I usually write about all the great things that happen here. For those of you who think everything here goes seamlessly though, here are some not so great things that happened here this week:

• None of my jelly gelled. (The best advice I read on this was to relabel it all “syrup.”)
• I painted a whole bunch of timbers with the wrong finish.
• Turtles started eating our cucumbers.

None of this is life shattering, and stuff like this happens here all the time. I just thought I’d share it so you all don’t think we live in the land of magic wonderfulness. :)

Success is not the most common outcome of trying new things.
