The weekend was sunny and bright. In preparation for a week of rainy days ahead, yard work was on our agenda... again. It seems like mowing grass is about all we get done in the spring. Yesterday, mowing was more difficult than usual. I mow most of the yard on the...
Many people appreciate the ASNuty and fragrance of flowers without having a desire to plant or care for them themselves. ME! I'm "many people." Enjoying flowers doesn't necessarily mean you have to enjoy the act of gardening. I HATE gardening. Despise it with a...
When I was a kid, I remember my Nanny had a huge snowball bush at the corner of her house. I loved the big white balls of flowers -- and so did every bee in Crothersville, Indiana. 🐝 I'd love to plant one here at the barndo, but haven't so far. The other plant that...
Not much happened insofar as the landscaping projects yesterday. (See the latest here on whatifitdid.com.) There was simply too much other stuff going on. Perry was still smoking pork butt at 2:00 AM Sunday morning. Colette got here around 6:30 AM and I took her to...

I posted on whatifitdid.com about my brother's move back to Indiana and this is a morning update of their travels... I wasn't aware that Flagstaff, AZ averages 116 inches of snow in the winter months. When I received a text message from Scott around 7:00 AM ET, I...
Mr. Pesky mowed his grass yesterday. That of course, made me feel inferior because I didn't do the same. Typically, the neighbors out here all mow once one person does. It's funny to watch. There's one dude that will mow 3 times a week if we stagger the days we do...
I have a friend, Julie, that's a pretty good cook. She has 4 kids and I don't know how many grandkids. That means she's used to cooking for larger groups of people than I am. She let me know that the best way to cook bacon is in the oven and NOT in a skillet. But I...
