Hi Friend, Had to cut trails in the yard for the Labs to go outside last weekend. Running the snowblower is such a satisfying thing for me. You are one with the machine. That annoying thing that guy said yesterday stops running on the hamster wheel in your head while
Hi Friend, Above is about 130 lbs of Labrador who love to jump on your bed when you are trying to sleep. Sometimes Andy asks to jump up. Spike does not. Finally a break in the cold, that if you live North, you have experienced. Last week one day almost
Hi Friend, Biggest storm in many years here in BKLN. About 12" of mostly powder followed by some ice pellets. The Labs love the park in snow, but it gets hard to move through the meadow so we have been walking on the paths. The car is surrounded by
Hi Friend, A throwback to 4 years ago, here's Henry and Spike. Following the successful shop drawers install (vid here) I tried to put some clear storage containers in the space between the large drawers and the table top. This, of course, was not as simple as I
Hi Friend, OK the snow hasn't melted yet. But Andy & Spike are fine with that. Lots of rolling in the snow, and eating it. Do your pups eat snow? Do you? I do. GF Radio: Rick's Flaming Bags Of Dog Poop. Rick titled this episode

Hi Friend, First snow up at the house. Kinda sorta dusting, but it was actual snow. And because my lawnmower/leaf mulcher is being repaired (video to come) the snow is on top of all the oak leaves. Nice. Of course, the cold and frost days came faster than I
Hi Friend, Andy is wicked smart. She is always studying things. Meanwhile Spike wags her tail through the day. Not planned, but cast iron pans and pizzas are featured in some of the new vids, plus the bees, who I just prepared for winter. Fingers crossed :) Ask me a question
