You’re not sleeping because you gave up rock gardening.

Thanks for the greenery! We are just finishing up with our snow (I hope)… I’d be like you, banned from any further gardening “needs”. LOL

One of my buddies says that Nyquil is the best thing humanity has invented since fire. Most of the time I sleep better than that, but a cough has me rethinking it.

Just found your blog from Runner Leana. Opened eyes wide at ‘goat sacrificing rock’. Had to read more. Did. Like it. Oh, and the snake that can bite through rubber boots is big enough that it won’t care what’s on your feet.

I did a rock retaining wall, and a set of steps, but your rocks are bigger than my rocks. The patio and goat rock look great!

I don’t believe you – I think your favorite thing to do is shuffle the plates back and forth with your feet. I’m pretty sure that’s true.

Just go with the, “I’m stimulating the economy” excuse. It’s our patriotic duty to do so.

That’s a lot of mulch.

can’t you hide stuff? i have to hide my addictions from the Manboy. i pretend he doesn’t know about my problems and he pretends he doesn’t know, so we are very happy. you just need to get that stuff home and in the back without his knowing. he’ll just go out one day and say, “hey, we have a pretty sacrificial area. go by shoes for the occasion.”

Funny, funny, funny. Our nurseries toward the end of the season acution plants and trees off. I bought over 25 tress (from 2 foot pines to 15 foot willlow, ash) for only $400. Landscaping is a beast. Good luck with the vinyard.

My husband has the same kind of can’t-stay-asleep insomnia. He wanted to buy a Sleep Number bed, but I suggested that before we spend $3K, that he might want to try some simple things. First attempt at a solution: a board to put under his side of the mattress, and the jury is still out on that one.

Ultimately, I think it’s less about sleep and more of a stress issue … I hope you find a good solution!

I’ll buy a bottle once your vineyard is in full production. But it has to have a very pretty label. And, do snakes poop? I just thought of that…maybe because I too am reading blogs at 2:30 a.m.!

There’ll be a shortage of pinot noir grapes in 2015.

Have you tried this? It looks fantastic on TV! Other home remedies – don’t drink any coffee, tea, cola etc within 5 hours of going to sleep. Have a quiet room – no TV, lap top or other exciting stuff.
