What "Traditional Knife" are ya totin' today?

I toted the old peach seed 881 all day today, at work and to Valentine's Day dinner with my wife at Outback. Wonderful Delmonico ribeye and a glass of California Cab. 😋

How Green Was My Valley






A bit of routine gardening,don’t for a minute think that I know what I am doing. 🤣

The lady in the garden centre said get the pot plants of the ground and leave drainage holes free.

I had some old bricks and used those,any better way to do it?

I cleared weeds out of the pots and front garden border.

Planted Tulips that flowered very soon then planted some smaller hardy daffodils in the border and pots (the lady recommended).

I call this lads gardening,plant and forget and they reappear next year. 😁

It rained non stop I got cold and wet,but I’m working class/Army I need to suffer a bit doing manual work to feel good (even if I’m now to old). 🤭


Ibberson knife gifted to me by the generous Jack Black,it hangs on my shed door with other tools easy to grab and frequent use.



Could someone link Jack for me please,I can’t do it on a iPad.






















Good work John
The bricks will work or you can get saucer/trays to match your pots, being on bricks the water drupin from your pots will probably mark your pavers.
When I pot I like to work fertilizer through the mix, chicken manure works good I find
 
Abby is back to her routine since her visit to the Vet and things have setteled down on the homestead. They say there's a wing-dinger of a snow storm approaching in the next few days; therefore, Soddies will be a perfect carry for the next few days- this Bull Nose today. Sausage and eggs for breakfast.View attachment 3105783
Weather reporters sure invent strange names.
But I like Wing Dinger better than Blizzard Bomb.
Both new to me. This is my first Buck 112. I found a new love.

There are a lot fancier, and spendier Barlows out there, but the Schrade 206 has the most handsome bolsters of them all.
In my not unbiased opinion.😎
 
I wasn't planning on posting here today, since I'm still carrying the same knife from my last several posts. But, I saw this ladybug on a post while walking the dogs, so here's a couple of shots from that walk today.

Happy Valentines Day to that ladybug, and all of you on The Porch!
We don't even have to go outside to see stinkbugs, box elder bugs, and Asian beetles...
Although way fewer than before we replaced all our windows!
Awesome,. classic pair.
Thanks, Rick!
