Today marks the first day of the old Roman calender. This month is named for the Roman god of war, Mars. It is two weeks to the Ides of March made famous by William Shakespeare in his play about Julius Caesar. It is also St David's day the patron saint of Wales so today is a holiday for the Welsh.
The dibbles pictured below will soon be useful in the garden. I make them out of many exotic hardwoods and they should last the average gardener a lifetime of use or display.
I am often asked "What else do you make"? The answer to that is pretty much what ever it is that you might want, if it is interesting and possible. Sometimes people want things made that are only possible in plastic. They get the idea from going to Walmart that everything should be cheap. So few have any concept of what is involved with a custom item made from exotic real wood. They are more content with cheap that lasts a couple of months when for a little more they could have something to pass to thier children.

Thank you for stopping by and leaving a comment. I also encourage my daughter to keep a journal. Though one time she left it open and I was reading a page and I was impressed and saddened by the emotions she felt.
