Tropical Storm Fay is a Welcome Arrival in Auburn
Taken during heavy gusts and rain out the back door of our house. Tropical Storm Fay made its way across our corner of Alabama yesterday and last night, bringing some great rain to a drought area. Tornado warning after warning came and went, but the most we got here is a good solid day of…

Planting Red Crape Myrtles and a Weeping Willow
Wow, what a busy weekend (including Friday here). We stared off the weekend Friday night with the most wonderful thunderstorm. Since we hadn’t seen any rain here in what feels likes years it was a pleasant site. I took several photos of the lightning, one is in my post, Lightening in the Sky Tonight, and…

Scales and Guitars Oh My, Learning the Guitar is Fun?
Today was one busy day. It started off with a normal routine of email and blogging and quickly moved into actual work. We had a schedule to keep today so all the orders from all the various places had to be processed and packaged so we could leave on time today. I really liked the…

Sunday is Our Day of Rest with a Husqvarna Chainsaw of Course
Today was going to be one of those relaxing days of doing nothing and enjoying this unbelievably beautiful weather. Well, the weather was gorgeous today. I was looking forward to our worship time today since we have been out of town the last few Sunday’s, and it was incredible. A series on missions, which I…

Saturday is Time to Cut Grass on a John Deere Tractor

From Sunset on the Coast to Rainbows at Home
This week’s trip to the coast was very short, but oh so sweet. The weather was not cooperative enough to sit on the beach and knit, but the views the approaching storm gave us were absolutely wonderful. The image below was taken by Scott while he was walking on the beach, with his phone. Camera…

Home Invasion or Plague of Ladybugs Has Arrived
I love ladybugs (or as Scott refers to them, manbugs). However, this is ridiculous! There are millions of them on every window, inside and out. This was the best shot I could get, but trust me, they are everywhere. On the bright side, we had NO mosquitoes this year so this is a wonderful alternative!…

Filling the Pond During a Drought Takes a Well
This weekend Scott, Christopher, and Larry rented a trencher and did lots of work at the farm. One of the projects they tackled was constructing a fountain and pulling it into the middle of the pond so that it could be gradually filled by our new well. Here is the pond prior to filling. They…
