i don't use one of those here but i do have a D handle garden spade (square blade) which does a good job at trenching but unfortunately this heavy clay soil we have makes it a challenge for these shovels to last very long if i try to pry up too large of chunks when it is getting too dry out...

plenty of rain and hail last night, no damage that i know of but it is still dark out there. some larger hail than i've heard in a long time so i was curious how big the chunks might have been but i couldn't really tell last night when i tried to look out the patio door or the garage. it did...

i did that the other day. need to do it again. i'm stuck at the moment with a few things so won't manage it for today but it looks pretty nice out there! 64F fair and breezy is the report. for back exercise digging/shovelling is much better than walking - gardening season will be here soon...

it sure is a good way to find out if you are really compatible with someone is to take off in the middle of winter for a trip across the country. we didn't have chains for the tires in some passes where it would have been a good idea and we had to stop in the park visitor center at the Grand...

i really need the exercise and we've not had much at all the past month. :(

haha, so much for plans... we didn't have any envelopes and on top of that the state recommends that even if you don't owe any thing that if you do file a federal return you should also file a state return to "eliminate unnecessary correspondence from Treasury".

raining this morning and 61F going up to about 66F later, then dropping back down to cooler overnight. not too bad this week until Wed night when they have forecast for rain and snow mixed until Friday. no plans on getting out the shovels just yet but they're ready anyways until the end of...

i vote for goat on the porch... i used to have that happen at the apartment i was renting in TN up in the hills, the guy had a field with a pony and some goats there to keep each other company but the goats would often get out and come visit me (because i gave them carrots and they were no...

when i was living up north and renting the attic the landlord slept on the 2nd floor. one night someone came in and slept on the couch and left in the morning. i never heard a thing but the landlord said he heard them get up and leave. probably someone who was coming home from the bar who...

i haven't had to do much for taxes for a long time (if you don't earn taxable income you don't have to file if nobody is withholding taxes) but this year i do have to file even if i do not owe any taxes again. just because i withdrew some money from my Health Savings Account. there's a lot of...

potato soup got finished off for brunch today. not sure what dinner will be. maybe half a peanut butter sandwich and some oranges.

seems early, hope it doesn't get frosted! :)

composting doesn't have to be complicated, if you don't want to get into layering and wondering if your pile is moist enough or needs to be turned you can just bury scraps deep enough in a spot in the garden and the worms and the rest of the soil community will figure it out. pretty much the...

they are also very loud!

wheee! still on track even with recent fireworks. took some damage but not nearly as much as it would have been had i not changed my approach.

cardinals are pretty cheerful with their bright color, their shape and their singing when spring starts to perk up a bit. :)
