It could be any day or none but this day is the one when my beloved pups will go to camp while I travel to places they can not go. It is always tough to see them go even though I know they will be well cared for and have fun with the staff and the other camp dogs. I wonder if this is how parents

I am waiting on plants, shrubs and some trees I ordered that probably won't arrive until I am gone on vacation. I enjoy getting new stuff in the ground as soon as I can. Now I have to rely upon a neighbor to unpack and water my new stuff untill I get home. It isn't the best but I am hopeful. Oh w

The worst thing about travel is getting there and then getting home. I am getting ready to travel, and like most things preparation really matters. If you like to travel as I do you better be ready: that means emergency numbers, copies of all documents, insuring all medications are packed and rea

Since buying my fixer home here in the Berkshires, there have been ongoing and unexpected big time expenses each year. I had planned well, interviewed numerous contractors and checked references and insurance policies. Nonetheless, I went through three different contractors before the initial jo

I can take the cold: a good thing too because there was plenty of it this winter where I now live in the Berkshires in western Massachusetts. I can take the snow: there was a lot of that too. I don't mind the rain or the wind, and the heat, while hard, is tolerable. But what I can not handle is t

I am not sure why the font changed but it isn't any better in my view and it is smaller. I used to enlarge my letter size to 14 points but now this is 18 so it is possible to read without straining. Some changes make no difference at all and others seem to be done for reasons I can not imagine. I

On Sunday in the Berkshires it was cold windy and there were even a few snowflakes. Right now it is almost 90 out. I went out early to plant another tree I ordered that came late last night. I dug the hole, did the soaking thing and put the magic stuff in. It was unbearably hot and so I tied the

Like most things that matter, the hardest part of planting is preparation. Yesterday, I planted four perennials and a small tree. Digging the holes, putting the right amount of English Magic that enhances growth, soaking the plants and then separating the roots before filling in the dirt is a lot
