My First Asparagus

Posted on March 30, 2010 by Brian Gallimore

I noticed a lone “stick” this morning when I left for work. It is my first asparagus shoot and it is about 10 inches tall already.

Bryson’s Motorcycle

Posted on March 28, 2010 by Brian Gallimore

Gran and Grandad bought Bryson a tricycle “motorcycle” for his birthday. He was VERY impressed with all the flashing lights, sounds, knobs, buttons and controls on it!

Turning Green

Posted on March 28, 2010 by Brian Gallimore

Most of my brand-new trees are starting to show signs of life already. I’m very excited to see them put out their first leaves. I’ve held off on planting my warm-weather crops because I’m planning on a late freeze since we have had so much cold weather this winter. See the descriptions under the pictures for more information.

I poked this stick off our 'dead' Magnoilia tree in the ground, it is coming back to life!

Bryson’s Third Birthday

Posted on March 26, 2010 by Brian Gallimore

Bryson blew out his 3 candles tonight. We did the ceremony twice because he was so excited he blew out the candles early the first time. My crazy singing didn’t help, and it was very funny to see him bobbing up and down with anticipation of eating HIS cake. What a fun time!

I do not like it Uncle Sam…

Posted on March 25, 2010 by Brian Gallimore

I do not like it Uncle Sam,
I do not like it Sam I am.
I do not like these dirty crooks,
Neither how they cook the books.
I do not like when Congress steals,
I do not like their secret deals.
I do not like this Speaker Nan,
I do not like this ‘YES WE CAN!’.
I do not like this kind of hope,
I do not like it, nope! nope!…… nope!
If you don’t like this gov’ment bloat,
then pray to God, and people: VOTE!!!

Video: Dasher Crazy in Snow

Posted on March 21, 2010 by Brian Gallimore

I always think it is funny when Dasher goes on one of his full-speed running rants in the backyard. The snow on the ground makes it better!

Snow on Spring Day 2

Posted on March 21, 2010 by Brian Gallimore

This is the weekend many folks plant their warm weather vegetable crops, but we’ve been overloaded with SNOW! Bryson won us over and convinced us to go outside and play. Notice the picture of the white blooms on the fruit tree covered with snow.

Bryson’s Big Boy Bed

Posted on March 20, 2010 by Brian Gallimore

We figured after almost 3 years it was time that Bryson graduated to a bed without bars, so today we converted his bed to a full size. He was pretty excited about it, and I started feeling nostalgic when we ran across his tiny mattress he first slept on, so I took a few comparison pictures.
