I saw a post on Facebook about the dangers of coyotes this time of year and it got me thinking -- and reviewing my security camera footage. I know there are coyotes around here in the outskirts of the Ville because I sometimes hear them. The post talked about how...
Nature
who wants to roast a marshmallow for a s’more?
So far, Mother Nature isn't impressing me much... The puppies braved the snowfall early this morning to get to the yard around 7:00 AM. Trudging through the white stuff on the way out, it seemed to be primarily rain 5 minutes later when they wanted back inside. We're...

I ordered the dye for the floors in the office/family room yesterday. In addition, I ordered the stuff to clean the floors, paint trays, and a small pump hand sprayer to apply dye after the roll-on to give a more textured look. In addition, I've already purchased the...
first frost of 2023 – and the hummers are gone
