A grapevine it's not

Whew! Got a kick-ass two inches of rain yesterday; all within 45 minutes or so. Went out this AM and all the plants are happy and green green green, especially since we got lightning. The cicadas are ecstatic. It’s loud out there!! Now it’s time to clean up the overflow areas or leaves and soil…small [...]

I came out this morning to make some coffee, begin getting moving for the day, when I look out the door’s window and see the pot with the Carolina Wren’s nest topped over. Ah, horror!!!!! There’s a nest in there!! So I put some chooz on and headed out to recover what might be left. [...]

What a perfectly appropriate beginning for Spring. It’s pouring rain, slightly cool and we’re chilling after a week of work. Granted, today was to be a volleyball, beach day with friends but, alas, all things must change. Currently I’m working on the new work site, which will hopefully work with Webber as backer. A little [...]

Lovely coming home to a mostly thawed freezer. Thankfully Jeff had room and so did Justin so they own our current food supply. Now we’re off to Lowes—since I have a card and they’re offering 6 months no interest—for a new one. Perhaps we can recharge the freon?? 16:51 We’re back, after an hour of [...]

Wow did we have a great time! Heavenly, though warmer than Orlando, was a great mountain. Once the icy, groomed conditions softened, the runs were long and sweeping, giving me plenty of time to get speed and nearly scare myself. My new board is just fantastic, with a shape that kept me upright even when [...]

What is up with hits cold!!? Since the 2nd it hasn’t gone over 50° in daylight, with lows of 27° in the evening. Curtrent;ly it’s 36° with a windchill of 30°…and it’s 10:40; and we call this FL? WTF!! Of course we had to run out and put everything we could in the greenhouse, whose [...]

I like the inflow of cash, really I do. But working non-stop is very hard on da bonez; especially when it’s minimum 10-hour days. The largest job of the year (1000 ppl) is coming up the 17th, which I anticipate will be a 24 day. The tree’s up and gorgeous! Laura hooked us up with [...]

20:09 Wow!! That was by far the nastiest storm we’ve had this season. Thankfully we had the presence of mind to turn off the a/c and unplug everything we wanted to be able to use tomorrow. The power blinked or went off 7 times—in the middle of dinner I might add—but fortunately never stayed off. [...]

Since May 17th, Eustis has received 13.37″ of rain. The only place that got more was Daytona Beach with 14.91″, but they’re on the coast so it’s to be expected. To be honest, I thought we’d gotten more, the way the lake and pond came up, the way everything is overflowing. Yes we needed rain [...]

I was thinking of Sabre this AM when I woke up. I miss him. Bev’s dad passed yesterday. Bad, yes. But I think it might’ve been a little good too. From what I understand he was in pain; had been for a while. Sent her love this morning. Charleston was kewl. Everyone there is nice [...]
