Kentucky Dawn (89/365)

This is what the start of a sunrise in Kentucky in March looks like.  I wanted to get the sun peeking over the trees, but I was already late for work.  Maybe next time!

Easter is on it's way!  And spring is definitely here.  Being allergic to every single type of Kentucky tree pollen, my allergies have let me know that everything is in bloom at once around here.  I've been sneezing, wheezing, coughing and wiping watery eyes for a few days now.  Claritin and Benedryl are my two best buds right now.

Friends & TiVo Repairs

Project 365: 86/365

Saturday was such a nice day we decided to have an impromptu cookout with a few friends.  Charlie & Christina came over with their dogs Molly and Scrappy.  And John & Jenn also came out for some good food.  After everyone ate we headed back up to the house to watch the Cats play (and lose).  It was a fun evening!

Our TiVo hard drive has been clacking for a while so we knew it was going bad.  We didn't realize how bad until we were watching the game, which feeds through the TiVo via live television, and the signal kept breaking up.  So Jason decided to swap out the hard drive in it today.  He's not had much luck and isn't sure what's wrong.  So for the time being we've moved a spare TiVo downstairs with a smaller hard drive until he can get the larger one straightened out.

Barns & Dogs

Project 365: 85/365

Yesterday we went to view a couple of properties we were interested in.  This was the one we were really hoping would work out, but in the end result it didn't.  The cleared 6 acres was ok, the barn was great and the pond was awesome.  But the remaining 11 acres of woods was horrible and unusable.  They were a huge drop down to the creek below.  If it was gently rolling it would have been perfect, but it was almost cliff like, so we had to pass on it.  We looked at another one but it appeared that it had already been purchased even though it was still listed.  The sign was gone and some work was being done, though I don't think we would have been happy with that one either.  So the search continues!

And this is just a goofy photo of Lois.  We wanted to see what she would do if we sat her in a box.  She just sat there and looked at us like "what are you doing?".  Fun with dogs!

Rainy Days, Lazy Dogs

Project 365: 80/365

I always have to fight the beast to get a spot on the couch.  If I resort to the armchair, he decides he's a lap dog...and then I can't see the tv.

When the big dog toys are too big to fit in your mouth, just sleep on them.

In regular, non-dog news, we found another piece of property that looks *really* nice and perfectly what we're looking for, in theory.  We'll find out on Friday when we go check it out to see if it's all it appears to be.  It's in Taylorsville, so not too far from Louisville and in a beautiful area of the state, very close to Taylorsville Lake.  It's 18.5 acres and already has a structurally sound tobacco barn on it, which would be awesome for storage.  The front 6 acres are cleared and the rest is all nice, lush woods with a gentle drop-off perfect for building out a walk-out ranch (so we were told).  We're trying not to get our hopes up too much, but if this really is all it's described to be, we'll be making a purchase real soon and our 6 acres at Dog Woods will be put up for sale.  More updates on Friday!

Yellow Tulips - (79/365)

My mom and grandma came by the other day and Grandma brought me some beautiful yellow tulips to plant in the flower beds.  The weather has been so beautiful that we've spent a lot of the last couple of days outside - great weather to end my 10 day stint at home.

We're on the property hunt again.  We're looking for our final destination piece of land - preferably 20 acres or more, which we will build on.  We looked at 28 acres and 26 acres yesterday, but did not like the way the land had very large drop-offs, making it mostly unusable.  We have a few more we've inquired on, including a 65 acre piece that sounds too good to be true, so it probably is.  Hopefully soon I'll be showing photos of our new property!
