I was at my friends house in his backyard and noticed his lawn looked really nice like golf course grass. I mean like plush green carpet. So I asked him what was the trick to this kind of lawn? He tells me steady watering and consistent coverage of all the irrigation zones around my lawn. As you may know all irrigation systems are run by a pump that pushes all the water going on your lawn.

Here ia an uplifiting Christmas story, perfect for kids 6-10, about the origins of the Christmas candy cane.

Set in a small town candy shoppe, the story uses the candy as a fantastical metaphor about the story of Jesus. 

I read it to my daughter the first time and now she has read it on her own several times. I am certain that it will remain on her nightstand for the entire holiday season. And, she has a whole new outlook on the minty treats

The illustrations are also quite nice and remind me of Rockwell.

This version is for the Kindle and downloads quickly.

The best new holiday tradition in the last 50 years!

The Elf On The Shelf has been a holiday favorite among my boys (now 7 and 10) for the past number of years.

It has become a family tradition, and my wife and I couldn't be happier.

If you've ever wanted a smartphone that looks like a cell phone and works like a traditional cell phone but with none of the gusto and glory of a modern smartphone then look no futher because the blackberry pearl is all that and less.

My trusty old hand-me-down Pfleuger 6wt. 2 piece rod had just experienced the one thing no flyfisherman ever wants to witness - the tip got caught in a car door and had snapped cleanly off.  Because of this, and an impending Wyoming trout trip, I decided it was time to consider a serious upgrade, although I didn't want to break the bank.
