A bilingual blog for a binational family.
It’s been awhile since we gave you all a garden update. Soon we will also write an update on the landscape and the flowerbed, but for now this is what we have going on in the veggie garden: Hace tiempo que no actualizamos a todos en como va la huerta. Pronto tambien haremos una actualizacion […]
My sweet little niece Gia is due to arrive in August, which means we’re only a few months away from meeting the first McClure grandbaby! I’m so excited for Ian and Andrea and I can’t wait to see them as parents – I know they are going to be amazing. This weekend my mom, gma […]
Since we started our garden we have been looking for ways to use resources that we normally just discard. We installed a rain barrel, which has provided most of the water for our plants and vegetable garden. We also started a compost bin, and it has been more of a challenge than expected. The idea […]
Wooooooo we have a picnic table! Since we moved in 2 years ago I’ve been toting a folding card table between the front porch (where it belongs) and the backyard (where I occasionally like to work) and now I can be as lazy as I damn well please because we bought a wood picnic table! […]
We had the best weather yet this year this past weekend – it was beautiful! On Saturday Javi and I decided to take advantage of the warm temps and cool breeze with a trip east near Cookeville to do some hiking with the doggos. It was a perfect day – sunny but not too hot […]

This was our first show as Hickory Slims but, as I’ve said previously about this group, we used to play together under the name Angus Whyte and the Irish Rednecks. We actually played at the Family Wash a couple times as AW&IR – below […]
The new beds are up and ready and the old beds are “refreshed” and ready too! Setting up everything required some work but we believe it will pay off in the long run with TONS of veggies. The 2 old beds had left over dirt from last year and the new ones were completely empty […]
I don’t know about you but somewhere along the way we failed to teach our dogs to garden. I am sure they would be great at digging holes for planting, but I doubt they would dig exactly where I need them to. So in order to avoid any problems with the raised beds in the […]
We’re only a few days into the new year and we already have a ton of updates, including a trip to Chicago, to post on here but first we need to bid an overdue and very fond farewell to 2012! Javi and I had a pretty spectacular 2012, so we figured we should give the year its […]
When we moved into our house, we quickly learned from the neighbors that the previous owner had the most beautiful yard in the street (key word HAD). We had never taken care of a yard before, so the idea of keeping up with it was a little daunting. We had other priorities in mind: fence, […]
