If you stop and think about it this past weekend was one of the few wet weekends, we have had in a long time. I was of course planning on doing good weather projects but when that wasn’t the case, I managed to tackle things in my house that needed […]
My birch trees are now turning a golden yellow and the rain from the weekend had many of the leaves beginning a mat over my just mowed lawn. We are now in the early stages of the put away season. We will be closing the cabin for the winter shortly […]

Rotten apples can be quite frustrating, especially when you were looking forward to enjoying a crisp and juicy bite. Rotten apples are a result of various factors, primarily centered around […]
Sports fans usually have their 15 minutes of fame and disappear into anonymity. There was the guy who”cost” the Chicago Cubs their first World Series appearance in almost a century….what was his name again? (Steve Bartman, I looked it up). Other than him, the two guys who followed Hank Aaron […]
