Things currently driving me crazy

Number one on my list is this trellis. It's supposed to be a super cute little spot for my peas to wend around and support my future side dishes. It, however, does not seem to agree. In fact, it went kamikaze on me, and took a leap off of my balcony with the last gust of wind.

This is not going to cut it.

Can I break up with a trellis?


At some point when I have more energy, I'll figure out a way to make it stay put. Twine and a drill may be involved.


Number two:



That was once my lovely porch light. It was adorable, with a 6-inch glass covering. Unfortunately, when my boyfriend went to change the bulb, he overscrewed the braces, and it shattered the glass. Now, we just have a naked bulb.


It shouldn't be a tough fix, but the big-box stores in the area don't carry 6-inch coverings. It turns out that glass that size is a special order item.


Awesome.


Maybe I'll get to it tomorrow? Maybe.

  1. There are a couple nice local hardware stores (10th Street Hardware comes to mind, as well as Rittenhouse Hardware) and also that specialty lighting store near Rittenhouse, called Bulb at 21 and Locust. Surely one of those places can special-order your glass. And then not only do you get your light fixed, but you support a local business, instead of a big box store. Win, win!
