First Snow

 
We woke up this morning to our first real snow of the season.  And I mean it was a good one.  I’m having a little trouble enjoying it though.  There was no delay for the schools in our county and there should have been.  The roads were terrible and of all days, I decided I [...]

Fire Ants, Ouch!

One of the things we have really loved about the move from SC to WV is that  we have not encountered those little devils called fire ants.  Since Charley had an extreme reaction 2 different times, we have had to be really careful when he’s outside cutting grass or working in the garden or even [...]
