Last fall April and I wanted to start getting our hands dirty, mud caked fingernails, sweaty foreheads, outdoor punishment. We have always been a little green around the thumb with planting our flower gardens, but we wanted more. First step for me is always research.... Learn something everyday is my motto. I went to my most favorite location to start my research. What would the world do without this place? Every time April and I are like, "So...what do you want to do tonight?" It will inevitably lead us to the front doors of B&N. Now that my research can begin I make my way to the gardening section, it takes a real man to sit down next to six women and look at garden books. Two of these women glanced over at me with a half snicker in the corner of their lips. On with the research... I found the most amazing book called "The Backyard Homestead" which could potentially lead April and I down the path of being farm folk. Below is the idea that we are after for our layout. The house even kind of looks like our house and yard layout. Basically this would be our goal for the next 1-3 years of getting it ready. Because we live within city limits though we would need to nix the pigs :-( The next thing on my list is the removal of a couple of trees in the back yard and starting the construction of the raised beds. Today though I am going to be working on a project for a friend of mine. I am turning an old piano from 1930ish into a TV stand. I will post pictures as the project comes along. Happy research to everyone and keep learning something.
Ring bearer? Sure. Ring BEAR? Hell yes! Every time we get to see a ring bear, we get excited. We decided to pull together all of our favorite ring bears to pay respect to that most LOL-worthy of guests and bear(er) of rings, who sweats his or her way through the ceremony for our viewing pleasure.

September 13, 2019 Human corpses move around significantly as they decompose, according to an Australian researcher who observed a dead body over a 17-month period. Australian researcher Alyson Wilson, the lead author of the study, found that the dead body moved for more than a year after death—findings which could have significant implications for post-mortem investigations, AFP reported. Wilson suggests that the process of decomposition could be responsible for the movements: as the body
A first look at Jeremy Clarkson’s third season of Clarkson’s Farm has arrived, but there is some terrible news on the way.
Amanda, 45, and Clive Owen, 66, star in Channel 5's Our Yorkshire Farm with their brood of nine children, which followes their life on their farm in Upper Swaledale where they have 1,000 sheep.
We actually slept in until 8 am this morning when Larnzy called and woke us. It was a long and productive day yesterday. We walked to the Port Authority to find out what time we can leave in the morning. 6 am is the first bus out and Frank wants to be on it because we have a long drive back to the plane and then a short flight out and he would like to land before dark. Right next to the Port Authority is the Cake Boss Bakery. My Spencer loves the Cake Boss so we were very excited and had to go inside to get him a shirt. From there we went to breakfast and then walked over to the Empire State Building where we spent the next few hours learning about this awesome structure. It was well worth while and I am glad that it was on our to do list. We stopped on the 2nd floor where we went into the IMAX theatre for a virtual helicopter flight over NYC to see all the sights. Then we proceeded to the 80th floor where we walked through the museum and learned that the tallest building in NYC (until the Twin Towers) was built in only 11 months and employed nearly 5000 employees during the great depression. Up to the 86th floor where we went onto the observation deck even though it was a windy and wet day with very little visibility. We left there and had a leisurely lunch before hopping on the tourist bus to head down to catch the ferry for Ellis Island. We were told that the last boat left at 6 pm. We arrived at 4:15 to learn that the last boat had left at 4 pm. I was pretty disappointed because I really wanted to visit the Island that my maternal grandmother had passed through before gaining entry into this country. Many years ago, I contributed to have a brick placed with her name upon it and I was hoping to see that as well as getting a copy of the manifest for the ship on which she arrived. I guess this just means that we have to come back again some day. We took the tour bus back and had a very nice dinner at a wine bar. And then we headed back for an early night because we need to get up at the crack of dawn. One year ago--Excited about Autumn

This paper is a strong and durable cotton/polyester blend at 340 GSM, made in Germany to the highest standards. *** Some Important Information: All Prints are sold unframed including canvas which are printed on canvas fabric only (not stretched). To be on the safe side we generally ship all orders with some additional white border to give you the option to keep it or remove it yourself. Some customers purchase prints to fit to standard frame sizes, and these frame sizes sometimes require no border, or can also require extra border to fill a mat board. We can only accommodate different frame sizes if you let us know before you order. If this is the case, please specify before you order if you would like a particular sized white border that is in addition to the listed print sizes and we will try to accommodate this for you. Without any special request you may receive a standard size border from us ranging anywhere from 3mm – 50mm (or possibly no border). Please note that all images in this listing are illustrative purposes only, and the images do not indicate the size of the border you will receive or give an accurate representation of their size related to objects in the images. The images also display the print itself as being adhered to the wall, and do not display any of the prints as being mounted, framed or stretched on wood bars. Note: the option ‘Canvas’ refers only to the fabric material that the artwork is printed on. The term ‘Canvas’ does not denote the print is stretched on wood bars or framed in any way. Note: The images found in this listing are for illustrative purpose only, and only give an approximation of how prints may appear on a wall give certain customisations. The images also only show the images as prints themselves unframed, and any resemblance to these prints being framed is unintentional and should not be taken as an indication of how prints will appear on a wall framed or unframed. Best Value Guarantee: We work hard to professionally restore artworks and images, making sure they are historically true to the original. Prints are sent rolled up in a packing tube and can expand or shrink slightly based on humidity levels. Prints sent rolled up will also require sometime to flatten out. Please use the provided gloves and be very careful after receiving the prints as they can scratch easily if you touch the printed surface. As mentioned already, please specify if you would like a particular size white border in addition to your print, otherwise you may receive no white border, or you may receive a standard size border from us ranging anywhere from 3mm – 50mm. All pictures in this listing are for illustrative purposes only and do not intend to indicate any additional services or features being sold that is not contained in this description or item specifics.

While these great benefits of homesteading may not be true for everyone, we've found them to be very true to ours. It's not a perfect life, and it's not for everyone, but it is pretty dang rad. If you ask me.
