the past few days, looking out to the south, i was getting worried that the taller plants i was seeing in there were thistles. i got a short walk out there to see yesterday and yes, it is... :( i had planned to call the neighbors who own the field to ask them what was up a few weeks ago. a...

very floofy!

:) thanks! someday we may meet there...

let me guess, the first one was free? ...

one of my brother's and i played a lot of Risk, i figured out that if you dealt a random game (deal the cards out to split the board) then the person who goes first can usually win by just blasting every place you possibly can - the other person can rarely recover from that. unless you get...

i almost bought a place in TN that had a cesspool system and that was it. included in my low price was the fact that i'd have to replace it. glad it worked out that my offer wasn't accepted. after i'd moved on from that area there was a major storm which washed out the roads and bridges and...

way back i played some of the Squad Leader type games with a BIL but that didn't last too long as he ended up becoming an ex-BIL. it was fun while it lasted. after that not much gaming until college and a group of us were playing Diplomacy and a few other games until people got too mad at each...

i hope all the rest come through for you. :)

boss lady...

i don't consider the USoA as developed as it now looks to be degenerating and in terms of health care we're rather poor at it (we spend a lot more for poorer quality and not the best results).

and then a change of plans since there was a change in the weather forecast for evening rains. so i got my butt out there this afternoon/evening for a few hours to get the garden more prepped and even planted most of it. and yes the rains came along and i'm happy about that. the downside was...

got the ex strawberry patch taken care of for now and i can go out later and do an hour or two of more prep work so it will be ready to plant in the morning. a break for lunch happened and a siesta is calling me on speed dial...

we had pizza for lunch and i'm not sure what we'll do for dinner, but i'd be ok with some warmed up frozen veggies with a bit of butter on them.

planted a row of beans, weeded some pathways, started turning the ex-strawberry patch, not done yet, will have to finish that up tomorrow and will hope to have it planted Monday. was dumping weeds on the weed pile and heard a noise that made me look closer and find out what it was. another...

i'd be irked too... putting it mildly...

today finished up planting one garden with three rows of mixed beans (a variety of selections from last season's crop) and of course i also put some Purple Dove beans in with them to make sure there were plenty of chances to get some more crosses. when i harvest from this part of the garden...

yesterday was the annual running of the worms finale and over the past several months i've been thinking of retiring from worm keeping and so i have not restarted the worm buckets yet and i may not until the fall or perhaps never. i did learn a lot about them from keeping them and taking care...

i did get the peppers planted and now can get on with the beans in all of the rest of the gardens. will take me a week or two depending on the weather and whatever else comes up.

i can talk to her in detail about plans, she'll say sure, i'll get half-way through a project and she'll say she doesn't like it, i'll stop working on it and it will sit there and then eventually she might complain about it and i'll then finish it how i planned on doing it from the start or...

i'd mentioned to Mom that until i was done planting beans that i wasn't really available to help her with projects until the gardens were planted. i've already been pulled away from planting about a week extra due to the glass being blown out of the lighthouse and other things she's needed help...
