This whole tree farming thing is dandy, the first quarter mile uphill.
Yeah, baby. I am dazzling in my flannel.
Another look at the hothouse.
The big jug at the bottom of the photo is full of water. The jugs are painted black and stacked around the interior. This helps the building retain heat.

Hubba,hubba! You hair looks great!
So what are you doing with the tree?
Cutting it down and dragging it up the frickin’ hill to make it into a Christmas tree.
The whole dragging thing is easy for a few minutes. Then it is not so easy.
My hair only looks good in that pic, because it is a mess, and that is why I am covering it with a hat.
Oh, who am I kidding, I almost always wear that hat.
I can tell you totally dig my red flannel. Yes you do.
see, I love stuff like this.
I just watched poor Scott Sava get dogpiled on his own blog for *gasp* daring to put the blog above the comic page. For one day. And forcing people to click on a thumbnail! The cad! The sheer number of comments that were basically “who cares about you, make with the comic already” was mindboggling, and depressing.
Seriously. What is wrong with people? You’re providing free entertainment on your blog, so you’re not allowed to write about yourself, or delay the gratification half an instant? It’s not like the readers have to pay per click or anything. What part of FREE COMIX EVERY DAY is not making sense to people?
In short, don’t stop posting cool stuff that you do other than the comic. Seriously. Even if it doesn’t generate as much traffic as, say, Bad Publisher stuff. It’s always cool to see the people behind the product.
I’d post the same thing over at TDC but I’m all out of shirts with targets on them, at least till laundry day :-/
I can tell you totally dig my red flannel. Yes you do.
When you cut down trees, do you skip and jump? Do you like to press wild flowers?
Arlnee: OMG!!!! I had not seen that! Holy cow, how RUDE! Man, this guy has been working his butt off, producing a comic all these people can read for free, and WHOA! Feel the HATE!
MAN that was nasty.
Scott Sava is one of the nicest people in comics, that was just too awful!
And frankly, a significant percentage of people come to read my blog. In fact, for the first eight months of this webcomic, almost all traffic was blog related. I’ve spent a lot of time writing articles to help other creators, and I can see by my stat counter that thousands of people have made use of them.
The VERY BAD PUBLISHER posts have had over 25,000 reads.
I am so lucky on this blog. Maybe it’s the type of readers I attract, but I really don’t get much of that treatment from fans.
I can’t think of anyone less deserving of meanness than Scott Sava.
@Bill. I want to be a girly. Just like my dear Mama.
“I can tell you totally dig my red flannel. Yes you do.”
You read me like a book.
I love all the green in the picture.
I will be thinking of it when we get blanketed with snow this weekend.
The blanketing beginneth! We have ten inches so far. I will post pics!
It’s going to be a White Christmas!
We only got six inches. I got half my driveway shoveled when my shovel broke.
Arrgh!
Since I wrecked my four wheel drive two weeks ago, I m housebound until the snow melts.
I think the winter gods are not in my corner.
The snow is about 2.5 feet now. I will post pictures. It’s awesome!
(looks out window, checks thermometer. 65 and sunny.)
*sigh*
