I went out for a walk the day after I got back, and found that the creek really didn't get very high. It barely got into the yard, despite a full rain gauge showing 9 inches total ( Read more... )

Got back last night from my trip to the east coast and back. Asheville was gorgeous, and I really could envision myself living there ( Read more... )

Yesterday I went down to get some groceries, do the recycling and visit my big tree. The tree is doing wonderfully well, and they said that they might be able to come and plant it soon. I told them to make sure they called before they came, as my gate is usually locked ( Read more... )

Been having some spine problems the last week or so, every time I straightened my head up I would get a sharp pain in my forehead. Had some major crunching this week by the Chiro, and it seems to be cleared up now, but it has meant more trips to town that I like ( Read more... )

Contrary to the previous weather report, it warmed up into the low 70's yesterday. After clearing off the creek trail, Andre and I headed up the the hill to the high pasture ( Read more... )

It recently came to my attention that the company that makes my chainsaw has come up with a new much longer duration battery. My old endurance batteries are 2.4 ah this one is 4 ah.

It finally rained a decent amount today. It cleaned some of the scum out of the creek and cooled things off a bit. Possibility of more tomorrow, I hope we get as much or more, because we are WAY behind this year ( Read more... )

What with the 200 acres, the ER visit, and then a trip on Sunday up to reorganize my fleamarket booth, I really had run around burnout. Monday and today have been pretty slothful as a result. Add in the heat, and all my motivation to do much of anything has gone right out the window ( Read more... )

My elbow was still wanting to tear open and bleed this morning so reluctantly I headed down to the VA to get it looked at. They told me that I should have come in earlier, because they would have liked to stitch it, but too much time had passed. I explained that I was exhausted last night and did not want to risk the long drive. Actually they ( Read more... )
