Hi folks, Welcome back. How are you? We're all doing fine at the moment, thank you. Here's hoping that this is the week I finally find a new book for BDH and Little Buddha! Another quick reminder that we will be out of the office tomorrow, and probably on Thursday as well. Don't worry, nothing is wrong. I just need to take care of something. In the meantime, our crew encourages you all to take some time to listen to the birds in the morning, even if we're not here. Enjoying that cheerful chirping is a great way to start... Read more →

Hi folks, Welcome back, and a happy Monday to you all. I hope you're enjoying the long weekend. I had a great day yesterday that included a bike ride, mowing the lawn, and getting in some quality garden time. BDH and Little Buddha are looking out the window while they listen to the birds chirp this morning. The guys tell me the birds are saying today will be warm, so I should dress accordingly. Who knew birds gave fashion advice? Anyway, let's get down to business. There's a fresh pot of coffee on the counter, so grab yourself a nice... Read more →

Hi folks, How are you? Enjoying your long weekend so far? No complaints on this end. The sun is shining, and we're all in good spirits. I took care of the usual errands yesterday. Today should be pretty quiet, apart from watering the plants and mowing the lawn later this afternoon. Of course there will also be some garden time. Oh, and BDH and Little Buddha said I'm always welcome to listen to the birds with them at some point. Works for me. We've got a big week coming up, so a little downtime sounds just fine. Now, who is... Read more →

Hi folks, Welcome back, and a happy Friday to you all. What's on tap for the holiday weekend? I'm hoping to get in some garden time, although tomorrow's forecast calls for thunderstorms. Of course, we'll have to wait and see if that really happens. I'm mostly just hoping for a few quiet days, because the beginning of June may be a little crazy around here. We'll talk about that more at the start of next week. For now, let's get to work. BDH and Little Buddha say the coffee is ready, so grab yourself a nice medium DD, because it's... Read more →

Hi folks, How are you? We're all doing fine at the moment. BDH and Little Buddha are back at the window watching and listening to the birds again. The chirping serves as our alarm clock these days. I think it now begins somewhere around 4:30 in the morning. That used to bother me, but the guys convinced me to embrace it. They insist the birds are just saying good morning, and that they're happy to see us. Really, how can you object to that? These two are very wise. Anyway, I think today will be pretty quiet around here, but... Read more →

Hi folks, Welcome back. How are things on your end? No luck at the bookstore yesterday, which was a little disappointing. However, BDH and Little Buddha are already looking out the window and listening to the birds, so they seem fine. I might join them for a bit when we're done here, and see if that helps my headache. Fortunately, today's errands should be pretty low-key. 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 it's time to clear out some Wednesday Clutter. It's devastating to... Read more →

Hi folks, How are you? Week off to a good start so far? Yesterday was pretty productive, despite the lack of sleep. I ended up taking a quick power nap in the afternoon, which helped. Also enjoyed some quality garden time, which is always a nice way to end the day. Slept a bit better last night, but another nap is still a possibility. Today's big errand is of course the weekly trip to check out the new releases at the local bookstore. I'd love to find something for BDH and Little Buddha to read, because it seems like it's...

Hi everyone, Welcome back! How was the rest of your weekend? As expected, we spent most of yesterday just trying to stay cool. It wasn't the most productive day, but that's fine. There was a nice little bit of rain in the evening, so the garden is happy. The problem now is that I feel like I slept for about 10 minutes for whatever reason last night, so the new week is off to a rough start. BDH and Little Buddha said they'd help me prioritize today's errands, and that we could always schedule a nap later if needed. (Spoiler:... Read more →

Hi folks, How are you? Weekend going okay so far? I took care of a few errands yesterday and then had some quality garden time, once things cooled off to about 90 degrees and 90% humidity. There may have been some mild heat exhaustion involved by the end of the day, but it was worth it. BDH and Little Buddha say today's weather is supposed to be just as challenging, only it includes thunderstorms this afternoon. Pretty sure we'll just make this a quiet day inside and focus on staying cool. Maybe there will be a good movie to watch... Read more →

Hi everyone, Welcome back, and a happy Friday to you all. Did this week go by quickly, or was it just us? Is any case, what's on tap for the weekend? The #1 goal on this end is to simply stay cool, since the forecast calls for temps in the mid-upper 90's with high humidity. Yikes. I might have to save garden time for the end of the day when it cools off to 9o degrees. Other than that, it should be pretty quiet around here. Now, let's check out today's headlines. BDH and Little Buddha say the coffee is... Read more →
