Another perfect gardening day
Garden log 4/9/24. Another perfect gardening day, and here’s a new addition — I added a birdbath (from City Escape) to the parkway, and this morning, filled it with hellebore blossoms.

A resin question having to do with cloudiness.
Okay, I have resin questions. I tried to make a nightlight with embedded LED lights, and I’m a little annoyed that I didn’t put the lights further back — I don’t like the wires being so visible. But my big question has to do with cloudiness. When I pour my coasters and unmold them, they’re
