I had to get this off my chest. I doubt anyone reads this blog after all this time, but putting it out there helps me, so I am ( Read more... ) -
Apparently we DID break the world record, several times over!

The old record was something like 40,000 trees. One team on this jaunt broke that by ( Read more... ) -
My busy week ended with a neat experience
So I was heading home Friday when, on my way out of my timber sale, I spotted some guys I knew from the Game Commission. Seems they were out trapping bears and there was one in a trap on the same road I was on.

Coming along...
Well, I got a couple of nice things under the tree, hubby got me a stand for my tablet so I can watch it hands free. It's the ultimate in couch potato luxury! Daughter got me a throw with my delicious Tomoe from Kamisama Hajimemashita on it. Yum!
But the best present I got was the day off the state gave me to work on the greenhouse! I got the ( Read more... )
