The Insect Repellent" formerly known" as Buzz Off

We have recently been informed by the lawyers for S.C.Johnson & Son, Inc. that they own the name "bugzoff" and "bugoff", and all variations thereof: and have respectfully asked us to cease using it. We have complied and NOW have to come up with a new name for our product.

Here is the Challenge!! Suggest an alternative name for our insect repellent products. If your suggestion is used then we will give you a $25 gift certificate to be used on our website or in our shop! (If more than one of you VERY creative folks suggests the same name, then we will give the credit to the first person who suggests it).

I have been trying for months to come up with a name that suggests swarms of insects fleeing in mortal terror, and have come up with...nada. So put on your thinking caps and please submit your suggestion by April 15th.

It Smells Like Spring

What a bright clear day we had. With temperatures in the low 50's you can see the snow mountains getting smaller by the day! While we have a glorious crop of mud, the air smells like SPRING!

I took a walk about the yard and gardens today. If you concentrate very hard & squint, this is what you see! However, when your vision clears and you look down, the center photo tells the true tale. But I know Spring is on the way, cause I CAN SMELL IT!!!

A little snow...

For all that the Southern States & sections of NY ( NYC. & LI) have had lots of snow this season, we havent had much up here in "our neck of the woods"
The back to back storms last week & into the weekend gave us all a "wake up call" about the power & fury of Mother Nature!
All the things that worry us became unimportant as we shifted into : Stay Warm, Stay Dry, and whats on the pantry shelves that we can eat? ( And how do we move 2 feet of snow)
We melted snow in canning pots to have enough water for the animals to drink.
No one complained about what was served for meals.
Everyone worked together to shovel out livestock, cars, and narrow paths to take us where we had to go.
Layers became our new fashion statement.
We huddled together in a nest of quilts and told stories till it was time to go to bed.
Neighbors helped neighbors with shovels, snowblowers, front end loaders and whatever they had.
And without the distractions of TV, internet, phone, and the endless list of "have to do's", we all worked together to stay safe. I was almost sorry when the power came back on.
I hope everyone stayed safe & warm!

Off to New Hampshire

I'm headed up to the North Country for a few days to spiffy up the house. My tenents left me rather unexpectedly and I have to clean, redo floors, and get everything ready for the real estate agent to show to perspective renters.

As much as this trip was unexpected, I'm looking forward to spending a few days away. I'll have the rest of the" New Hampshire Mystery" for you all soon!
