Making Lemonade out of a Big Heap of Wood
This recipe is absolutely incredible. First, find a free swingset on Craigslist or Freecycle. Second, spend an entire day dismantling and moving it and $20 on a rented truck. Third, move houses and have to move the heap of wood all over again. Fourth, store it in your spider-infested shed all winter. Fifth, lay it out in the grass for a few days. Sixth, attempt to reassemble it, ruing the day you didn’t bother taking a picture, or marking matching ends with color-coded paint splotches, or do anything at all to help you remember what it was supposed to look like. Seventh, wait a few more days, with the wobbly, half-assembled swingset haunting the backyard. Eighth, go to an urban garden, watch a movie on US food centralization, and listen to a book-on-tape about eating local foods. Ninth, decide to use the high-quality wood beams to build raised beds, in which you will make organic soil from compost. You may or may not grow lemons.
