haha, so much for plans... we didn't have any envelopes and on top of that the state recommends that even if you don't owe any thing that if you do file a federal return you should also file a state return to "eliminate unnecessary correspondence from Treasury".

raining this morning and 61F going up to about 66F later, then dropping back down to cooler overnight. not too bad this week until Wed night when they have forecast for rain and snow mixed until Friday. no plans on getting out the shovels just yet but they're ready anyways until the end of...

i vote for goat on the porch... i used to have that happen at the apartment i was renting in TN up in the hills, the guy had a field with a pony and some goats there to keep each other company but the goats would often get out and come visit me (because i gave them carrots and they were no...

when i was living up north and renting the attic the landlord slept on the 2nd floor. one night someone came in and slept on the couch and left in the morning. i never heard a thing but the landlord said he heard them get up and leave. probably someone who was coming home from the bar who...

i haven't had to do much for taxes for a long time (if you don't earn taxable income you don't have to file if nobody is withholding taxes) but this year i do have to file even if i do not owe any taxes again. just because i withdrew some money from my Health Savings Account. there's a lot of...

they are also very loud!

wheee! still on track even with recent fireworks. took some damage but not nearly as much as it would have been had i not changed my approach.

this morning there were three large deer out back wandering around and trying to get back out. apparently they can't remember how they got in to begin with? Mom was watching them and giving me moment by moment updates. i had to ask her to stop telling me because the last time we had deer out...

i just can't imagine the texture being right for pressure canned sour cream but i'll have to trust those who've actually done it (as i'm very unlikely to ever have a way or reason to do it but who knows what the future might bring? :) ) ...

the kind that keeps them in line... my fly swatter doesn't seem to work.

another month or two perhaps. we'll see... i consider it foolishness to have 50-60s this time of the year as it can encourage fruit trees to bloom too early and then get taken out by frosts. it's much better that the seasons remain seasonal or perhaps well seasoned... :)

in the teens F here this morning, up to high 30sF today and sunny will melt all the remaining snow. later this week up to maybe over 60F by the end.
