Hi everyone, Welcome back, and congratulations on making it through another week. That's an increasingly bigger accomplishment these days. Let's all just ignore that it's Friday the 13th. BDH and Little Buddha are still working on our weekend schedule. I know it's supposed to be cooler, which will be nice. The big question is, how much rain are we getting this time? It's good for the plants, but I can't really work in the garden if everything is soaked. We'll see. This is going to be our first Father's Day since Dad Clutter died. Can't say we're looking forward to... Read more →

Hi everyone, How are you? Our crew is doing well at the moment. We slept in after attending last night's Boston Red Sox - Tampa Bay Rays game. (More on that in a bit.) BDH and Little Buddha woke up early this morning and quickly decided that wasn't going to work at all, so they went back to bed and turned off the alarm. I can always trust those two to make the right call. The guys said there's no rain in today's forecast, which is a nice change. The high temp is supposed to get back to 80 degrees,... Read more →

Hi everyone, Welcome back. How are you? BDH and Little Buddha were just telling me that the rain is supposed to stop soon, but then it's expected to pick up again for a little while later this morning. It sounds like it should be pretty light, though. The garden loves all of the recent precipitation, so I can't complain. Are you ready to get started? Here we go. The guys made a fresh pot of coffee, so grab yourself a nice medium DD, because it's time to clear out some Tuesday Clutter. Donald Trump continues to try to escalate the... Read more →

Hi everyone, Welcome back, and a happy Monday to you all. How are you? Our crew is doing okay, but we're moving slowly this morning, because the Red Sox and Yankees kept us up too late last night. Thank goodness for the pitch clock, or else that game would have gone at least 4 1/2 hours. BDH and Little Buddha are limiting the to-do list today, which is just as well, because there's currently an air quality warning in effect here. Not sure what that's about. Wildfires in Canada, perhaps? Anyway, let's check out the headlines. The guys made ca... Read more →

Hi everyone, Welcome back, and a happy Friday to you all. What's on tap for the weekend? I'm going to need a nap at some point, because sleeping in the heat is off to a bad start this summer. At least, I think the heat is the issue. BDH and Little Buddha tell me we have more rain coming today, and for most of tomorrow, but hopefully I'll get some garden time in on Sunday. Let's take a peek at the headlines. The guys made coffee, so grab yourself a nice medium (or large if you need it) DD, because... Read more →

Hi everyone, How are you? Our crew is doing well, although we're still trying to figure out what happened yesterday. The morning went smoothly, but I crashed in the afternoon and couldn't get back on track for the rest of the day. Not sure if it had to do with some minor sleep issues, or if I didn't respond well to the first hot day of the year, but I went from functional to zombie in about 60 seconds. That was weird. I slept okay last night, so hopefully that was the problem, because BDH and Little Buddha say it's... Read more →

Hi everyone, How are you? We're doing fine on this end at the moment. I struck out at the bookstore yesterday, which was disappointing. There just wasn't anything that felt like a good fit for BDH and Little Buddha. Of course, the guys are unfazed by my failure, but I'd still like to find them something to read soon. Those two are more focused on the chirping birds, and the fact that today's high temperature is expected to be 86 degrees. Today's to-do list will keep me out of the heat for most of the day, so that should be... Read more →

Hi everyone, Welcome back. How are you? I woke up with a headache, which is not how you want to start the day. BDH and Little Buddha were kind enough to get the Advil right away, so hopefully that will improve soon. The guys told me that today's weather forecast is similar to yesterday - a somewhat chilly morning at first, but things will warm up soon. I'll take it. The to-do list is manageable. It would be terrific if we could find something new to read, so fingers crossed that the bookstore delivers. For now, let's take a peek... Read more →

Hi everyone, Welcome back, and a happy Monday to you all. It's currently 44 degrees outside, but this is June, right? BDH and Little Buddha said not to worry about it. According to our weathermen, it will warm up soon, and then we have more reasonable temperatures on tap for the foreseeable future. If the guys aren't concerned, I'm not stressed...but we might wait just a little bit before starting today's to-do list. Let's check out the headlines in the meantime. There's a fresh pot of coffee on the counter, so grab yourself a nice medium DD, because it's time... Read more →

Hi everyone, Welcome back, and a happy Friday to you all. What's the plan for this weekend, apart from celebrating June's arrival on Sunday? We have the Doctor Who season finale to watch tomorrow. I'm excited to see how the current story ends, but also a bit nervous about whether or not that's a wrap on Ncuti Gatwa's time as the Doctor. Plus, there are indications that it will be another multi-year wait before the show returns. Other than that, just hoping for some garden time after this next round of rain ends. BDH and Little Buddha are eager to... Read more →
