So much so that he will be getting a college scholarship to play at my alma mater. We are so excited to have him back! He will go home for...

    bizarre weather

    I'm sitting here watching the snow fly and hearing the wind howl. We hardly had any snow this winter and have had more snow and rain this April than all those months. We desperately needed moisture so I'm not complaining but I never remember ever having snow this late. I'm fairly certain we will...

    Spring Garden

    we still have frost in the ground. Last week we had the worst ice storm that I can remember and then 5" of snow on it. There are so many trees damaged it is taking all our time getting things cleaned up. Last year we had so much planting done by now and this year we haven't turned a wheel yet...

    watering :(

    I am sure it's going to be another interesting year here. We had very little snow again this winter for the third year in a row. The ground is still frozen solid too so I think it will be a late spring.

    This "he" is a "she" thank you very much. Sorry my opinion doesn't agree with yours. I never said i voted for obama the first time, i didn't if that makes you feel better. Funny how you seem to think you know me, you don't.

    I think part of my problem is the fact that i was raised by very right wing parents. Our county was 99% republican. I get into arguments with my parents and in laws about this election and i feel bad about it. I lean towards obama because our national secretary of ag is from iowa and a good ag...

    It's a real conundrum for me. I don't think I will vote for a president this year.
