    I'm a gonna need that t-shirt! I put up a hoop house and named it 'Her Hootis'. Feeling proud of myself, I asked the other half if I could put a picture of her 'hootis' on the internet. She slapped me. Damn!! :-)

    Hey Lydia and Jim. It was nice to spend a few minutes with you and I really enjoy and look forward to your vlogs. Jim was right Lydia, you do look pretty with the wind blowing your hair. Jim made two offers to come help out and nothing would please me more y'all; it's too bad I'm not closer or I'd take you up on it. Ladley is such a cutie and sweet little one. It's fun to watch her be busy doing her stuff. Have a productive week and be safe. Larry, Central Valley, Ca.

Just finished first must wish me luck. The edge didn’t work great cause was mostly rock near edge or some parts but a shed will be covering it just a small one like that holds 2 big trash cans found it at Sam’s $134 is usually $350 but for pick up it was 134 so I jumped on that and luckily got a helper to carry the cement bags at home but have mesh metal cart I put 8 bags n I got from Home Depot and pulled it around close to area.
