Robin, Mary, and I were up fairly early, chatting away because apparently we enjoy each other’s company enough to do it before coffee had fully taken effect.  Around 9:00 am., Robin headed out to visit and take care of her … Continue reading →

We had our coffee, then changed into our official “working clothes,” which are just regular clothes with a higher chance of dirt, sweat, and regret. First stop: Orange Farming Supply for additional veggies, because apparently our garden looked at us … Continue reading →

The Day Begins With Pain!

Posted on Monday, June 15, 2026 by Paul

Yes, today is Monday, and after a heroic weekend of working hard, playing harder, and making questionable snack-based decisions, we realized our bodies had officially filed a complaint. So we did what any responsible adults would do: we suited up … Continue reading →

Sunday With No Sun, Yet!

Posted on Sunday, June 7, 2026 by Paul
