The dogs find pure joy in running through the back meadow. I’m not sure what they’ll do if we ever get a fence up and something to eat the grass… The previous owners mowed this 2 acres but we’ve decided that it’s too much work, not to mention a waste of gas.

I’ve got a lot to say about our local Thanksgiving, I just want to think on it a bit before saying it. In the meantime, can you tell what’s wrong with this picture?
Do you see it? That missing piece of pipe is because I once again forgot that I’ve got an industrial strength garbage disposal combined with a mix […]
