It’s the middle of the day and I can hear the fireworks going off already. Boom Boom Boom. They are probably not fireworks, cannons maybe, but they are loud and constant. I was worried that my pup would be upset about it, but he doesn’t seem to even notice. I think his hearing might be going and that is usually a sad thing, but on days like today I think it’s a relief. I am still going to set him up with the kitty(snug as bugs) in my room tonight, so they can keep themselves company and ride out the craziness. I am thinking a little soft music on the radio and maybe turn on the nature channel for them as well (Wine perhaps? Sounds romantic, right?) I will cover the ladies coop, just in case the flashing from the sky makes them nervous. Gosh! The Fourth of July must seem like the world is ending to animals.

Jennifer Lake
Genre: Engineering & Transportation | Crafts, Hobbies & Home
FREE for a limited time
Woodworking involves creating works of art, although these works of art may not be as delicate as a painting or other art piece. When thinking of woodworking, imagine that you have a beautiful log before you, and you can transform this log into something that is a wonderful and beautiful form of art. By observation, wood products are seen everywhere these days and If you want to enhance the appearance of a room in your home, for instance, then there is no doubt you should include an authentic piece that has been made of wood. If you want to identify a piece made through woodworking, also known as a wood craft, you are likely to see one when you are visiting malls, offices, museums and even people’s homes. There is significant demand for woodworking products. Transforming an otherwise meaningless piece of wood and turning it into a beautiful artwork is what fuels the passion of the woodworker. Not only is it a fulfilling hobby, it can also be a profitable side business. Some people face a challenge when learning about woodworking because they are unable to focus on what draws their interests in this field. Having a perspective that is too broad will lead to a potential woodworker being discouraged, frustrated and soon giving up. It doesn’t help when a beginner takes on projects that are too difficult or tries to work with inadequate tools. Being ill prepared can cause one to make the wrong decision that woodworking is not their best choice. This guide will help you avoid making these mistakes to ensure that you become a successful woodworker.
