Horse Pucky Spring

Sad, but true, this is actually a garden.

I took a look at my garden today and it's just pathetic. It's 33 degrees outside with wind chills making the air feel more like 19 degrees.The ground's still semi-frozen with some green sprouts shooting up, but I think those sprouts are seriously thinking of going underground.

Currently, our landscape around here consists of drab brown, gray, and dull army green. Leafless branches on the trees add to the dreary rather than cheery surroundings. At least the patches of white snow nestled among the dried leaves is somewhat of a pick-me-up.

Welcome to Spring in upstate New York. I know it won't be long before the sun and the rich soil weaves it's magic, producing a bountiful garden of flowers. It's time for me to help those future posies along with ample bushel baskets of horse pucky. My neighbors usually complain about the odor for at least a month, even after mulching, but they are rewarded with bouquets of homegrown flowers through the spring and summer months.

Happy first day of Spring!

Blessings Br-r-r

Br-r-r, it's 37 degrees with the northeast wind blowing snow swirls on this St. Patrick's Day. It doesn't matter what the temperature is outside because it's always a good day to celebrate our blessings. To all of you, I'd like to wish you a very Happy St. Patrick's Day from Silver, Sadie, Buzi, and me. By the way, kiss me, I'm Polish.

Alphabet Thursday - "Q"

"Q" is for Quirify where you can generate QR codes. What is a QR code?



QR Code

A QR code is a small, two dimensional bar code that is easy to scam with your mobile phone. Most of you probably already know this, but I'm technologically challenged and  just discovered it on the Internet looking for a different word for Jenny Matlock's, "Alphabet Thursday" .

If you scan the bar code above, you'll be able to download "Horse Pucky" onto your mobile phone. That is, of course, if you have absolutely nothing better to do or if you've had a tad too much of the bubbly.

While walking around town, you can whip out your mobile phone and scan a QR code on a poster to get information about an upcoming event, and then book tickets right from your phone. I think that's kinda' cool.

Get "quirified" by going to www.Quirify.com where you can get your own barcode for your blog or website.

Thanks, Jenny, for the "Q" challenge today. I learned something new. Well, new for me anyway.

Cooters Decor

RELAX! These are actually bar stools.

Someone took my "Cooters" post seriously. They ordered the bar stools pictured above. Yes, what you actually see are bar stools. They're perfect for my new business venture.

Spencer thinks he's bigger than he really is.
