Getting holiday-ready

by Kathi D on November 19, 2009

I don’t get why the major holidays have to be bunched up at the end of the year, leaving January through May pitiful and under-celebrated. Nevertheless, plans must be made. Thanksgiving is nearly wrapped up, what with the 2-hour turkey and all. A couple of added turkey notes: I have had some of those hunnert-dollar [...]

Look who’s here again

by Kathi D on November 6, 2009

Big Red the Landscape Guy (Not His Real Nickname) has been here again. As usual, it started with a couple of small requests that grew and grew. A few plants here, a few dozen there, and before you know it, things are happening. Part of the back yard was looking ragged from wild turkeys scratching [...]

Follow, lead, or get out of the way

by Kathi D on March 18, 2009

I don’t know what it is about trends and me. I don’t think of myself as a trend follower or a trend setter, yet I manage to find myself in the thick of it time and time again. This time, it’s the Home Garden Movement. Although, myself, I don’t have a good movement without a [...]

Exactly what constitutes spoiling?

by Kathi D on December 9, 2008

Homemade dog treats? A Puppy Palace to protect them from marauding mountain lions? Big Red (Not His Real Nickname) built a sturdy and pretty Puppy Palace, enclosed on all sides (including the top) with hog wire. Big Red likes all his structures to be pretty, notwithstanding my usual directive at the beginning of every project, [...]

By special request

by Kathi D on November 14, 2008

Toi wanted a front view of Little Mack, to see who Brooklyn has been hanging out with, and who can refuse Miss Toi AKA Toe? Big Red and Little Mack (Not Their Real Nicknames) are here for a few days, building a small lion-proof yard for the dogs’ nighttime ablutions. It was supposed to be [...]

Dogs & pests & Big Red & Little Mac

by Kathi D on November 12, 2008

Brooklyn and Barkley started a new school term last Saturday, and I hate to brag, but . . . Actually, this isn’t really a brag, it’s more of an admission. One of their fellow students is a little black Scottie named Angus, who just happens to be a grandson of Barney Bush. Yes, that Barney [...]
