For the handful of you folks that still drop by you have to have noticed the profound drop in posts.

Jeff and I decided to take a little break from the site as our visitors were doing the same. Ultimately, what’s going to happen is we’re shifting over to content largely about Halloween.

Come spring expect something on growing pumpkins. And all through the summer we’ll have stuff on making costumes and scaring your neighbors.

Tune in next time for a little instruction. But just a little.
