I’ve been meaning to register Hayseed as an LLC for eons.

Finally did it.

Had a little help mowing the lawn.

I’m getting pretty good at this selfie thing all the kids do these days.

And, yes, it is hot and sweaty outside today. The yard won’t care for itself.

Adios, New York Times.

I’ve had enough. Time to speak with my money I suppose.

This little feller is helping me lay the foundation for my retaining wall.

Wish I could’ve gotten closer.

That’s how old the United States of America is.

Will we have a 249th birthday? Only if we elect Joe Biden. That will allow us to add four additional years to the count.

Happy Fourth of July.

Let’s see how Mrs. Fahrni and Taylor are doing in California!

Sucks to be them. 🤣 Having to deal with perfect blue sky and sunshine with a high in the mid-70’s.

A few of Kim’s happy flowers.

Longest day of the year. It’s 9:04 and still light.

Love it.

I think Kim is excited for her and Taylor’s California trip. 😆

Caught a Durham Bulls game tonight with a bunch of WillowTree folk. Unfortunately the Bulls lost in extra innings but it’s a beautiful downtown and the ballpark is gorgeous.

Having a nice mocha at Cocoa Cinnamon in downtown Durham.

I like this city.

Got a buddy pair coding with me on the porch this morning. 🐸

We moved Kim’s gardenia out front last Sunday. It didn’t have a single bloom opened at the time. It’s been busy this week.

I found Mothra.

Epimecis hortaria, the tulip-tree beauty, is a moth species of the Ennominae subfamily found in North America.

I obviously haven’t paid attention to one part of our yard. Now, it’s covered in poison ivy. I’m a big dummy. 🤣

Kim’s roses are pretty happy but something has been snacking on the leaves.

One year ago Ms. Gracie joined our family. At the time she was five months old and weighed in at 45lbs. Today she’s 95lbs of cuddly dog and owns my heart. ❤️

Our daughter and son-in-law are moving. As they were cleaning out their shed they were greeted by a two foot long copperhead.

Our daughter moved a storage tote and there it was. It struck out and luckily it hit the tote.

She, her hubby, and children are all fine.

More of Kim’s roses. She’s had this one for a very long time. It’s moved from house to house through the years.

Kim’s roses are enjoying this weather.

It’s time to do some camping! Kim and I picked up a new to us camping trailer.

We have a list of places we’d like to visit. Now we just need to pick one and go!

I thought it was allergies. Nope, it’s a cold. NyQuil and DayQuil have once again become my best friends. 🤧

I saw a picture someone posted of the beach and I thought of Avila Beach, California.

Kim and I lived not far from it and would go to the beach at least once a week. We’d load up Maggie — our Yorkie — grab a coffee, and dive to the beach.

We’d throw the ball for Maggie and she’d run up and down the beach until she was worn out.

If we could live there for the remainder of our lives together we would. It’s our little paradise.

I miss our beach dates. I miss California.

Kim’s flowers are pretty darned happy. There are a few new flowers in the mix but the purple and yellow flowers and her mini roses have been around for years.
