By Kirk M | Published March 21, 2009

First walk of the season

By Kirk M | Published March 15, 2009

We took our first walk of the season this afternoon. Never knew I’d be so glad to see mud again.
Of course this meant rummaging around the closet for the sneakers we exchanged for winter foot gear back in October. I always forward to feeling like my feet are about ten pounds lighter than they have [...]

Feels Like April in Virginia in Vermont

By Kirk M | Published April 19, 2008

Good God, it’s 80 degrees out according to my weather sticker in the sidebar or it was when I began writing this post and I have to agree with that. I just came in from working out in the yard with Laurie’s youngest son, Kenny (he and his family live upstairs) and by the time [...]

Crocus Among Us

By Kirk M | Published April 9, 2008

The warmer weather is officially here! I looked out my front porch window at the old flower bed that the original owners of the house had planted who knows how long ago and lo and behold, there was a crocus (or whatever) in full bloom. Of course I had to take a picture of it [...]

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 [...]
