A bunch of us guys were talking the other day, and somehow the subject of fishing came up. Someone commented that they would like to do more fishing, but they didn’t have a boat. That reminded me of a time when I didn’t have a boat either, but over the years I was able to
A string of bad hair days usually sends me straight to the barber’s chair. When my unruly locks grow past a certain point, I know it’s time for a good pruning, as it were. The same holds true for many of the flowering shrubs in my garden. A good percentage of blooming shrubs used in
