If you have tulips, you are probably noticing that they are wilting away to nothing about now. If they haven’t started yet, the will soon. Tulips in general don’t survive outdoors beyond the end of May. Of course, this depends heavily on your climate.
You have three options now:
You can pull your tulips and throw them [...]

Three in one day…. Must have been a good day.
With Memorial Day approaching, my mind has been turned backwards on those who have gone before. I know that Memorial Day is not specifically a military holiday, but I’ve always pondered a lot on our servicemen and women during this time. My own father was a [...]

Today, Katherine and I were wrestling and having a good time. Part of wrestling is that one of us gets to be the monster; the other runs away. During this process, we were both running into the kitchen and Katherine managed to squeeze in behind me and get her head bonked on the door frame. [...]

A while back I mentioned that Buffy the Vampire Slayer was a great series. That was the first few seasons. We are now well into season four, and my opinion stands corrected.
The series as a whole is still good and enjoyable, but our dear Buffy and friends have what can only be termed as “major [...]

I always enjoy a good typo. Today at work, I noticed one that was just wonderful.

Katherine has now hit the wonderful age of potty training. This is a first for all of us, and we are dreading it. We just don’t know where to start or where to begin. We’ve read a lot of websites and done a lot of studying, but this is just a foreign concept to us.
We’ve [...]

There are two ways to plant: from seeds and from existing plants. I’m not talking about cuttings either, I’m talking going to the store and buying a flat of plants. Planting from seeds is more difficult, takes longer, and requires a lot of space. Typically, you’d plant your seeds well in advance of your regular [...]

One of the most common mistakes someone makes in gardening is watering. Often the problem is a case of underwatering, but some also overwater.
Underwatering
Underwatered plants are easy to spot; the leaves are brittle, curled, and dry. Sometimes the leaves become droopy. If that doesn’t help, a sure sign of underwatering is that your flowers absolutely [...]

Anyone who knows me well, knows that I am fascinated by Harry Potter. Harry Potter is an important part of my life for many reasons.
First and foremost, adolescent literature is my favorite genre. I am very well-read in many genres, but no other genre attacks social ills and problems like adolescent literature does. In some [...]

My brother recently asked how to opt-out of getting all those credit card offers. It’s really rather simple, and if you haven’t done it yet, I highly recommend it. A credit card application, even one that has been ripped up, is an open invitation to having your identity stolen.
The Opt-Out program is a program that, [...]
