Concerned about privacy, I purchased mycountyroad.com and migrated the posts from that domain (my name dot com) to here. Because I'm not selling anything or marketing myself for job or sales opportunities, there's no reason for anyone to search for me by my name. Of...

flaunt your inner nerd

Nothing screams nerd like wearing a bush hat paired with a Star Wars t-shirt. I had to laugh. And take a photo, of course. 😉 No doubt about it... Perry was out there gettin' it done. He cares not one little bit if anyone -- including me -- thinks he can be a bit...

i just thought of something… maybe you noticed already

Last night, I fell into the Brian Laundrie/Gabby Petito rabbit hole. You remember them, right? In 2021, two people went on a van trip and only one returned -- Brian in Gabby's van. The hunt was on first for Gabby (found murdered), and then for Brian (found dead by...

2 reasons why stray cats are a problem

I have a friend who lives in Hanover and she's struggling with a stray cat. She has immaculate flowerbeds and said cat does his/her business there regularly. Her hostas are dying or dead because of it. I have a similar thing going on out here. I have two regular...

what happens every few days in spring…

We mowed the grass at the barndo just 3 days ago. Since that time, it's rained every day. Look at the yard -- it needs to be mowed. How are we supposed to keep up? Spring is rough on those of us with big ole' yards. If you wait too long, you need a hay baler. But you...

take time to smell the roses — and pet your dog

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’ve earned a bajillion dollars already

Landscaping, above many other home-makeover tasks, remains incredibly labor-intensive. The average homeowner pays $50 to $100 per hour for their services. I'm beginning to think that's not so much compared to how I feel right now. My crew takes too many...
