Hi folks, Welcome back! Sorry it's a little cold in here at the moment. Not sure what's going on with the heat, but BDH and Little Buddha say today's high temperature will reach the mid 60's, so it shouldn't be an issue for much longer. I have some more plant repotting to do when we're done here, including one which is sitting right next to the computer. I feel like it's looking at me and asking when we're going to take care of business, so let's get to work. The guys made coffee, so grab yourself a nice medium DD,... Read more →

Hi folks, How are you? Week going okay so far? Sorry to say I didn't have any luck at the bookstore yesterday. There just wasn't anything that seemed like a good fit for BDH and Little Buddha, so they're going to stick with their backup book for the time being. The guys tell me the current wind chill factor is 16 degrees. Come on, man. However, they say we should be up to more reasonable temperatures later this afternoon, so at least we're getting back on track. The winter coat is ready to on vacation anytime now. Anyway, let's take... Read more →

Hi folks, How are you? Our crew stayed inside for most of yesterday, but it still ended up being a pretty productive day. I repotted five plants while BDH and Little Buddha supervised. It was a mess, but the plants seem to be settling into their new spaces, so here's to some spring growth for all of them. Of course, it would help if this cold spell ended. That should happen by tomorrow, but today's expected high of 34 degrees with a windchill factor of 24 degrees just seems rude. Of course, the arctic air won't stop me from this... Read more →

Hi folks, Welcome back! How are you? BDH, Little Buddha, and I were just staring at today's forecast. A high temperature of 26 degrees with a wind chill factor of 13 degrees? Excuse me? That's not fun at all. Hold on, there's snow on the ground. Don't care for that either. March seems to have a bit of an attitude as it prepares to give way to April. I hope the cold doesn't harm the plants that have gotten an early start this year. Speaking of which, I have a number of houseplants to repot today (while BDH and Little... Read more →

Hi folks, How are you? Weekend going okay so far? No complaints on this end. I ran the usual errands yesterday, and now BDH, Little Buddha, and I are trying to figure out today's to-do list. (The guys are a little distracted by the chirping birds this morning.) As you may have noticed, we've decided to allow a bit of advertising here in order to increase our coffee budget. We're still working out the kinks, so please email us at [email protected] if you have any questions or concerns. Now, let's get to work. There's a fresh pot of coffee on... Read more →

Hi folks, Welcome back, and a happy Friday to you all! What's on the schedule for the weekend? Don't think we have anything major planned right now, apart from a handful of errands. Maybe we'll see if any new movies have come out on HBO Max or Netflix. It's raining at the moment, but BDH and Little Buddha say it's supposed to be pretty nice this afternoon. I'll get some fresh air later, particularly now that my back is feeling better. First, let's take a peek at the headlines. The guys made coffee, so grab yourself a nice medium DD,... Read more →

Hi folks, How are you? It's looking pretty dreary outside at the moment. BDH and Little Buddha say it's supposed to rain all day, but hopefully it will at least lighten up a bit in a couple of hours. Today's biggest errand is to try to loosen up my back a little. The guys will keep an eye on me while I stretch this morning, and then we'll see about the rest of the day. First things first, let's check out the headlines. There's a fresh pot of coffee on the counter, so grab yourself a nice medium DD, because... Read more →

Hi folks, How is your week going so far? I struck out again at the bookstore yesterday. There was one new release that I first thought might be a fun read for BDH and Little Buddha. However, after skimming a few pages, I decided the guys would probably end up disappointed with it, so that was a pass. Looks like we'll just have to stay busy watching some Red Sox spring training games for now, which is fine. Hopefully we'll get to check out new addition Trevor Story soon. Anyway, that's the story on this end. Ready to go through... Read more →

Hi everyone, How are you? I hope your week got off to a smoother start than ours did yesterday. Don't know what happened, but I was off all day. Didn't really finish anything on the to-do list, and everything felt challenging. BDH and Little Buddha said sometimes the day just won't go your way, so the important thing is to move on and start over the next morning, so...here we are! Of course I'm off to check out new releases at the bookstore when we're done here. Fingers crossed this is the week I find something new for our crew... Read more →
