Okay, so there’s one more project I need to do and do it quickly. My wife has to make a run to town today so she’ll be picking up the last few things I need for this so I...
Well, the babying and bundling up of my last two tomato plants to overnight them is over – the deer came through and cleared out the last of my tomatoes just as they were starting to turn. I guess...
