I finally received the beans from that guy I found online. The garden was sopping wet near the bean trellis after the rains — standing water like a pond. So I bought some garden soil to build up that area…
Blast!
I’m pretty sure my tomatoes have Septoria Leaf Spot. Arg. The Roma tomatoes seem to have it the worst, and they are the tallest, so I picked off the worst branches hoping that the rain won’t splash more infected soil…
Ganglion Cyst Removal / Excision Recovery Pictures
I had surgery on Wednesday, April 10, to remove a ganglion cyst that’s been bothering me for ages. It used to be that I could put a splint on it and it would go down, but the last few years…
Irises, Roses, and Azaleas — Oh My!
I was away for a week, and when I got home the garden was full of blossoms (and weeds — poison ivy, as it turns out). Nobody weeded for 9 days!!! :( The asparagus was still growing well, but my…

My 4-day Push Pull Split Workout
Back in September, my daughter asked to start going to the gym with me. She wanted to go four days a week instead of my usual two or three, so I needed to rewrite my workout plan. I prefer a…
I need Church
It was a rough day today. We all have them. I could barely hold myself together but I went to church anyway looking for some healing. I’ve been subbing with the 5yos lately, and most weeks one of the boys…
