I’m interesting too

I had an appointment for me today, to find out which allergens are bothering me and what we should do about them.
Apparently there are none, instead I get to be interesting in much the same way as The Scientist is interesting.
That’s the short, pleasant version. The long version involves much ranting about how can [...]

March 29th — Garden update

I’m on the hunt for a name for my garden and would love suggestions. Heather’s garden just doesn’t have the ring to it I’d like.

Weekend garden update

Yes, I’m giving myself some more latitude by opening it up to weekend updates.
Walked around out back today, and made plans to take down the trees that are blocking the light from where I want to put some veggies as well as getting a trailer to get rid of most of the crap [...]
