Fall Fertilizer
And no I’m not talking about elections. Although, it would solve many a farmers problems if you could bottle what the politicians say around this time of year. But I digress IFA Fertilizer is the best deal around. Don’t forget this really is the time to prep your lawn for a great next year.

Anyone Want a Used Dog CHEAP??
Stupid, stupid dog. We had out of town guests this weekend, and Mudi always makes a right old pest of herself. Banging a the door that they are staying and wanting to play at 3 in the morning she is just a royal pain. So I decided to put her outside; bark, bark bark, right […]
