring a rock into the =
house and give it a bath. Where I come from (Manitoba) one simply does =
not find 10 lb pieces of beautiful white quartz in their flower bed.

After the last pile of rubbish was dumped on the compost heap, I came =
into the house and worked on those adjustments on my CI wheel.

BTW, Thanks to those who provided contact info. Seeing it here on =
Clayart made me get my butt into gear and call them about it. I thought =
I was just being picky about things at first, now I'm so very glad I =
called.

After I made the adjustments to my pedal and tightened the belt as =
instructed, the wheel responded much better and I'm very happy with it. =


I just finished trimming a very large flower pot and tomorrow I'm going =
to make a pedestal for it (keep it in two pieces so it's not so heavy to =
move) and I know just the place in the garden for it.

Hi All,

We've had 2 hard frosts and the race was on. I've finally finished digging
flower beds and planting tulip bulbs and the crocuses. I dug up the small
bed by hand and being new to the area was extremely delighted to also dig up
some rather large pieces of quartz. There were already some rocks around
the garden, but now I have more! It's lovely. My partner said I was the
only one he knew that would bring a rock into the house and give it a bath.
Where I come from (Manitoba) one simply does not find 10 lb pieces of
beautiful white quartz in their flower bed.

After the last pile of rubbish was dumped on the compost heap, I came into
the house and worked on those adjustments on my CI wheel.

BTW, Thanks to those who provided contact info. Seeing it here on Clayart
made me get my butt into gear and call them about it. I thought I was just
being picky about things at first, now I'm so very glad I called.

After I made the adjustments to my pedal and tightened the belt as
instructed, the wheel responded much better and I'm very happy with it.

I just finished trimming a very large flower pot and tomorrow I'm going to
make a pedestal for it (keep it in two pieces so it's not so heavy to move)
and I know just the place in the garden for it.
