We planted a Honey Crisp Apple tree 2 years ago and this year it finally came to fruit. They are sweet and juicy right off the tree and Sandi has made several apple pies. MMMMMmmmm. Another pretty good iPhone pic eh?

This isn't a real pic, it is actually two pics taken with my iPhone while the horses were sleeping one morning recently. I stitched them together using the iPhone app Auto Stitch, cropped and framed them with the app Photogene, and added the lightning with the app...

Mid-June update

As I mentioned, tomorrow I go in for my 2nd surgery. I'm looking forward to it and getting my intestines back to normal. The worst part is having to stay in the hospital bed for 7 days. We are in the middle of our first hay cutting this year, don't know if we will...

I had my final surgery on Thursday to reverse my ileostomy and I'm being released from the hospital in a few hours. Woo-hoo! All systems seem to be working fine and I'm digesting scrambled eggs & pancakes as I write this. I still have a month or so of healing of...

It Didn’t Explode!

It's the time of year to burn the fields in preparation for the new hay season. I have a bit of pyromania in my blood so I always look forward to this task. Armed with my LP tank and weed burner attachment I set out burning the field south of the house. All went...

Everyone seems to get butt-hurt so easily these days. At least the Irish don't get offended easily. I don't see them demanding that Lucky Charms change their name or stop using the diminutive supernatural being in Irish folklore, the beloved leprechaun.

Well, the judge in the NCT bankruptcy case ruled that our reorganization plan and auction should move forward as presented in our motion. He apparently did not buy the argument that the parent company or current management (moi) allowed our personal stakes in the...

Captive in my own home

by up10ad | Thu Sep 4, 2008 | All (Home), Health, Homestead | 0 Comments

Although my recovery is coming along fine, my mobility is limited by abdominal tenderness. I've been on the couch or in bed for days on end and it is annoying to say the least. The other night brought a beautilul sunset with bright long shadows that enticed me from...
