Hi folks, Welcome back! How was the rest of your weekend? That blizzard was no joke. It seemed like it got off to a slow start, but we ended up with something in the 12-18 inches range. I'm just thankful it was light snow, because otherwise, I'd still be outside shoveling. Are you as excited as we are for the end of January? BDH's birthday is in two weeks, and then two weeks after that is March. Once we are in March, we can start talking about the start of gardening season! BDH and Little Buddha just told me that...

Hi folks, How are you? BDH and Little Buddha have been staring out the window watching the snow fall. I have to say, it doesn't look "that" bad out there at the moment. However, the forecast still calls for blizzard conditions for about the next 10 hours, so I should probably keep my mouth shut. It's going to be a quiet day around here. The to-do list calls for watering the plants, doing some reading, and then maybe seeing what's on TV, because we're not going anywhere. (Speaking of which, we will probably next be back with all of you... Read more →

Hi folks, Welcome back, and a happy Friday to you all! Well, I'm not sure "happy" is the right word. BDH and Little Buddha were just reviewing the latest weather forecast, and it looks like we're on track for 18-24 inches of snow tomorrow. I guess I should appreciate that it took this long into the winter to get a major storm like this, but...ugh. On a related note, we'll be here tomorrow, assuming we have power. If it goes out, 1) ugh again, and 2) we hope to be able to see you on Monday. We do have some... Read more →

Hi folks, How are you? I was just talking to BDH and Little Buddha about this weekend's weather forecast. The snow totals seem to be slowly decreasing, but they're still way too high for my liking. The guys are trying to get me to not focus on it so much, and they suggest I just prepare to do some extensive stretching first. They also point out that it's supposed to be warm next week, so that will help with the aftermath. In the meantime, they think I should just enjoy the fact that sunsets are about 40 minutes later than... Read more →

Hi folks, Welcome back! How are you? Sorry we couldn't connect yesterday. It was the anniversary of Mom Clutter's death, and I needed some downtime. Still went to the bookstore, but there was nothing new for BDH and Little Buddha. They just finished their Lucifer books, so I was disappointed to come up empty, but they said not to worry about it. They're okay with taking a short reading break, and they are still supposed to get something in the mail this month, so hopefully that will arrive soon. In the meantime, the guys say we're about to start another... Read more →

Hi folks, Welcome back, and a happy Monday to you all. We hope you enjoyed the rest of your weekend. Yesterday was quiet and relaxing around here. We did some reading and then watched some playoff football. As far as today goes, we're supposed to have a service call at some point between 8-12 this morning. The last time I needed these folks, they cancelled without telling me. That would normally be a deal-breaker, but I think they're the only people who can do what we need, so fingers crossed this appointment goes off without a hitch. BDH and Little... Read more →

Hi folks, How are you? Weekend going okay so far? No complaints on this end. I ran the usual Saturday errands and then enjoyed some playoff football. It looks like today will probably be pretty quiet. I need to take one quick trip after we're done here, and then it's back to watching the games. BDH and Little Buddha prefer watching the Patriots play, but they still enjoy the drama of the postseason, even when it involves other teams. However, let's check out the headlines before we do any of that. The guys made coffee, so grab yourself a nice... Read more →

Hi folks, Welcome back, and a happy Friday to you all! What's on tap for the weekend? I'm not sure what we're going to do, except for the usual errands and watching the NFL playoffs. It's still feels weird that the Patriots aren't playing now. BDH and Little Buddha just gave me a heads-up that the wind chill factor is back to -1 at the moment, so I guess I'll have to bundle up when I head outside later. First, let's see what's going on in the news. The guys made coffee, so grab yourself a nice medium DD, because... Read more →

Hi folks, Welcome back! How are you? BDH and Little Buddha were just telling me about today's weather forecast. Apparently this rain is about to turn into some snow, but hopefully it won't be more than an inch or so. It's supposed to end by this afternoon, so maybe we'll start the day with a quiet morning and give the guys the chance to finish reading their new book. After that, we'll see about running some errands. First, let's check out the news. There's a fresh pot of coffee on the counter, so grab yourself a nice medium DD, because... Read more →
