Dew had a rose garden that has struggled to thrive because in my infinite wisdom I put it under/around a large sugar maple tree. This spring I moved the roses (if they survive) to the new and improved Paradise Garden (still much under construction). In place of the roses i planted Lilly of the...

Dew and I celebrated our 24th anniversary back on 2/28. Here is what she gave me: How did a guy like me get so dang lucky??? This is what Dew looks like "all cleaned up".

Dew and I got tired of fighting the flock last year and gave all of the birds to a local fellow. I warned him that there was probably more than one egg eater in the bunch. He has several coops and is better able to identify the trouble makers. We're starting from scratch today...

Dew, showing off her Valentines Day gifts:

It's been awhile since I've been here! Life has been pretty hectic lately, but now I find myself with some time on my hands so I can catch up with my TEG family :) Well, I guess the most important change I've had lately is that I'm currently unemployed. Don't panic though, it was voluntary. My...

A while back Dew forced me to adopt a little kitten that was hanging around the house. I think the cat is still mad at me for not agreeing right away. And the war was on. Kittens are notoriously jumpy, so I took every advantage of it. However, now that Bubbles has gotten older, she has decided...

Our youngest daughter JB (short for June Bug) has no fear. She holds snakes without question and will try nearly anything. But her boyfriend? Well...They were at the local apple festival today and had the opportunity to hold some exotic birds. Somebody is loving the experience, and somebody is...

For me, tonight, it's Blackfoot. Always been a fan of the Southern Rock genre. Highway Song is one of my favorites, Train, Train isn't bad either. Marshall Tucker Band with Fire on the Mountain and Take the Highway fit nicely as well; of course Heard It in A Love Song is always a good tune. I...

In another thread Dew posted something about the local high school band. A question was asked about uniforms. Here is our little JB in uniform: I still can't believe she's a sophomore. She already has a date for homecoming! :barnie

Wish Dew a HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!!:weee:ya:celebrate:woot Happy birthday Momma. I love you!

In another thread I mentioned that building computers was a hobby of mine. Our old PC was just that...OLD. I've kept it alive for years (running Vista!), replacing the power supply once and a stick of RAM, the hard drive... The motherboard was finally starting to fail. The hard drive...

Dew was rear ended by an idiot kid on Friday. She is fine, but is hurting around her neck. The car took a pretty good hit but is drivable (is that even a word?).

What a way to spend a Fathers Day. I have to drive to NC for a week. According to the pin for @majorcatfish, Ill be passing very close to him on my way to Raleigh/Morrisville.

That's my total hours this past week. Fifteen hours are travel that I don't get paid for. I've never been so ready for a weekend...considering I worked last weekend both Saturday and Sunday.

Well, it's not quite official yet, but we are under contract to buy a third lot on our little dirt road. It's adjacent to the lot we bought 5 years ago. We should close this coming week. I hope we do close soon because I'm off to NC for the week of the 22nd. The place was foreclosed on 18 months...

Dew has always wanted a white dogwood. I recently bought her a red one and planted it. Yesterday we were looking a wild cherry tree that has been cut down so many times it looks like a bush, and is just beautiful when it's blooming. Just down the hill from it, we spotted this: It's...

I was born. By official count, I have lived as many years as I now have hairs on my head.

My Fuji apple tree is blooming for the first time!!! I am so happy. It doesn't have more than a dozen flowers, but it's a good sign for next year. My poor Jonathan has had no pollinator nearby since the idiots that put in the city sewer across the back of the property cut down a wild apple tree...

I bought Dew a bunch of Gladiolus bulbs. Does anyone have any tips for growing them?

The weather was kind of crappy, but the new coop is underway. With any luck I will really finish it this coming weekend. Here's a sort of step by step... Step one: Cup of coffee and a review of the chicken scratch notes. I can see the coop in my head, so I'm good to go. Step two: Gather the...
