10 Minutes Late

“Ten minutes late” turned out to be the theme for the day – and I didn’t even have to go to work! It started with the gym. Class started at 9:30. I didn’t really want to go. But I went. I was running a few minutes late, but sometimes class starts a few minutes late. …

Happy Easter

In the spirit of the pending Easter Eggs hunts slated for Sunday morning, I’ve uploaded lots of “new” pictures. Instead of a handy dandy link, I’m going to let you roam through the gallery searching for them. Happy Hunting!

Trees

They watched us. They stood nearby planning, plotting, pining. They warned us last April. As a tornado passed through, they sacrificed one of their own to send a chilling message to us through the Dollhouse. Landing just inches away and pushing her from her foundation, they taunted, “Next time it could be you, or even …

Rain Rain

…Please don’t go away. We’ve finally had the first serious rain here at Camp Willow Creek in the last two weeks or so. I can’t even remember. Maybe longer. It’s good because I’m still wrapping my brain around the concept that grass is a plant (many in fact) and as such it requires water. Sometimes …

A Few Other Updates

I’ve been falling behind on the updates, so I recently put up four albums. One is in the post below (Easter Sunday). The others are here. * WPG2 CANNOT LOCATE GALLERY2 ITEM ID 1449 * The day after those mini tornados rolled through here, JDB and I were out buying chainsaws and things at Sears …

Silver Lining

The storm clouds definitely had a silver lining. * WPG2 CANNOT LOCATE GALLERY2 ITEM ID 1435 * Dead trees fell down and only hurt a few other dead trees. We got to buy a chainsaw. This helped us produce tons of firewood. Most of the dead trees were once pine and therefore, not really fit …

Still Standing

* WPG2 CANNOT LOCATE GALLERY2 ITEM ID 1382 * Ok. I’ll get right to it: This one scared me. I woke up at 4am to howling winds and flashing strobe lights. I feared going to the window and look. I contemplated going to the downstairs bathroom to hide. I stayed in bed under the covers …

MULCH

* WPG2 CANNOT LOCATE GALLERY2 ITEM ID 774 * That pretty much sums it up.  Pine bark, not straw, if you were wondering. I went to Target the other night in search of a solar-powered low-voltage outdoor lighting set.  But not just any solar-powered low-voltage outdoor lighting set, an ON SALE solar-powered low-voltage lighting set.  …

Yawn

* WPG2 CANNOT LOCATE GALLERY2 ITEM ID 835 * Ok.  Maybe this is a little more work than i realized.  I am dead tired, but  Project mailbox is pretty much in the books at this point.  On Saturday, J helped me — after riding 6+ miles on mountain bike dirt trails — dig out the …

Goodbye Holly & Molly

* WPG2 CANNOT LOCATE GALLERY2 ITEM ID 919 * * WPG2 CANNOT LOCATE GALLERY2 ITEM ID 844 * …Before and After. I came home from work last night and Molly was missing. Well most of Molly was missing.  J had the day off and went ahead and got a head start on her.  I was …
