Most of the time, I’m in charge of my weekend, but not this last one – it was in charge of me. I had high hopes of spending my Saturday gardening after I spent $60 at a local nursery on new plants and annuals, but the rain kept me from my plans, and I was…

First of all, I’m so sorry to anyone experiencing site problems in the last 24 hours. Long story short, I’m trying to switch servers to save money but everything is not going according to plan, so thanks for your patience.
