Laundry Nirvana
Carolyn & I have reached a mini-milestone in our home-owning life that I like to call "Momentary Laundry Nirvana." Through the course of our individual and collective lives we've used and owned many a washer and dryer. But anyone who knows laundry, knows they break and die. And anyone who knows home-ownership, knows that they never break or die at the same time. This August our Dryer died so we decided to replace it with a new style fancy dryer. But alas our 8-year old washing machine marched on with no problems. Last weekend we were lucky enough to find that our old washing machine was rusted out so badly that it not only leaked on our new addition floor (still concrete so no worries), but it also seeped under our new walls and into the studio and garage. This apparent bad news turned into good news when we realized the washing machine that matches our recently purchased dryer is still for sale! Woo hoo...so now we have reached that pinnacle of laundry contentment...a matching washer & dryer. Eat your heart out Frank & Jan....now ours match too!

Eagles come to Harvey's Lake
Now get your head out of football mode...I'm talking the bird not the football team. This is the tree in our back yard and this appears to be a bald eagle. It didn't stay long especially as I moved for a better photo, but when it flew away it was clear that this birdy was huge. I've included two photos, one zoomed in and one normal....you be the judge. a Bald Eagle in Harvey's Lake in Jan??share on: facebook

Ice at the lake - 24 Dec 2008
Santa brought a special surprise this morning for Christmas Eve.....ICE! And yes that's solid ice everywhere and a truck (and our snowplow) both stuck in the ditch. The guys literally had to crawl on hands & knees to cross the road. Nasty stuff...but thankfully it is changing to rain as I type this.

OBX 2009 - We're Reserved!
So we're a little later than normal and I'm still awaiting the agreement contract, but OBX 2009 is locked in. We'll be in northern Whalehead (up above Barracuda St for those that know the area), it will be out 5th year wedding anniversary (wow did that go fast), and I'm open to ideas for this year's prank (although I actually enjoyed bleaching my hair last year) what this year's bracelet will say, how many cases of beer to bring and how many pounds of candy to pack. I thought I'd post up a little teaser photo of what our house's walkway looks like.....I can't wait!

Greenhouse Progress...We Have the Heat
It's been a while since we checked in with some greenhouse progress. Ironically enough, we've done nothing but greenhouse work all summer as far as house-work is concerned. As you can see we've added some shelves and moved some test plants out, and the big progress is heat. We've added a 35K BTU propane heater and a 5K electric heater. We've spent weeks building the mounting rack, and working out the propane line...and now we're ready for the cold season. Only propane prices and our budget will dictate how long we keep the greenhouse active this winter. I'll post a few pictures later. Right now we're trying to balance 100+ degree days and 45-degree nights...so no propane heat yet and auto-venting still on. Cooling during the day and heating during the night....quite a challenge.
