The Mower the Merrier

There’s nothing like an obsession that’s been satisfied. Yesterday was sunny and bright after two days of dark and dreary and lo and behold, the grass was actually tall enough for the first mowing.
Ain’t life just grand though?
And so it was that I happily tossed the gas can into the back of my old Jeep [...]

Dark and Dreary, A New Moon and Related Matter.

Gah! It’s been gray and rainy for the last two days now and it’s enough to drive a semi-sane man into a hot shower on a permanent basis or at least for several hours. Either that or a nap until the sun comes out. Guess I was spoiled by an exceptionally warm April.

Okay… alright, I can handle this now. The grass isn’t up yet…it still thinks it’s…well…April fer heavens sake and April in the [...]

I know it’s a bit late but we did our annual egg standing bit or should I say that my honey did actually since I was headed down to the VA at the time. So for those that still don’t know about this, the Vernal Equinox is the only time during the year where you [...]

Depressed? Don’t Read the News.

If you suffer from depression in anyway my advice to you is to not read the latest news unless it’s from the Good News Network or some other site like that. It won’t help your outlook that’s for sure. Even I’m starting to feel down in the dumps.

Minding the Store Once Again

I’m off to the quilt shop again this morning since with the coming of Eastern Daylight Time this year also comes the start of Laurie’s busy season which usually runs from about this time of the year to January 1st of next year.
After the severe bout of Mad Baby Disease we’ve been through (the disease, [...]
