Updates: Busy September after Chicago
September seemed very short, very busy and rather disrupted. I had stuff going on nearly every weekend and that’s continuing into October, as well. I’ve long had a routine of getting chores and errands done on Monday and Tuesday, and … Continue reading

Me and the fairies, what a team!
Here’s the second part of the updates since May 28! Dad’s Townsend Military Band season kicks off with Memorial Day, so I observe Memorial Day rather thoroughly. This year, I got up early and went to the traditional joint service … Continue reading

Didn’t someone mention spring?
*grump* I’m in a bad mood. You know how it is–a million little things, and they all pile up. I’ve been having a very annoying time with this journal, or more accurately, with this domain it’s on, vyrdolak.com. I have … Continue reading
Continuing with spring work, without the actual spring
In the past seven days, I’ve logged sixteen and half hours working outside in my yards. I’ve been out every day except Wednesday, when it poured rain. That seems like a lot, somehow. On Friday, I moved two very large … Continue reading
Can you dig it?
I’ve really been working hard out in the yards this week. Whew. I actually think I’m ahead of a lot of my neighbors. I’ve seen a few people raking, especially those with south-facing property whose bulbs were starting to come … Continue reading
