A Planting We Will Go! A Planing We Will Go!

Posted on Sunday, March 1, 2026 by Paul

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 →

We Gather Today!

Posted on Saturday, February 28, 2026 by Paul

We were up early, caffeinated, and trying to convince our brains that yes—today is a big deal.  Because today is Tomatomania. We’re rolling in with Miss Robin, Chef Bob, and Dianne (a.k.a. the Tomato Task Force). After we bravely choose … Continue reading →

Posted on Monday, February 2, 2026 by Paul

We did something today we NEVER do: I went to the gym alone, as Mary’s back is still recovering.  I am at my svelte 187 pounds, and a trip to the gym is needed to keep all the small pieces … Continue reading →

Posted on Sunday, February 1, 2026 by Paul

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 →
