a day in alpine

Stocked up once again....made a run to Johnson Feed for some huge feed tubs they sell for 6 bucks - got 10 this trip to be recycled into planters for the greenhouse.  Grabbed some potting mix at Alco on sale to use in various blends with my own soil and compost mixes to get some plants started soon.  Hoping to ween myself from the grocery store at some point this year.  There are two food stores in Alpine...both called Porters Thriftway.  The one I shop at used to be called the Food Basket - some locals called it the Food Casket.  Gassed up at Stripes then hit Subway - a half step up the food chain from MacDonald's. 

My buddy Greg Hillje sent me these images he did of the greenhouse, experimenting with Google Sketchup for the first time.  Nice job - something about a computer rendering makes this look "official".
