Months ago I blogged about a DIY coldframe for the garden…believe me, protecting young seedlings from cold seemed a lot more topical back in January!!! A friend suggested I submit the project to a quasi-official IKEA hacking site given that the main components were indeed pieces of IKEA shelving I found lying about in our “garden room.”
Well the hacking site liked my project and I was told to watch for the “ping back” or link to my post. Here’s where things get weird. Today is July 31st – but in the Global Village somewhere I know it’s Aug. 1st. Because that’s the date of the post on this site…and this one…where my international debut is taking place RIGHT THIS VERY MINUTE> Or would that be tomorrow?!? Granted the first site is skimming the second…which is actually the site I originally contacted…soooo.
Just so you know? As of a few minutes ago when I checked, traffic on my blog was through the roof! And it’s not even tomorrow yet! The best part? The following quote:
Lorene presents us with her “urban hillybilly chic” hack – a cold frame to protect your vegetable patch from chilly weather.
I got to say
URBAN HILLBILLY CHIC
to the whole wide world!!!
I’m glad Seattle’s heat wave seems to have abated. I really need to get back to real life and accomplish something!
Cheers!
