I've lived to see another birthday. At the age that I hate having a big deal made about it, I just want to relax. Yesterday, it was nice outside... After a night of high winds, today it's cold and rainy. Still, I merely want to get something I especially like to eat...
Playing around while outside yesterday afternoon, I took a panoramic photo... What I see is work. Stacking wood and cleaning up around the boiler and repainting about 10 miles of decking. Warm up already! Those jobs are definitely going to be left until warm...
I'd almost forgotten about capturing a sunset until I looked out the window to see a glowing sky. It sure was pretty in rural Indiana this evening... I'll be 100 before you know it! A couple days ago I mentioned a classmate retiring. The very next day, another of my...

It's been a minute since we've had a burn barrel but we own one again. Trash just got a whole lot easier and is another excuse to light a fire. Perry and Katie (not Katie Perry) have this thing about who is better at it. I shared a photo of Katie flexing over the fire...
The new barndo driveway was completed yesterday. The old driveway crossed over property owned by the seller's Dad who didn't want to part with it. He wanted to keep the land so badly it took THREE surveys to get it right and that's the sole reason for the delay to...
We're in the final phase of the nightmare called buying a new place to live. It's not ALL been awful. We've had a few good times in the middle of all the hard (and I do mean HARD) work... Even on the bad days, we're enjoying the "feel" we have out here. I wouldn't...
