Hot days equals hot dogs. Now that we have a pool, we are spending a lot more time in the yard, and although we have lots of shade and multiple water bowls for Basil, we want her to have an opportunity to indulge in something cool to take the edge off the heat. I have…

Weed Killer Cover Up – The sequel
Using lumber tarp paper over commercial chemical weed killers to reduce weeded areas while landscaping.
Dig, Dog, Dug
Our big project for this spring is putting in a pool. As mentioned before, we can’t handle the hotter and hotter summers, so we are going to combat it the way everyone else seems to…with a pool! It just a simple above-ground pool that we can setup in the yard. However, if you have been…
Merry Christmas!
Merry Christmas or Happy Holidays, whichever way you celebrate, we hope that you have had a good time spent with family and friends. I have been overly neglectful of the blog in the last few months. It always seems that as soon as the garden and yard projects wind down, the shop hobbies pick right…
Protecting The Berries Again
We love birds. Just about all birds. I would say the only bird I don’t appreciate are the doves. They are supposed to be these symbols of love and beauty, but I think their false hoot (so-called coo) and slug-sized poops are bothersome. Unfortunately we seem to have a few that have been hanging around…
Taking Gardening To The Next Level
With the rock wall being complete, we now have all new levels of gardens to utilize this summer. The only issue is that I got ahead of myself again and all the stuff that needs to be planted now is planned for the new beds. That’s ok though. After years of working on rock walls,…

It has been a very busy beginning of the year with extra-curricular work, as well as regular work, and having a puppy. I actually backed away from some of the extra-curricular projects because I was…
Mapping Progress
Happy New Year! I had intended to get this post out before the end of 2022, however I just ran out of time. I would like to say it was because I was busy, but really, I just had a very lazy few days to end the year. It has been a very busy few…
Shifting Gears
Well, I have really been slacking on writing, but have been oh-so-busy with so many other things. As you know, we now have a puppy again, which definitely causes a major delay in getting anything done. The first few weeks was just focussing on her and getting her settled into a routine at the house….
Berkley
It has been a whirl-wind of a month around our house, resulting in not a lot getting done, including entries in the blog! A month ago, we had to say goodbye to our beautiful Ellie, which kept us from accomplishing much in that first week other than going to work and then coming home and…
