B Mills Special. That’s what we call the hack jobs that I often try and pass off as handy work around HBHQ. Sometimes I like to sign my handy work for Hannah to find later. Like the time I repaired our vacuum cleaner with duct tape. She noticed the repair and accompanying signature a couple months later.

Today, I tired of climbing under my work desk to fish out cables that had fallen from their place on top of the desk. A perfect time for a B Mills Special. Viola. Not exactly pretty, but no more falling cords either. No signature necessary.

I finally found some knobs that I love to use in Maggie’s room to get away from the boring, white plastic ones that we inherited when we bought the house.

I love the new ones, they are full of color and cheer. Simple changes like this make me so happy; however, I ran into one snag.

After successfully installing one knob, the other decided to stall out halfway through the hole. Um….I’m no tool whiz, but I don’t think this is a great thing, but thankfully I’ve got a handyman named Barry that can fix things like this.

 

It is really starting to feel like Spring around here. Each day it seems like another burst of color appears in our backyard, some of which we planted and some of which we didn’t.

I know that my mom came and stuck a bunch of things in the ground and for that I am so grateful, the tiny buds forming just make me happy to see.

I also know that the squirrels did a bit of rearranging last year after we planted some tulips, so now we’ve got tulips coming up in random places – like the middle of our yard.

I’m just thankful that the flowers are starting to put on a show….finally!
