A Proper Introduction
Introducing the newest member of our fam - Olivia. Olivia, a Lab/Border Collie mix, came to us in August as a rescue; she was 8 months old then.

She's … Continue reading A Proper Introduction

The Odds…Well, They Just Don’t Look Good
Seems as though the odds are stacked against us this gardening season and it has been frustrating to say the very least. 1.

In My Travels
For the past several months I've been working out-of-town. It's roughly a 45 min drive, one way, depending on the weather. I get SOOO bored driving the same route over and over and over again. Generally, if I take one route to my destination I take a different one home...I've always just been like that...which drives Dan nuts! Lucky … Continue reading In My Travels
Another One Bites The Dust
Yep... that right there is one dead fern. Actually, sigh, 5 dead ferns in total. What the heck?! If my life depended on growing ferns I wouldn't last long. I really don't understand. I did research!
