Surfing in December »

I raked the leaves in front of the house this morning, and the yard looks so much better.  It was getting to be an embarrassment.  The problem was that we’ve been trying to let the spot where we’ve had a burn pile in past years grow back in (even though Harvey’s been using it as [...]
