Our neighbors are going away for a few days, and have asked us to chicken sit for them. It entails making sure they have plenty of fresh water, letting them out of the coop in the morning, and back in at night. That’s all there is to it. Oh, and we get to keep whatever […]

Strawbs Tix
Posted in Uncategorized on July 25, 2017 | 2 Comments »
Suh-weet. I just snagged tickets to see Strawbs at one of my two favorite venues, and got our two favorite seats! They’re contemporary with Moody Blues and Wishbone Ash, and sound like a weird mix of both, plus a few others from that era, including some country and Irish things, with their own sound. The […]
Gad-zukes!

Brought over another “care package” for our neighbors yesterday. Since their zucchini crop is underwhelming this year, we tucked in four zucchinis, a couple of straightneck yellow squashes, some bell peppers, jalapeños, Thai chilis, a loaf of homemade zucchini bread (the recipe I use from Beard on Bread makes two loaves), and a half-pint of […]
Got to (Partially) Return Favors

As many of you know, our next door neighbors occasionally drop off free range eggs for us. We had no way of reciprocating until the section of lawn we dug up, fenced in, and planted for a kitchen garden last Spring began to produce something. It’s producing loads of stuff, but the only things harvestable […]
Best Bathing Suit EVAH

Generally speaking, I look much better in one piece suits than bikinis. But, when they’re wet, they are so difficult to get out of, and back into, when a potty run is needed. A “skirtini” is a good second choice, and I have one that looks fine on me. But, on a lark, I bought […]
Cousin Visiting Next Weekend

Finally, we have a (semi) firm date for my cousin and her husband to visit us, and see our farm. I’ve never met her husband, but mom likes him. Of course she would; when she first met him, he spent an entire day working on the iPad dad used before he died, to get it […]
Box Blade and Baby Gate

Ever since I bought that used Kubota tractor with less than 300 hours on it, my other half has decided it’s the best thing since sliced bread. Originally, it came with a 48″ mower deck, and landscape tires. I paid extra for a new snowblower for the three point hitch, and a set of wheels/tires […]
Pet Store

The one I use happens to be Pet Supplies Plus. Some things are cheaper elsewhere (rawhide strips at my local grocery store, or pig ears from my local feed mill). Nonetheless, it’still the best place to go for kitty litter, cat food, and dog food, when they have a sale going. This time, I forgot […]
