Yes not exactly about pond building but it all works out in the end or at least the end of the tailgate. For years I drove a 1 ton dump 4×4 dump, awesome truck for plowing snow and the ability to dump a load every now and then. The drawback was the $196 registration fee [...]
Invasive species or fast spreader. Sometimes they do get confused because of the nature of the growth rate. Here’s the deal …at least how I want to explain it. Invasive species can be a plant or animal that does not naturally live in your location. But once they do they can take over and push [...]
With the Holiday right around the corner I wanted to share a short video about a little bird trying to be Independent. Even though we struggle in life we struggled as a country to become Independent and this little guy in the video just kept it up. This was so fun to watch and he [...]
