all the water

I’m not so good sometimes at being someone else’s “water”. I’ve had my moments….said the right thing at the right time….made the move that saved the day….but for the most part, I just blunder through and sometimes leave some carnage … Continue reading

pine forest

There’s a big, 5 deep row of pine trees on the property we just bought. Somewhere in its line of owners, one of the folks who lived there had connections to a family member who ran a tree farm….so there are … Continue reading
