One of my agave plants wilted and died from a Weevil (a type of beetle from the Curculionoidea superfamily) infestation. Below is my story of how I discovered that Weevils had caused my Agave to droop, yellow, decay at the base, and subsequently die. I also explain how I protect and prevent my other Agave plants from […]
I have a couple breakfasts that I like to cook. On Saturdays, I often whip up a batch of Banana Oatmeal Pancakes. They are quick and easy to make, and they give me a great energy boost to do a Saturday morning's bit of work around the house or in the yard. I've never been […]

We took our nearly 3 year old son to see Santa for the first time today. Still flinching from the barrage of physical and emotional attacks my son laid on me while waiting in line for over an hour at Disney Land to see Mickey Mouse, I decided to try Town Square's Santa because they […]
