the lawn is growing
literally and … literally. upwards and outwards. as i previously posted about in leveling off, i’ve been working on the backyard. it was previously a puddle in a drainage area from our woods, and not really much of a yard. (we have a large front yard, except it’s at a 25-30 degree angle).
anyway, i dug up a photo of that area from the ice storm, very watery:
and immediately after i dug everything out and filled it in with good soil:
and now, it (and most of the area around it) has been fertilized and seeded (and watered):
this weird substance… it almost looks like… grass!
Greg chillin
Greg is just chillin.
just a reminder
Red Sox opening day is April 1st. no foolin’!
shy greg
while he’s been doing a lot of smiling, sometimes we catch him being shy.
a minor update
doesn’t really even qualify for a 9.1 release, but a note. this new design has meant a lot of images going away, since i’m currently only showing the full post for the first item, and the post excerpt for all subsequent items. i’m fixing that.
structure 1
J built this Mega Blok structure this morning.
version nine point-o
this is the ninth major iteration for the design of my site, and it’s quite a doozy. i’ve been working on it a bit at a time for weeks now, finally at a point where it matches my vision so I made it public. i had a few goals in mind when I started this [...]

meet Greg!
please help us welcome into this world Gregory Michael Susz. he was born at 9:54pm on 10/17/10, at 41 weeks gestation (1 week overdue). we brought him home today and everyone’s getting settled in. at birth he was 6 pounds, 14 ounces and 21 ½” long. and he’s cute. hair! heading home!
leveling off
things at home are still crazy, anticipating the arrival of Lincoln Mercury (that will not be his real name). but i have been able to block out some time to work on projects here and there. one that i’ve been really wanting to get done is to take care of the low spot in back [...]
climbing the ladder
no, i didn’t get a promotion at work (the boss doesn’t like me). but Julie still loves the ladder. i dragged it out to clean the arch window in the great room, and within 60 seconds of setting it up – here we go!
an afternoon in the forest
anyone who’s been to our house will know that about 60% of our lot is trees. a fairly thick forest, with a lot of scrub, underbrush, and deadfall – the result of a long period of absolutely no forestry management or maintenance. plus, a lot of the downed trees and limbs are due to the [...]
