Hi folks, How are you? Weekend going okay so far? Things are pretty good on this end. Took care of the usual Saturday errands, but the wind and eventual rain kept me from getting some garden time. It felt like an early September afternoon around here. I didn't care for that, but hopefully I'll get a little time in the dirt before I see Dad Clutter for Father's Day. Speaking of which, our crew would like to wish a happy Father's Day to all of the great dads out there. Thank you for everything. Also, if this is a challenging... Read more →

Hi folks, How are you? We're all doing well, even though I didn't have any luck at the bookstore yesterday. I just can't find anything that feels like a good fit for BDH and Little Buddha. I don't know exactly what I'm looking for, but I'll recognize it when I see it. In any case, the guys are unfazed by my failure. The first thing they told me this morning was that they thought they heard some birds chirping around 2:30 a.m. today. As far as these two are concerned, that's enough to guarantee today will be full of fun.... 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, How are you? Yesterday was a bit of a mess on this end. First, there was no luck with this week's new releases at the bookstore. After that, I got into a fight with an anti-vaxxer I know, which was ugly. Can't imagine we'll be talking to each other again anytime soon, but that's probably just as well. That was followed up by a nightmare last night which wrecked my sleep, so we'll see how today goes. BDH and Little Buddha suggest we look at the to-do list, take care of anything which is mandatory for today, and... Read more →

Hi folks, How are you? Sorry we missed you yesterday. The annual compost delivery arrived, and that's always an adventure. I got most of it done on Saturday. There was a little left over on Sunday, so I had to take care of that, then go right through the to-do list, and then collapse in a heap. It's a hell of a workout, but the payoff is always worth it, because the garden looks terrific. I was hoping to play in the dirt this afternoon, but BDH and Little Buddha say it's supposed to rain, so we'll see. Anyway, let's... Read more →

Hi folks, How are you? BDH and Little Buddha were just giving me today's weather forecast. It looks like we're going with cloudy this morning and then some rain this afternoon and evening. That's fine, it will be good for the garden. Speaking of which, I had the chance to play in the dirt for a while yesterday, which was great. Also ordered the compost, so I should start stretching now and make sure we're stocked up on Advil. Of course, I'm off to the bookstore after we're done here. The guys are having a little trouble finishing their current... Read more →

Hi everyone, Welcome back, and a happy Friday to you all. What's on tap for the weekend? We've got the usual list of errands, but the primary goal is to have some extended garden time and get everything ready for the annual compost delivery. I should also probably start stretching now, because spreading the compost wrecks me every year. The broken back is worth it, though. So, yesterday never really got on track, for whatever reason. Some days you’ve got it all together, and some days… not so much. However, I'm feeling better this morning, so BDH and Little Buddha... Read more →

Hi folks, Welcome back! How was the rest of your weekend? No complaints here. Yesterday wasn't that productive, but that's fine. However, today's to-do list is really long. I see snow in the forecast in about an hour, but BDH and Little Buddha say not to worry about it. The guys tell me it will be in the 50's this afternoon, so all I have to do is take a deep breath and just focus on finishing one errand at a time. They're always great about helping me keep things in perspective. Of course, they also make fantastic coffee. Speaking... Read more →

Hi folks, Welcome back, and a happy Friday to you all! It's a rainy Friday at the moment, but BDH and Little Buddha say it should settle down by this afternoon. What's on tap for the weekend? Not sure what we'll be up to on this end. I'm distracted by how much bigger the plants I repotted yesterday already look this morning. Seriously, they all look about 50% larger than they did on Thursday. Just shows we all need room to stretch and grow. Of course today is also April 1st. We had a staff meeting earlier and decided there... 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 →
