Blind Hog and Acorn welcomed Midsommar by picking blueberries at a local farm. 90 min for the two of them to fill their buckets, 13 lbs total. Not bad for $30. Beef is what has been for lunch… NY strips and an arm roast. All delicious. Thank you, Calpurnia and Mr Tasty! Garden is almostContinue reading “Season 5, Episode #25~ Blueberry Pickin’ Time…”

Season 5, Episode #22~ Floods…
Damn near 5 inches in 12 hrs or less… Needless to say that Blind Hog’s most perfect driveway grading this week got washed out down to the uneven bedrock.

“Official” start of summer, so Acorn told the cats they had to hand out under th3 carport, where they USED to hang out until they figured out how to go in and out of the dog door.

Season 5, Episode #16~ The Dude Abides…
Blind Hog and Acorn said goodbye to Skittles the macaw this week- the houseguest went back home.
