If we had no winter, the spring would not be so pleasant; if we did not sometimes taste of adversity, prosperity would not be so welcome. Anne Bradstreet

And if men come unto me I will show unto them their weakness. I give unto men weakness that they may be humble; and my grace is sufficient for all men that humble themselves before me; for if they humble themselves before me, and have faith in me, then will I make weak things become strong unto them. Ether 12:27

Yea, all things which come of the earth, in the season therof, are made for the benefit and the use of man, both to please the eye and to gladden the heart; Yea, for food and for raiment, for taste and for smell, to strengthen the body and to enliven the soul. And it pleaseth God that he hath given all these things unto man; for unto this end were they made to be used, with judgment, not to excess, neither by extortion. D&C 59:18-20

Another beautiful fall day in Kansas

I want to take advantage of the beautiful fall weather so I am going out on the patio to finish up some more of my totes -- staking them to the ground so they will be sturdy against the wind next spring and get maximum sunlight.  Once I got out there, I noticed that the watermelon tote on the north side needed to have its handles trimmed so I could put it up against the wall, so I did that.

I got the watermelon tote dowels all drilled and dug, and attached to the tote, but forgot to put the tape before putting the cantaloupe tote in place, so I will use clothespins for now to secure the back side and go around the bushes to get to the backside of the tote on the next nice day.

I did the cantaloupe tote, using only two bags, and it worked fine.  I ran out of the pink duct tape and don't know where my roll of silver duct tape is so that was it for the day, and I was pooped anyway.

I have another smaller tote to secure the black plastic on the back side, and a black tote that I use to pull away to get access to the yard until I get this project all done that I have to secure the dowels to.  And the strawberry tote still has to have black plastic put on it.  but the preparation work is near completion.
