Two Down, Two to Go
Scratch that, make it Three Down, One to Go. Scott has been busy today, and I started this post way earlier in the day. Since then, he has completed the 2nd outdoor cement pit-filling project. That leaves the one in … Continue reading
It Feels Like Perma-Pause
Paws would probably be more accurate, since we have 16 of them. 4 dogs, 16 paws, yup. That’s correct. So many paws (so much dog hair). Since we’re on the dog topic, I’ll give you a quick update on the … Continue reading
The Dog Days of Summer. Not.
Grumble, grumble, grumble. As I finally sit down to write a post, mainly spurred by two new house events (Scott put the silt fencing up yesterday and he’s currently in the basement cutting concrete, which is a little worrisome), it is 71 … Continue reading

The BLT
That’s right, this post is about a sandwich, driven solely by the fact that I’m responsible for eating all the tomatoes we grow. I could share (I have, a few) but the yield has been pretty small, so I’m feeling … Continue reading
