I’m trying out my green thumb finally – now I will see how the deer enjoy it. I cleaned up the area around our front walk Sunday and 5 construction trash bags later I was ready to plant a portion of it. Planting here is so much different than CA – in CA there were [...]
As I was walking down the front walk two full grown deer and two babies wondered into the front yard. The two full grown deer began to approach me on the sidewalk as I walked towards them (but really towards the garage). They just kept coming, so I did what every sensible person would do [...]
Week 3 is coming up, and I cannot wait. I am really enjoying my job, and the people I work with appreciate having me there. We have been down hard with a nasty cold. It has taken all life out of me for about 2 weeks now – I don’t remember feeling so exhausted after [...]

Repair service available by Boulder cat for 100 pats/hour. She will diagnose any problem with her patented rub method demonstrated below.

The mystery of why a snowplow was parked outside our house was explained. It broke down and was waiting for a tow (so of course I had to take some photos). It was quite the ordeal to remove the plow from the front of the truck and then figure out how to transport it down [...]
I am hooked on my knifty knitter. Part of the reason why I need a job is to support my yarn habit so I can continue to make things, and also I want to buy the long purple knifty knitter and a small wooden knifty knitter like hoop that makes baby booties. I quickly mastered [...]
