I mowed the yard less than 2 weeks ago, but the weather has made it grow like weeds. It was a scorcher out there so I waited until around 6pm to mow, then immediately jumped in the shower as I saw the creeping menace of poison ivy all along the edge of the lawn along…

Doodads — the yard — taken 5/23/20
With the current heat wave, things have moved along even more since these were taken 3 days ago! My tomatoes are anxious to get outside but I’m waiting until 6/1 to take a chance. There is a chipmunk turf war going on here under the bird feeders. Unless that’s love? There is an awful lot…

The chipmunks have re-dug their hole between the sections of concrete under the bird feeder. The frogs have a heavenly chorus going on out there. The…
Doodads — growing things
As humans agonize over viruses and the ripples from them, life goes on for much of the planet. Last year I planted Swiss Chard in a large pot and forgot about it. Glory be, it is alive and kickin. Soon I’ll be eating homegrown Swiss Chard! I planted 36 brandywine tomato seeds I saved from…
