Not nearly enough snow…

Again, I love snow.  I am in full glory when we get 12+ inches.  Over the weekend we got big snow on Saturday and then a couple more inches on Sunday.  Good times.
Here is Rummy, enjoy the fresh snow Saturday morning:

I thought that S should wait to dig us out until after the snow stopped, [...]

Water is important…

We haven’t had much rain here in northeast Ohio during the month of August.  We had maybe two days with some rain, but it always came early in the morning and lasted just an hour or two.  Our grass is almost all brown now.  A lot of our plants are suffering. 
I don’t water the lawn [...]

Good things…

In effort to prove my contention that I am not an angry person, I will post a few of the things that I am happy about this week.
1. Looking over my current DirecTV bill I found that my NFL Sunday Ticket has automatically been renewed, at the early purchase discount rate, no less.  Yeah!  You [...]

Cup runneth over…

Two people live in this house.
One person, me, washed all of the dishes in the house yesterday at 5:00 pm.
Two people were out of the house all last evening.
This picture was taken at 2:03 pm today.
There are about 13 cups and glasses in this picture. 
There is one plastic cup not in the picture but is [...]

Same squirrel, different savagery…

This, I firmly believe, is the same squirrel who was getting it on in my previous post, Sweaty Squirrel Sex.

This morning I noticed him hanging around my garage door.  By the way, I have named him Marvin Gaye.
“There’s nothing wrong with me squirreling you… Squirreling yourself with me can never be wrong, if the squirrel is [...]

Mike’s garden…

From where I sit while I type this, I have a good view out of two windows.  When I put the desk in the office I set it away from a wall, in the corner, allowing me to watch out over the back yard from one window and to look out of my neighbor’s garden [...]

The gifts, part two…

There was a second gift from Mr. & Mrs. S.   I’m sure that S will be absolutely horrified that I am posting pictures of it.  She is embarrassed by it.  I alternate between being embarrassed and being in awe.  It also leaves me with a feeling of claustrophobia and a little bit of self doubt.
This [...]

The gifts, part one…

So, Mr. & Mrs. S came for an overnight visit.  It was sort of spontaneous, as we hadn’t planned on them coming up until the middle of August.  But they called two weeks ago and offered us a charcoal grill.  I had been planning on buying a new charcoal grill this summer as our old [...]

The first summer heat wave…

And it’s not even summer yet.  On Thursday the temperature shot up to 89 degrees.  On Friday is was 92 degrees.  On Saturday it was 90 degrees.  On Sunday it was 93 degrees.  Today we are supposed to get up to 92 or 93 degrees (right now, 9 am, it is already 82 degrees).  It [...]

Happy closet/shelf update…

The second time around went much better.

I do not understand why we have so much bathroom stuff.  Seriously?  Look at all that stuff. 
S’s mom (Mrs. S) seems to give us Avon lotions and body washes every two months and they start to stack up.  She also gives us perfume sets every couple of months even [...]
