The other day, Laura and I were talking while we were walking. It was a full out walk and talk. I was telling her how I was looking at pictures of Naples, Florida online and how there were some pretty good looking beaches there. It’s really hard for me to tell Laura about places I […]

Mountain Bluet, Bailey’s Gold, A Red Rose And A Dianthus
I have a few more photos of flowers for you. I have three identified, but am having some difficulty with the fourth. I just found a website that helped me identify the Mountain Bluet. I already knew what the Bailey’s Gold was, along with the Rose. The last one is a little troubling. I have […]
Transplanting Rose Bushes
Last Autumn, I dug up about six rose bushes from the hillside out front and transplanted them to a more reasonable area down in the front yard. I am now mowing the hillside and having those rose bushes with their sharp thorns is really a thorn in my side (haha). I get snagged all the […]
Purple and White Bearded Iris
This is becoming a little tradition for me. Every year, I take some nice photos of the first Bearded Iris to bloom. This purple and white beauty bloomed yesterday. A few more came to life today and I expect the rest will start showing their colors tomorrow. When the entire row is bloomed, I’ll take […]
Bird Nests With Baby Birds Under Porch
It’s that time of year again. Time to take a whole bunch of pictures of the baby birds living under the porch and see which ones come out okay. I was wondering if these bird families were going to come back this year. Well, they are probably new families, but you get the picture. We […]
Some More Spring Flowers And Flower Buds
After we took some pictures of the bird nests this afternoon, I went around and got a few more photos of some flowers that already bloomed and some that are just about ready to bloom. I know I can identify one, think I can identify two and can’t identify the last. I am getting better […]
Some Late Spring Budding Plants
During our early morning lawn stroll yesterday, we noticed a whole bunch of new budding plants. The most exciting of the crew were the Iris and the rose bushes. I have to tell you, once the rose bushes start blooming, things really start to living up around here. My favorite plant of all time still […]
Everbearing Strawberry Plants
On Saturday, while driving around Glastonbury with my parents, we accidentally came across a local farm. We love these local farms because we never know what we are going to find in them. Since we were with my parents, I decided to pull in. I thought they would get a kick out of it. As […]
Wal-Mart Vs. Whole Foods
It has taken me forever to write this post. I don’t know why. I guess I thought it was never really all that important, but the more I think about it, the more I get bothered. Also, since when have I written about only important things? I would say we haven’t been to Whole Foods […]
The Cars That Flopped
Just a few minutes ago, I read an article on Yahoo! about the biggest car flops in the past 25 years. If you haven’t seen it yet, I’m sure you will. Yahoo! (and everyone else these days) seems to have a little issue with rerunning old stories when the run out of current news. Actually, […]
