It’s been there a while, the trash company is serious.

I like orange juice a little more than the average person but … no.

This seems strange.

This tree is leaning west and south … I suspect it may not make it through the winter.

Spent the day building a trap door into the back fence – now I can open it up and blow all the leaves out, making my life a lot easier.

The Emo Dog and I got in some time on the porch.

A bamboo growth was cut back, revealing an older tree that was being engulfed. The bamboo will be back in a matter of weeks, I suspect.

Some things just persist, you know?

We strive for gifts with meaning each year, so the Mrs. gave me this wonderful cup – “Not all those who wander are lost” – complete with a camper graphic.

I gave the kids dogs that bounce around when you put coins in their food bowls. Pointless, but endlessly entertaining.

And the dogs, of course, got new toys.
