Alexa announced we’d hit a glorious 83°F today—basically Mother Nature’s way of saying, “Get outside and plant, you lazy humans.” So our first mission was to unload the Grey Ghost (which sounds like a haunted battleship, but is actually just … Continue reading →

Today we got 1 and 5/8th inches of rain! Today we expected rain, and the weatherman nailed it.  He said 9:00 am, and it started at 9:01—basically wizard-level accuracy.  Of course, that’s the exact moment we were headed out for … Continue reading →

I woke up giggling because of yesterday’s situation.  OK, it is 2:30 pm, and Mary has been sitting watching TV and doing her needlepoint for quite a while.  As a dutiful husband, I stepped out of the 85-degree heat to … Continue reading →
