Hi everyone, Welcome back! Come on in, have a seat. How are you? I got to sleep at a decent hour since there was no Stanley Cup Final game last night, and that was helpful. Of course, it was a little challenging to get up this morning with the rain falling outside. Of course, the plants are loving it, and if it drops the pollen count a bit, that's a bonus. BDH and Little Buddha say it's supposed to clear up around noon. That works. In the meantime, let's check out today's headlines. The guys made coffee, so grab yourself... Read more →

Hi everyone, Welcome back! How are you? I was up past my bedtime once again, thanks to the Stanley Cup Finals. It was worth it, mind you, but I'll be moving slowly today. The only real issue is that I have a meeting later this morning, so I'm going to need some coffee ahead of time to make sure I'm not just blankly staring at the other people in the room. As it turns out, BDH and Little Buddha just made a fresh pot, so grab yourself a nice medium DD, and let's clear out some Monday Clutter. We were... Read more →

Hi everyone, Welcome back, and a happy Friday to you all! What are you up to this weekend? Gardening time is the priority on the to-do list as usual around here. BDH and Little Buddha are once again on the hunt for another book to read, so let us know if you have any suggestions. Speaking of those two, the guys have been listening to the birds all morning, but they took a break from that to make some coffee There's a fresh pot on the counter, so grab yourself a nice medium DD, because it's time to clear out...

Hi everyone, Welcome back! How are you? The rain showed up as promised yesterday, so the garden got a solid soaking, which is great. BDH and Little Buddha say we've got sunshine in the forecast for today, which is also nice, because I need to run a few errands. By the way, how did it become June already? We'll save that discussion for another time. The guys just put a fresh pot of coffee on the counter, so grab yourself a nice medium DD, and let's clear out some Monday Clutter. Donald Trump is in the United Kingdom and he's... Read more →

Hi everyone, Welcome back! Come on in, have a seat. How are you? It's looking a little dreary here this morning, but BDH and Little Buddha tell me I should still have enough time for a bike ride before the rain starts. We'll see if that rain actually shows up, or if it's just cloudy all day. I'd be good with the rain (after the ride), because I'm sure the garden wouldn't mind a solid soaking, but we'll see. First, let's check out today's headlines. The guys say the coffee is ready, so grab yourself a nice medium DD, because... Read more →

Hi everyone, Welcome back, and a happy Friday to you all! What's on the schedule for this weekend? I've got a few errands to take care of, but I'm mostly looking forward to some garden time and maybe a bike ride. Oh, and Good Omens is finally out on Amazon Prime Video, so we'll have to get started on that. BDH and Little Buddha can't wait to see David Tennant and Michael Sheen as a devil and angel who are out to stop the apocalypse. They're particularly excited that there's a dog in the story. However, let's check out today's... Read more →

Hi everyone, Welcome back! Come on in, have a seat. Sorry we're running late today. I gave in to a bit of anxiety about getting an oil change and needed to take care of it first thing this morning. On the flip side, it's good to shake up the schedule every now and again. It's May 21, so it's probably safe to turn off the heat by this point, right? The sun is peeking through the clouds, but this wind is not being kind to my tulips. They go through so much work to get here and then a stiff... Read more →

Hi everyone, Welcome back! Come on in, have a seat. How's your weekend going so far? It's been good on this end. I went for a bike ride yesterday, and that was fun, even though I was going into a headwind the entire time. After that, it was an afternoon of garden time, as I continue to clean up from last week's compost application. The tulips are gorgeous, and hopefully they'll have some friends join them soon. It sounds like we might have some rain today, but at least the temperatures are finally moving in the right direction. We'll take... Read more →

Hi everyone, Welcome back! Come on in, have a seat. How are you? The birds are chirping, the sun is shining (at the moment), and the high temperatures are supposed to be in the 60's, so here's hoping we're finally on the path to nicer days. That's not too much to ask, right? BDH and Little Buddha were up early to listen to the birds, but they rushed to make the coffee as soon as they heard you were coming. There's a fresh pot on the table, so grab yourself a nice medium DD, because it's time to clear out... Read more →

Hi everyone, Welcome back! Come on in, have a seat. How are you? The compost has been distributed around the garden, and I'm only somewhat crippled today, so that's a win. Every year I think, "This pile doesn't look so big," and then five hours later, I look up, and it doesn't seem like it's gotten any smaller. However, after eight hours, it's finally been dispersed, and the garden looks terrific. I wreck my back every year doing this, and the results are always worth it. The driveway is a bit of a mess though. I'll take care of that... Read more →
