Hi everyone, Welcome back! How are you? I had a productive day yesterday, but it led to another night of rough sleep, which is getting a little annoying. BDH and Little Buddha want me to take it easy until it's time to go do Dad Clutter's grocery shopping, and it's hard to argue with those two. Maybe I'll do a little cleaning around here, and then the three of us can listen to the birds chirp for a while. In any case, the sun is shining, and the guys made coffee, so let's get to work. Grab yourself a nice... Read more →

Hi everyone, Welcome back! How are you? Yesterday's expected rain never arrived, which was a little disappointing as far as the garden is concerned. However, it let me get in a bike ride and then spend most of the afternoon/early evening playing in the dirt, so it all worked out well. I slept poorly for the second night in a row last night. Not sure what that's all about. Maybe it has something to do with the change in temperatures? In any case, apologies in advance if today ends up being a little more rambling than usual. BDH and Little... Read more →

Hi everyone, Welcome back! How are you? I had a great time hanging out in the garden yesterday. That rain a couple of days ago must have had plant food in it, because everything had a growth spurt. BDH and Little Buddha said the forecast calls for more rain this morning. That's fine. Not being able to play in the dirt would make it easier to focus on other tasks on today's to-do list. Of course, the first item is to check out the headlines with all of you. The guys say the coffee is ready, so grab yourself a... Read more →

Hi everyone, Welcome back! The world may be insane, but at least the sun is shining, and the birds are chirping, so that's a start. The birds are actually a big deal here. One of the many reasons we were sad to lose the Clutter Tree last fall is that BDH and Little Buddha used to love watching the birds hanging out on its branches all summer. The guys did that for hours at a time, and they were crushed to lose one of their favorite hobbies. However at least they can still listen to all of the singing. Maybe... Read more →

Hi everyone, Welcome back! How are you? Congratulations on making it through another week. The weather finally seems to be moving into a more seasonable range. BDH and Little Buddha said we're going to have highs in the 70's today! They also said we're expecting a thunderstorm this afternoon/evening, but still, 70's! That calls for coffee (because really, everything calls for coffee.) They just made a fresh pot, so grab yourself a nice medium DD, and let's clear out some Friday Clutter. Joe Biden said he will not pardon Donald Trump if he's elected president. Biden also said that his... Read more →

Hi everyone, Welcome back! How are you? I'm a little tired. Woke up a couple of times early this morning, not sure why. Yesterday was a busy day, so I assumed it would lead to a night of uninterrupted sleep. Oh well. I was ready to start grumbling about the temperatures again this morning, but BDH and Little Buddha tell me things should start getting warmer today. Also, the wind has finally died down, so that's good. There's plenty on today's to-do list, so the guys said they'd make the coffee a little stronger than usual. They put a fresh... Read more →

Hi everyone, Welcome back! How are you? We're all okay at the moment. Still annoyed by the unseasonably cool weather, but at least the sun is shining, and the birds seem to be having fun as they chirp up a storm. I woke up for a few minutes around 4:30 this morning, and they were already chatting away about something or other. BDH and Little Buddha think they were talking about whether or not there will be any baseball this year. They apparently don't sound optimistic. In any case, let's check out today's headlines. The guys made coffee, so grab... Read more →

Hi everyone, Welcome back! How are you? We're all fine at the moment. A little annoyed that the heat still needs to come on, even briefly, on May 12. Other than that, things are good. Had a productive day yesterday which included my first bike ride of the year, and that was terrific. The rain came a little bit after I got back, so the garden is looking good. Today is grocery shopping day, and that's always an adventure. After that's done, there are a few things I've been procrastinating about, so BDH and Little Buddha will try to help... Read more →

Hi everyone, Welcome back! How are you? We hope you all had a great weekend. I got to spend some time in the garden yesterday, which was nice. I could have done without the incessant wind, but it was a fitting way to celebrate Mother's Day. The tulips are coming in, and it seems like the other plants are doing well so far, which makes me happy. BDH and Little Buddha say the weather forecast calls for rain for most of this afternoon and into the evening. Something tells me it will end up just being a few sprinkles, but... Read more →

Hi everyone, Welcome back! Come on in, have a seat. How are you? What a dreary day. It's raining now (we won't talk about what it did earlier), and we're supposed to be dealing with strong winds all day, with the temperatures staying in the 40's. Feels more like early April than May. We don't care for it. Don't care for any of it. I guess the positive side is that it will be easy to stay inside today. Since we're all here, how about we check out today's headlines? BDH and Little Buddha just made a fresh pot of... Read more →
