Tuesday Morning Grumps

It’s almost 10am, and I sit here in my robe – wet hair still holding conditioner…  Our well pump is about as fickle as a teenager.  It works, but sometimes it decides it doesn’t want to.  This is one of those mornings.  So, I wait until it kicks back on.
I have been doing some research [...]

Rain Delay

Did you know that moles are actually good for [...]

Bring on the Heat!

I don’t do well in heat, and yet this is the second day of 90 + weather.  Bleh.  The garden is loving it, though!  Pretty much everything has “popped” and I even have 3 tomatoes on the cherry tomatoe bush!
I have some areas I need to replant … some of my cucumbers didn’t take – I [...]
