Memorial Day Work Results
Here are the before and after pics of our yard beds. Mucho Mucho Thanks to Mom and Dad for the amazing amount of work they contributed to the project. There will probably be a set of AFTER AFTER pics once the transplanted bulbs grow and the sunflowers we planted blossom.

Seven Must-Listen This American Life Episodes :: List of the Day :: Paste

Two Dummies Brave the Ice
Ted on the Ash Cave Path, originally uploaded by TCTruffin. On Friday, Ted and I thought it would be nice to return to Hocking Hills State Park and see the ice formations at Old Man’s Cave and Ash Cave. Todd thought, “What with the recent fluctuations in temperature–the warm days followed by the bone-chilling cold–there …
