Sigh.
Okay. I love the cool weather as much as any­one, maybe even more so since I spend my entire day out­side mow­ing, paint­ing, gar­den­ing, weed­ing, mow­ing, trim­ming, mowing…but I didn’t put in this huge gar­den only to have it not grow because IT IS TOO DARN COLD!!

“Never tease a weasel, I couldn’t be more pre­cise, a weasel will not like it and TEASING ISN’T NICE.”
Gosh I miss you lit­tle one. You are every­where. I open the closet and there are your mud boots, extra shoes, extra coat, pail and shovel, bug catcher, side­walk chalk.….
I open the drawer and there are your cups. I […]
