So What is There Left to Say

By clyde | Published: April 16, 2010
Now that I’m linked to our main site, I suppose that I should be blogging.  After instigating others that blog so well, I feel literically challenged (and can prove it!)

More testing, plus a dog story.

By clyde | Published: March 15, 2010
Mainly wanted to see that the sticky above (hopefully) stayed stuck. I purposely left a title off of that post to see how it would look. Looks like WP put a border around it to make it stand out. Pretty cool. Now the dog story…. of course I’ve been up all night again (blame it [...]

By clyde | Published: April 28, 2008
Looks like a misspelling, but it’s my name for a grape found growing here at Peaceful Bend. This guy seems to just want to be wine. It is a volunteer vine located near our crush pad. Most years, the majority of it’s crop makes it through to harvest, without any intervention whatsoever. This alone makes [...]
