This spring the Kulows will be adding two hives of bees to the craziness that already is.  I have been interested in bees for a while and I have been researching them and finally decided this is the year.  One of my friends found someone selling two hives for a decent price and so hubby and I went and picked…

One of the great benefits of having purchased a fake tree a few years ago is the fact that our tree can go up whenever I decide I want to get everything out.  And my precedent is that Thanksgiving has to be completely put away before Christmas can come out, as well as the house needs to be totally cleaned! …

Backyard Oasis

After much work and sweat I love to sit back and admire our backyard.  No, it is not exactly what we want.  We have a long way to go but in the evening when the sun is setting I feel like maybe we have made some head way in changing the backyard from the neglected jungle that it was three…

So while we were gone that one suspicious chicken turned out to be a rooster.  I guess he was letting our neighbor know that he wanted to get out of the coop at about eight every morning.  So the crowing came and I witnessed his morning teenage crow this morning.  Little mister has found another home, a quick post on…

How Does Your Garden Grow?

By | 0 Comments

Well, mighty fine – thanks for asking!  This year with a little extra work last fall I was able to expand my gardening space.  We have these three awkward beds that house a ton of rocks and well let’s be honest, weeds too.  Last fall I spent time cleaning out just one of the beds and getting all the blasted…
