OK… let’s see… the DW and I have slightly disappeared the last couple weeks. Just to dispel any rumors, we’re still here. We haven’t joined on as roadies for Sesame Street Live or hooked up with a traveling circus as the resident clown family in training… though the later might by fun for a few […]

Who Needs Robins
Posted by The Dirt Road Home in Monday, April 1st 2013 under: Miscellaneous
No one leave their comment yetNormally it’s the appearance of robins that mark the approach of spring, but that doesn’t seem to be the case around here for the last month. Instead, we’ve been overrun with cardinals – it’s common to spot a half dozen of them in one of the trees outside the kitchen window. Not sure what the […]

Slacker
Posted by The Dirt Road Home in Monday, March 18th 2013 under: Miscellaneous
No one leave their comment yetNo post in over 10 days… next week we should be back on top of things… hopefully. Just to prove the DW and I haven’t been slacking, here’s a quick glimpse of what we’ve been up to instead of typing — Lulu had the stomach flu and Peanut had an eye infection during the first […]

Supply and Demand (Happy Valentine’s Day)
Posted by The Dirt Road Home in Thursday, February 14th 2013 under: Miscellaneous
No one leave their comment yetThe DW and I celebrated Valentine’s over tacos at a local Mexican restaurant earlier today. Those of you that know us or have been following the blog for a while know that I manage to round up flowers for her on occasion – I even planted 8 rose bushes for her at our old house […]

Weekend Photos…
Posted by The Dirt Road Home in Thursday, February 7th 2013 under: Miscellaneous, Weather
No one leave their comment yetAs I’m putting this together, they’re calling for highs in the 30s and rain so I thought I’d share some images of what the place looks like covered in snow before it’s all brown again.

The Most Famous Wagon On (Google) Earth
Posted by The Dirt Road Home in Friday, January 4th 2013 under: Miscellaneous
No one leave their comment yetI downloaded Google’s SketchUp software the other day hoping it would be helpful with drawing up a plan for a cattle shed (that’s still a few years off). As I was messing around with it, I found the “Add Location” tab that allows you to import an image from Google’s Map. I imported our property […]

The Preemie Project
Posted by The Dear Wife in Saturday, December 29th 2012 under: Miscellaneous, Peanut
No one leave their comment yetMoments after Peanut was born, the UIHC AirCare helicopter was dispatched to transport her to the the UIHC NICU. (This was because of prematurity – her NEC issue was yet to come.) The transport team brought along a handmade black and gold hat the perfect size for Peanut’s tiny head – Peanut’s first gift. This […]

No one leave their comment yetWe haven’t had much of a chance to update the site lately. Since the last post, I’ve been battling spam comments. It’s gotten to the point that I’ve deleted over 2000 comments in the last 10 days. Most of that was my fault – if I would have taken the time to modify a few […]
