Wednesday, December 3 View Page I will no longer be posting real photos of myself as this AI stuff is .well. if you don't see what's coming down the pipe, ooof.it's gonna get into every aspect of our life. Our homes, computers, phone. So if there's any footage of me chasing the ol lady around the patch in my skivies that pops up online.that's definitely fake news. Wednesday, December 3 View Page I'm normally a "if life gives you lemons, make lemonade " type of guy..sometimes even a "if you get some extra sour ones, make a pie" type of guy. But man, sometimes life just stomps on yer throat, knocks yer dick off with a seven iron and tries to fix the divot with a cheese grater. That's when I know it's time to get back to something that brings me joy. My gardens. Here's The yucca with a double bloom. Wednesday, December 3 View Page We've been trying to correct soil issues for the last two years so not a whole lot of fun veggies being grown. Here's some of those Chi-com forget me nots.

Wednesday, December 3 View Page One of my favorite stories I'll ever tell.this is Wendy.she's a young downy woodpecker that got caught in the greenhouse. Tried to get her to fly out for a half hour. Long story short, the bird had to trust me and fly toward me when I had the end of the greenhouse open. She did.. and landed on the step ladder i had set up, right outside the doors. I became her hero that day. I could tell by the look in her eyes. Wednesday, December 3 View Page For the rest of the summer I could call her from anywhere in the yard. Wendy!!!!..lol..I think a cooper hawk got her. Wednesday, December 3 View Page Anyone know their birds?.this one is very uncommon for the middle of NY.
