Washing the RV to Sell It

October 17, 2025 On October 15, we had someone express interest in the RV and he wanted to come see it on Monday (October 13). We agreed to show the RV. On Saturday (October 11), I checked on the red pineapple. I spotted a grey praying mantis on the side of the house. As we […]

Sunrise to Sunset

October 16, 2025 On Friday (October 10), Nox got me up at sunrise, 7:00 am. Nox needed to go outside to pee. While Nox wandered around off the patio, I watched the beautiful sunrise through the pine trees. After Nox finished her stops, she trotted back to me, ready to go inside. Once inside, she […]

Planting Garlic, Greens, and Radishes Before the Rain

October 13, 2035 On Monday (October 6), I took a few pictures of the red pineapple. For breakfast, I made baklava muffins. These were so good; I’ll share the recipe in a different post. In the short garden beds, A1 and A2, I turned in the dirt and compost Bruce put on the beds with […]

Digging Up Daffodils to Move into the Large Flower Garden

October 9, 2025 On Sunday (October 5), Bruce pulled the chipper into the back pasture, next to the branch pile to be chipped. While Bruce feed branches into the chipper, I dug up flagged daffodil bulbs. I had flagged the daffodils when they bloomed in the spring. For protection when chipping, Bruce wears his hard […]

Using More Chips to Prepare for More Blueberries

October 3, 2025 We got up early on Wednesday (October 1). I wanted to use the remaining pile of chips as mulch to prepare the ground for more blueberry plants. Taking a digging shovel and a scooping shovel from the barn, I carried the scooping shovel to the pile of chips and stuck it upright […]

More Chipping and Dirt Moving

September 28, 2025 On September 21 (Monday), we headed out to work in the yard. From the barn, Bruce towed the chipper with the lawn mower to the large pile of branches from pine 2 and pine 3. Once he had the chipper in place, Bruce drove the mower back to barn and hooked up […]

Moving More Dirt to the Large Flower Bed

September 28, 2025 On September 21 (Sunday) morning, Bruce and I moved three carts of Bama Dirt Pro Mix to the front large flower bed. If you look closely at the walkway in the above picture, you can see the hummingbird bird feeders. In the late afternoon, I went out to get the hummingbird feeders […]

Finishing the Sweet Potato Harvest

September 27, 2025 I was eager to finish digging up the sweet potatoes, so I was up at sunrise on Saturday (September 20). Surprisingly, in a sweet potato flower blooming on a sweet potato in a grow bag on my patio, there was a bumble bee. I watched Nox until she was tired of sniffing […]

Start of the Sweet Potato Harvest

September 26, 2025 Early morning Friday (September 19), I helped Bruce move the trunk of pine tree one. He was cutting it into sections. He needed the trunk moved so the chainsaw wouldn’t bind. As Bruce levered the trunk up, I pushed a piece of oak trunk, about 6 inches high, underneath the trunk of […]
