When Handan asked me to build two planters to put between the garage doors, I jumped on the idea. Finally, I could build something again! Look, don't get me wrong - mailbox makeovers, lamp post makeovers, pantry makeovers - yeah, they're all well and good, but Jeezum Crow, I wanted to make, not makeover!…
Midsummer Vegetable Garden 2017
It always happened without warning. Sometimes it progressed slowly, so I was lulled for a time into thinking, maybe it's not really happening. Maybe it's just me. Sometimes it happened swiftly, overnight, and there was no doubt in my mind that something had gone terribly wrong. It was always something different, something new. And it…

Hi, I'm Handan! Remember me? I'm the other half of this blog: the better half! [You're delusional, woman! You're only one third of our combined weight! -Greg] :-D Joking aside, I can't thank my babes enough, because if it weren't for him taking the lead for the past two months on our blog, I wouldn't have been…
Mailbox Makeover
For three and a half years, Handan and I were the shameful owners of The Saddest Mailbox on the Lane.
