It’s like the shine on your shoes, or hearing a blues that’s great. Makes you relax, like a big tax rebate! We got light! Okay, so maybe those aren’t the actual lyrics, but I’ll take any excuse to squeeze in a song from Annie. In fact, I think we might name a child Annie one [...]

Last night, D got out his trusty smoking chainsaw and cut some limbs off the way overgrown redtips to make room for a little tomato garden with the tomato plants our neighbor gave us. One of the plants already has a tiny green tomato on it. While he did that, I curled up on the [...]
