We spent our day off being productive. We got up early and took down two trees, then dug a three-foot hole for a new tree. After that, we headed to my mom’s house to power wash the exterior. While we were there, we received a few gifts. Later, we returned home to remove a tree… Read More What to do on our day off?

Over the past few days, we have noticed that the outside lights have been going a little crazy and flashing in different zones. We also noticed that the patio lights did not work on one side. Then, yesterday morning, I woke up to the message that there was no Wi-Fi. I tried what I could,… Read More New router

We both had the day off and tackled a project we had discussed for weeks. Should we remove the large blue spruce tree from the front yard? Yes, we should. We started around noon. Once Cas started cutting the branches, I removed them and loaded the truck. Once it was full, I would go to… Read More The big tree project

Yesterday afternoon, I dusted off the drone we have not used in years and took it out for a quick spin. It’s a DJI Spark that we bought years ago to use while traveling. However, in most of the places we visit, including National Parks, drones are prohibited. So we have not had a chance… Read More Drone view

We are both off today, so we planned on playing some pickleball and maybe working in the yard, but that changed when we got up. We walked downstairs to see a layer of snow around… Read More It’s still winter

This week received around three and a half inches of snow, and it looks like this could be our last week of snow for the season. Over the next few days, we expect rain and daytime temperatures in the mid-forties, climbing to fifty next week, along with some sun to help melt the remaining snow.… Read More Last day of snow?

Last Tuesday we had some blowing snow overnight and that was just the beginning of a few days of snow for us. By Thursday we had around a foot of snow, which is fantastic and on Friday we decided to clear the driveway by hand. The very next day the forecast was for 30% chance… Read More Snow is here

This past week, we spent time pruning the trees around the house. We tackled the fruit trees: apples, apricots, Italian plums, and cherries. We also trimmed the flowers and plants in Rosy’s Garden. This is the earliest we tackled this project, so we are excited to see the results.

This time of year, we are always busy with work, and there have been times when we just didn’t have the time to decorate a tree with lights and ornaments. So when our first day off was 12/10, we went for it. First, we decorated the tree in the front window with lights and an… Read More Getting ready for Christmas
