I have very good news.  We now carry Felco Pruners for both right and left handed users as well as a smaller sized pair for those of you with smaller hands.  These pruners are awesome.  They are made to last a lifetime.  You can sharpen them or replace parts if need be. They fit your hand comfortably so [...]

   After scouring every field, we finally agreed on a Frasier Fir.  She is a beauty!Â
We had it bailed and put on the car, then wandered in to the barn. My son and his wife found a beautiful tree [...]

I am planting bulbs  to prepare for the flower fix I will need by January.  So to enjoy some springtime in the winter, forcing bulbs can be a lot of fun.  It is even a great project for kids because it is so simple to do.  Pick out some paper white narcissus, they are the easiest [...]

 Went on a drive today just taking in the scenery.Â
These two fellas were watching so intently as I took their picture.  You would have thought they were statues.

 I thought I would stay with the holiday theme and show my one Thanksgiving vintage piece.  It is a platter for turkey.Â
 I got it at a garage sale a long time ago.
  I use it every year with out fail. Â
