The *grrrrrrr* yard structure project
I'm getting pretty perturbed over these mosaic yard pieces. The freaking grout won't freaking dry. That's issue #1. Issue #2? Look at the wire that is supposed to hold up the piece. It's all wonky and very unstable. It is so not easy to bend; I can't get it to fit nicely to the form of the pot or get a nice sharp bend to the straight portion that's supposed to go into the ground. Stiffer than stiff, but it seems to fall over easily when I plunk the pot in there. I had plans to paint the wire so it's not so offensive to the eye, but I want to first make sure it can hold up the pot. That's what these are, by the way, pots. You stick a plant in 'em. But if it can't stand up on its own without a plant, I'm not about to put a plant in there. I dunno. I get frustrated very easily when things don't work as they should. (Remember, I was emotionally and mentally stunted at or before the age of 5.) I thought I'd have ten beautiful garden pots within a week, and here it's been more than a week, and I'm still fighting with the first one.
I should stick to things like yogurt-making.
(It looks pink, but it's not. Funky lighting.) Ferments love me.
I'm trying to psych myself into trying my hand at mozzarella again today. It's really not a difficult process. It's more that the five-year-old in me comes out when things don't go the way they are supposed to, and, so far, with mozzarella, they haven't. One can only consume so much kefir, though. I should know better than to get three gallons of milk at a time.
