Cool garden hose storage

I saw a cool garden hose storage unit that I want to buy for our place.  Actually, I want to buy two of them; one for the front yard, and one for the back yard!  What am I talking about?  A no-crank garden hose reel!  These things wind up a garden hose using water pressure!  So you don’t have to crank it by hand!  How cool is that? You can find more information (and order them) from the website http://no-crank.com.  Especially interesting is that the company is currently offering a No-Crank Rewards Program that you can sign up for.  The rewards program involves having your friends that buy one take enter the serial number of their unit into an account on the internet.  You get points and rewards and discounts as a result.  

 

New peach trees

Filed under: Garden, General Living, Home Improvement — Copa @ 9:10 am

I was out grocery shopping the other day, my wife and I came upon some peach trees.  She thought they were really sharp, and so did I.  Well, the next day I went back there and bought two of them.  It took me three days to decide where to plant them!  I finally decided to plant them down by the road, one on each side of the driveway, so they could cross pollinate.  They really added a lot to the dooryard!  I hope they bear fruit, because I like peaches.

Got a birth announcement in today’s mail

My cousin just sent me a photo birth announcement from Doodlebug Dezings to announce the birth of her daughter.  I was wondering when she was going to get around to sending them out; the baby is almost six months old already!  I think that sending photo birth announcements is a really nice way to let people know that your baby has arrived while showing off just how adorable the baby is!  I just think that the announcement should be sent out a lot sooner!
