The House of the Lifted Lorax. Unless someone like you cares a whole awful lot …. July 18, 2007 in Alternative energy.

A journalist looks at 40 | Red Fork Hippie

https://redforkhippie.wordpress.com/2015/05/30/a-journalist-looks-at-40

Hit me with your best shot. A journalist looks at 40. May 30, 2015. NOTE: I know. I’ve been distracted. I’ll post an update on my projects eventually, but I have more important things to discuss at the moment. I am 40 today. I’ve wanted to be 40 since high school. My parents turned 40 when I was 16, and I always saw 40 as the dividing line between “kid” and “grownup.”. All I ever wanted in life was to be a grownup.

Hit me with your best shot. How my garden grows. June 6, 2015. I’m slowly but surely turning my backyard into the sort of enchanted garden I’ve always wanted. I’m still several hundred pounds of Sackrete, ten lawn gnomes and a couple more growing seasons away, but it’s really taking shape this summer. Here is the view from the little bench next to the pond. I love my mermaid. Now for a few details:. I have a lawn gnome I bought last spring that I’m going to paint this week to look like the Ninth Do...
