Monday Musings: Yard Work, Garden Plans, and Dog Walking
We got a good bit of yard work done on Saturday. It was a nice day, although a bit breezy. The BaldMan took the snowblower off the lawn tractor (No More Snow!). He didn't put the mower deck on. It needs a good cleaning and the blades need sharpening. The grass is barely growing yet, … Continue reading Monday Musings: Yard Work, Garden Plans, and Dog Walking

Monday Musings: Easter Dinner (Early Bird Style), The End of the Syrup Season, Spring?, and A New Bread Book
We had our family Easter dinner on Friday this year. It was the only day everyone could get together. We were at Krysta and Kleber's, and Steph, Jill, John, and Carter were all there. It was nice to have everyone in one place. It's been harder and harder to find times for these holiday get-togethers … Continue reading Monday Musings: Easter Dinner (Early Bird Style), The End of the Syrup Season, Spring?, and A New Bread Book

Friday Review: Jesus Christ in the Underworld by Simon Christopher
Jesus Christ in the Underworld by Simon Christopher My rating: 4 of 5 stars This book is hard to describe, and certainly hard to pigeonhole. As it starts, we meet Jesus, newly dead and arriving in Sheol, where he fully expects to be greeted by God. Instead, he's treated like any other dead soul, which … Continue reading Friday Review: Jesus Christ in the Underworld by Simon Christopher

Monday Musings: On the IR List, Winter Is Still Here, and Maple Syrup Time
Somewhere, somehow in the last couple of weeks, I either badly sprained or tore a deep muscle in my back. I actually had to go to the doctor with it. I was on a course of prednisone, and am on clyclobenzprine (Flexeril), which is a muscle relaxant. I had a few not very pleasant days … Continue reading Monday Musings: On the IR List, Winter Is Still Here, and Maple Syrup Time

Monday Musings: The Sap is Running!
For those wondering if Spring is ever coming, I can now say: Yes! Not only are some of the birds beginning to sing their Spring songs, the sparrows have been revisiting their nesting sites under our air conditioning units. One more sign: the sap is running in the trees. We have sugar maples on our … Continue reading Monday Musings: The Sap is Running!

We were up there for their annual Chilly Chili Stroll, running the judging for the professional chef's division of the Stroll. We got involved with this event a few years ago, … Continue reading Monday Musings: Away for the Weekend

Winter Pond: Revisiting an Old Essay
I wrote this piece in 2003. It placed second in a contest on a pond blog I followed. Since we are having a rather cold, snowy Winter this year, I thought I'd repost it here today. Yes, I wrote the piece in November, but it seems somehow appropriate for February. A Pond In … Continue reading Winter Pond: Revisiting an Old Essay
