I planted a peach tree this year that started really well. Contender peach, supposed to do really well in colder climates like mine, so we'll see. I'm in Zone 4 :th
I need one of those fancy towel warmer thingies, I just LOVE a warm towel - however I'm not running OUT to the laundry room to get one out the dryer! :gig (I do that for the kids now and then)
I'll second that. We got wildblue when we first moved to NE, and I tried for 3 days to connect to my VPN for work, and it was too slow, I kept timing out. We got hooked up through our phone company, with a package deal and its much faster, never have issues when the wind blows or anything.

Our last one was a boy - and he didn't know he was a goat, he'd play a little rough - I couldn't let my little girl go in the pen. My son eventually got nervous as well. Now both of them are all over this new little girl.
