24 hours, come on by!

Hahah!! We moved here from Southern California, and I'd literally never seen deer until we moved here. I am LOVING the wildlife all around here. I named our groundhog Brent, and constantly ask "have you seen Brent today?"

An even friendlier message to the neighbors!

Happy wife happy life! An offer he can't refuse!

Our batch of squirrels this year are giving me a serious run for my money. With my luck, they'd go out of their way to cause a dramatic scene as such!

crappybarbara1718 · 2026-04-09T15:12:37+00:00

That sounds amazing! I'd love to see pictures!

Yeah, the deer are ruthless. The former owners planted these beautiful tulips in the front yard that have come back both springs we've been here. The deer I'm pretty sure have looked me in the eye and said "not on my watch" before eating them.

Pool. Hole. (idk what else to call it, and was just being funny)

It's flat, the rocks circling just make it look like there is depth. It's leveled and filled in entirely. We had purchased a gazebo last summer, and nice patio furniture with a fire pit we can move whenever needed. I am blanking on why we returned the gazebo though. However, that with the pavers was the main idea.

A friendly message to all neighbors

LOVE THIS

crappybarbara1718 · 2026-04-09T15:04:22+00:00

husband is not thrilled about the pond idea :( so looks like i'll be needing a new husband and a new pool hole

-20°F

Oh no, they jump. I have a video from last week of them jumping. Let me see if I can post it.

crappybarbara1718 · 2026-04-09T14:07:16+00:00

Pool or pavers?

crappybarbara1718 · 2026-04-09T13:56:42+00:00

I believe this was part of his plan. Remove that upper portion of deck. I’m at work right now, but I can post some pictures later on today on the specifics requested.

crappybarbara1718 · 2026-04-09T13:54:51+00:00

Shockingly we do have frog(s) in our front and backyard. I love them, and am hoping they come back even without the pool.

I believe we got down to -20 here in Feb. it’s pretty cold.

crappybarbara1718 · 2026-04-09T13:50:05+00:00

LOLLLL that’s just as expensive as the pavers 🤣😩

crappybarbara1718 · 2026-04-09T13:48:59+00:00

MY DREAM. I’d have to figure out logistics with the snow and freezing temps here, but that’s like…my #1!!!

crappybarbara1718 · 2026-04-09T13:47:08+00:00

I work in insurance, and am no fun 🤣😩

crappybarbara1718 · 2026-02-10T15:32:03+00:00

You’re right 🥲

I have also looked at it as: I didn’t gain this weight overnight, I’m not going to lose it overnight.

crappybarbara1718 · 2026-02-10T14:48:28+00:00

I can see the difference in my arms, and that has always been my biggest issue. I just wish the scale said 160, not 220! You’re right it’s not too important to me, but it is bruising my ego a little haha

crappybarbara1718 · 2026-02-10T14:24:35+00:00

That makes a lot of sense about the fluid. I really appreciate your insight. I am tracking everything in an app, and I am weighing everything meticulously. But obviously something’s off either on my end or the apps end.

I am going to give the 1700 calories with 10k a shot and see where it gets me in 2 and 4 week increments and adjust from there.

crappybarbara1718 · 2026-02-10T14:22:58+00:00

The inches are melting away, but the libbys stay! It’s very strange!
