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, 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. 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 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 →

Hi everyone, Welcome back. BDH, Little Buddha, and I were just revisiting today's weather forecast. We thought rain was likely for most of the day, but now it sounds like it will probably just be overcast with an occasional sprinkle. The question now is how much that changes today's to-do list. We'll probably still scrap the bike ride, and then we can see if there's a chance for some garden time later this afternoon. Other than that, it should be business as usual. Now that we've got that settled, let's check out the headlines. There's a fresh pot of coffee... Read more →

Hi everyone, Welcome back. How are you? It's still a little chilly here right now, but BDH and Little Buddha assured me that the cold won't last much longer. In fact, they said today's high temperature will be 80 degrees. That's more like it, May. Today's to-do list is pretty reasonable. I'd really love to find something new for our crew to read, so here's hoping the trip to check out the new releases at the bookstore pays off this afternoon. Let's see what's going on in the headlines. There's a fresh pot of coffee on the counter, so grab... Read more →

Hi everyone, Welcome back. We hope you're enjoying the unofficial start of summer, even though it's currently only 44 degrees outside. Don't worry, BDH and Little Buddha say today's high temperature will touch 70 degrees this afternoon. That means today's to-do list consists of a bike ride and then some extended garden time. Sounds perfect to me. Let's take a peek at the headlines while the sun gets to work. The guys made coffee, so grab yourself a nice medium DD, because it's time to clear out some Monday Clutter. Donald Trump criticized Vladimir Putin for Russia's most recent attacks... Read more →

Hi everyone, Welcome back, and a happy Monday to you all. Today is May 19, and BDH and Little Buddha just told me the current "real feel" is 43 degrees. Say what now? Last night's howling wind is apparently expected to last all day, and then we have showers coming this afternoon. That's not a fun weather report, guys. I'm also dealing with a bit of a back issue at the moment, so we'll have to revisit the to-do list after we finish here. Speaking of which, let's get to work. There's a fresh pot of coffee on the counter,... Read more →

Hi everyone, Welcome back, and a happy Friday to you all. What's the plan for this weekend? Our crew has been running around all week, so I'm pretty sure we're going to take it easy. I wish I had something new for BDH and Little Buddha to read, but they told me not to worry about it. They're happy to watch the Red Sox and Doctor Who, and relax for a while. Works for me. Let's take a gander at today's headlines. There's a fresh pot of coffee on the counter, so grab yourself a nice medium DD, because it's... Read more →

Hi everyone, Welcome back. How are you? I think I've mostly recovered from dealing with this week's compost delivery. Now I'm just sore from overdoing it in the garden in general. However, that tends to be my usual state of being from now through late September. BDH and Little Buddha are still trying to understand today's weather forecast. They think we're getting some rain later this morning, but they're not sure if that will be it for the entire day. I guess we'll have to play it by ear and adjust the to-do list as needed. Let's check out the... Read more →
