Tidying Up a Bit
I continue working outside and around the house, performing a variety of manual labor. Yesterday I dethatched, overseeded and fertilized the back lawn which struggles to thrive because of competition for sunshine and ground nutrients from numerous trees. I hope […]
They saw it and it was good…
I didn’t do much work in the yard last year. Mostly mowed the lawn. Didn’t trim bushes or prune trees. But pruning and trimming were activities I contemplated off and on during the winter because trees were gradually transgressing, going […]

Chica in the “Bite” box
Cats, at least my cats, really like boxes. I don’t know if it’s the scent, a certain pliability when they lie in them, or the fact they can chew them up and spit them out. They’re part toy, part comfort […]
