Yesterday I spent several hours working in the yard. Along with mowing and edging the lawn, our slowly developing flower/shrub beds needed some much needed TLC. Though my lovely wife takes does the brunt of the work in this department, I try to chip in when I can to help keep the weeds [...]

I am happy to report that this year I beat the procrastination curve…er, meaning I didn’t procrastinate. That’s right, I put up my Christmas lights the weekend prior to Thanksgiving this year.
