Your subject line sort of threw me on the account of being spelled the same but pronounced differently (as far as I have heard it said) as something else. I was trying to figure out how you made those out of wood, and used the backyard without the neighbors complaining, but I see now. Either pronunciation, sounds like a good weekend afternoon.
