The Plants Are Growing and The Bugs Are Back In Town

I seem to remember a conversation with a neighbor last year about all these wonderful gnats that swarm around people’s heads this time of year. The neighbor told me that it gets bad when they till the fields down the road. All I know is that the fields ain’t tilled and there are a whole […]

Trumpet, Long Cup and Double Daffodils – Various Colors

Well this is refreshing. I actually have some names for the flowers that I am going to post today. It wasn’t very difficult. All I had to do is search for “different types of daffodils.” The second site I looked at pretty much told me everything I needed to know. You know, I never really […]

The Mystery Flower – Primrose?

There are some many types and colors of Primrose, it’s hard to know what actually is one and what’s not. During my walk this morning, I noticed the first color on the entire property. It was a small flower, no more than a few inches high. I believe there were some pink and purple blooms. […]

What’s The Average Temperature For My Town?

If you have gone outside over the past couple of days, you may have noticed that it’s fairly cold out there. It doesn’t really feel much colder than it normally does for this time of year, but the time-to-being-frozen is a heck of a lot shorter. Being this cold really isn’t my cup of tea. […]

A Very Bright Moon

Did anyone else see the moon last night? I wanted to grab a photo, but gave up because I knew it would never work. Lately, we have been walking after dark. While this is not the safest thing to do, it’s nice because it’s peaceful. 20 degrees during the day is the same 20 degrees […]

A Winter Walk In The Woods

I can officially call it winter now that it’s the 22nd. It feels like just a few weeks ago that I had sweat dripping off my face from working outside. Now, sweat is just a distant memory. When I woke up this morning, I noticed a blue sky peeking through the little half circle window […]

Our First Real Snowfall

They said it was coming. At noon, I didn’t quite believe them, but sitting here right now with wet pants on, I’ll take their word for it. I just got in from using the new snowblower. What a trip. We have about three inches of snow right now and I swear it took me about […]

Our Christmas Tree – 2008

I just got off the phone with Rob. When I told him that we were setting up our Christmas tree, he sounded so excited. For some reason or another, Rob is adamant that we enjoy the season. You should have heard him huffing and puffing the other night after I told him we weren’t going […]

Picking Out Our Christmas Tree

The time has come again. Time to get into the car and drive over to that place we saw on the side of the road that sells Christmas trees. Time to pick out and beauty and strap that beauty to the top of the car. I really wanted to go cut down our own Christmas […]
