Pictures

Take pictures of everything you do!

Seems pretty straight- forward, doesn't it? The reality is, once you start doing stuff, the camera doesn't always come to mind. I could kick myself for not getting a picture of our kids and their friends with paintbrushes in hand staining our deck boards all in one afternoon. The job should have taken 2 days but with so many brushes on the go...voila! Done before supper. And not one picture!

The point is, take lots of pictures even if you don't use them. It's the ones you don't take you're going to miss and with a digital camera you can

ditch anything you don't want to keep, no charge!

Keep a scrapbook of what you have accomp- lished. It doesn't have to be elaborate. If you are into formal scrapbooking, there is alot to choose from out there to compliment a gardening theme. If you're not...keep a simple photo album in chronological order (fill it as you take 'em). Friends and family like to see how you did it!
