This weekend’s ghostie?
That’s a string…tied to the pull chain on the light…and no, it’s not touching anything.
Even at extreme close range I couldn’t see anything touching it.
Of course, this was a mundane event. It was a spider web…I never could see it but it could be hooked with a finger.
Now, why the spider feels the [...]
Y’all might recall the last post…where I stated in no uncertian terms that “The Shed Must Die”.
Well…it’s mostly dead. I was deep into killing it but had to stop when the alert level was raised to DefCon “KillMaimBuzz”.
Hell hath no fury like a woman…ur…I digress…
Or do I?
Just as a reminder, here is the offending structure:

On the agenda this weekend…the shed must die.
Destroying this:
I will be SO glad to see that thing gone…
Gonna start a deck in it’s place, so we can enter/exit by way of the new french doors…then I can install the window in place of the old door (framing is there, just needs some fine tuning).
I’ll post [...]

Anyway, “Getting near the end of the year” triggered some sort of “I’ve got to get this done” reflex…
That “reflex” conspired with my brain to schedule this last weekend for me to tear out the bad [...]
I promised pictures…
The most productive tree…it’s about a 25 footer. It had TONS of large peaches.
This tree is weighed down with them, but they are all very small (very tasty though!)
The bigger tree again…this limb is strained to the breaking point. There are already hundreds on the ground.
YUM!
About 12 pounds or so…
Twenty minutes work racked [...]
We had a couple of these giant moths hanging out on the side of the house Saturday morning. I assume they left before the heat made them explode (like popcorn).
To give some perspective, the two lines it is between are the siding and are some 6 inches apart.
That’s one big moth!
Since nearly every other [...]
Peaches. Lots of ‘em.
There are three peach trees in our backyard at the Old Vic. It’s a bumper crop. They are are bowed to the ground with peaches.
They were not quite ripe last weekend, but many were falling anyway…making it quite interesting when I was weed-eating under the trees…
Bzzzzzzzzzz splat splut splatter SPLUT SPLATTER SPLAT! [...]
Cash reserves help in times of reduced or no income.
But inflation eats cash reserves, returning nothing. As prices rise the money can buy less. Any interest earned only offsets a small fraction of the loss of buying power.
Have I put you to sleep yet?
History and basic economics suggest our economy is headed for recovery, but [...]
