GARDEN!

My gourds did not do so well. They are only 65" long. I hope I can get better next year! We are having a freeze tonight, in which I expect the plants to die, but hopefully not the gourds! I know I have a brother who has a 850# Pumpkin. It did alright for how bad the year was. He was hoping for better! Watermelons did very bad. We haven't harvested a ripe one yet! Carrots did alright. Tomatoes did too well. Peppers were great! Sold a bunch to a store. I hope to be able to blog more now!

The mess of plaster!

I have just recently begun redoing my room. In doing so I had to tear off one whole wall of plaster. It was a mess. After going through that work, I was glad that I would be able to patch up the rest of the room with db90 (a material similar to sheetrock mud that does not shrink and is much stronger that mud.) I would guess that any of you who have had the pleasure of ripping off bad plaster, would agree with be that tearing off plaster is a mess not to be trifled with unless under dire straits.

Hi!

I thought it was "altogether fitting and proper that we [I] should do this” first post on my blog. These words of Abraham Lincoln in his Gettysburg address just fit this moment of starting my new blog as I was deciding if I should begin by posting. As you now see I have begun. Although by this blog's title you would think that it will be a dog blog, it will not be. I named it because of my passion for this breed, but I actually still do not have a Chessie. This will be anything that comes to mind.
Posting later.
