Taking time to relax can help counteract the effects of stress and promote a sense of calm and balance. We all know that stress can have detrimental effects on one's physical and mental health. What you might not know is that it also contributes to conditions like...
The eclipse is visible tomorrow here in the Ville. There are those making a very big deal out of it, and others that think it's foolish to care. Our local bank is closing their doors for the entire day because of it. I think the eclipse is causing excess rain and...
I've talked about being a night owl. I've talked about how I don't get to sleep like I should. But you guys... last night, I slept like a normal human. Sort of. I know falling asleep at close to 4:00 AM isn't actually normal, but the fact I logged almost 7 hours total...
When it feels like winter and it's really spring it's called dogwood winter. I think that's what we're going through in southern Indiana right now. It was 80° yesterday. This morning it's 41° and snow -- yes, snow -- is in the forecast for tomorrow. Our current...
I finally got the first mow of the season done yesterday, ASNting the rain by mere hours. The task wouldn't be quite as horrible if I didn't have 200 miles of things to weed-eat around. Today, my arms feel like jello but the yard looks decent considering it was the...
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...
I LOVE gerbera daisies. While native to South Africa, you can grow them right here in southern Indiana but they won't be perennials. They simply don't like winter temps below 45° F. Gerberas grow best in USDA hardiness zones 9 and 10. Sad to say, Crothersville is zone...
