Hey, Greg! So far, you're the sole male vlogger on "I See What You're Saying." Kudos! It sure looks lovely where you are, and yes, I wondered what the noise was behind you. You are very spunky, and I get a kick out of your posts, for sure. And who doesn't love a little Shakespeare?! (Former English major here). Thanks again. Have fun blog hopping and checking out all the "babes!"

Hey Greg! I love your yard...it looks like the Garden of Eden! Beautiful!

I am so used to the shotgun fires in the background...grew up in South Texas. Deer hunting capital of the Great State. I only marvelled at how many there were one right after the other!

Oh, and the Southern accent with the Shakespearean language...priceless. :-)

Wonderful video! I loved the shotgun sounds in the background, the beautiful scenery, and the poetry reading.

Loved your video and then I read back a few posts and just laughed myself silly. I'll be back!
Why are there so few men blogging?

Loved the gunshots; they added that something extra.

Oh my!!! LOL - Those gunshots sound a little too close for comfort!!

OMG James Earl Jones, Greg you are a hoot. Yes, I heard the shotguns and felt right at home...it's something we hear a lot of too...the hunters just ignore our posted signs and go right along on...I wear my yellow cop slicker when walking in the woods for that very reason...I want them to see me and that there are no antlers on my head! You don't have much of a Southern accent...I mean you can cut mine with a knife...it's always nice to hear the voices of the people we meet out here, isn't it? I did a video a few posts back and may try it again myself!

Greg you did great! You totally looked at ease in front of that camera!

Not nearly dorky enough... ;)

Your yard looks beautiful! And I loved the shot guns in the background :)

At first I was getting edgy wondering if someone was going to shoot you from behind while you were sitting there all cozy and nice...and then I realized, that's not gonna happen because...YOU'RE NOT IN MIAMI! :)

This was my favorite video of you, btw, and not just because you have the ability to sound like James Earl Jones, but because you were very natural and relaxed in a relaxed setting (minus the gunshots, of course). ;)

I blog for the same reasons you do and I always leave comments. See?? ;)

Greg, it was great to see your video, it feels like I know you a little bit more. Your yard is beautiful and the gunshots...you're killing me! Fantastic video - this one was the charm

Hi Greg, So nice to meet you. Saturday is opening day for bird season and the pond behind our house is a favored spot so I know all about the country noises. I'll be back. I am totally interested in gardening, but watering is my favorite part of the process. LOL.
Thanks for stopping by my blog!

You are too funny...LOL!! Loved your post, and by the way, the gun shots are a common thing around our house, and my son is usually giving Bambi a run for her money!

When you pulled out the book of poetry, I was saying "good Goverment, this isn't going to be pretty" But laughed myself silly!

Ya know, if that deer comes limping into your yard, you'd have supper for a long time. :) Love your deck, and especially your reading! :) Great post.

The target practice in the background made it sound like you could be next door to me! Very funny! You couldn't have timed them better!

Thanks for stopping by and commenting at my blog.

When you commented on my blog you said, "I am not that creative." I thought your reading was very creative.

I really enjoyed seeing you!

Thanks for stopping by my little cyberhome! I appreciate the sweet comments and the encouragement. Loved the James Earl Jones! You seem to be a natural in front of the camera..much more so than I! It was great to meet you!

Blessings!

Great job, Greg! I'm pretty sure this is the only post that has shots ringing out in the background! I also appreciated a man getting on board...and your wonderful James Earl Jones reading. :)

I'm pretty sure this is the first time I've visited your blog, but I will be back! :)

Great video - the unplanned gunfire in the background added humor of its own!

Dropped by by way of 2nd cup and have now added you to my favorites. I love the prior posts. Your "10" and "chlorine" had me laughing and I couldn't agree with you more about not, not voting.

That was GREAT! I used to go hunting with my dad (pheasant and turkey) so I got a kick out of the shot gun sounds in the background. I'm also really excited to learn more about taking care of plants since we got a whole bunch with our patio. The James Earl Jones reading was a hoot! You know, if you added the Darth Vader breathing (he does Darth Vader's voice) it would sound like Vader reading Shakespeare, cool!

Anyway, thank you so much for sharing, and I'll have to keep coming by here to see if you post about plants. Have a great afternoon!

I felt right at home with that video! Nice job! I'm a little jealous of the land and the shotgun noises, I must admit! Add a little smell of pigs running around and you got yourself a pretty great atmosphere!

I'll be adding your blog to my google reader. I don't have nearly enough male bloggers to follow! You're number three!!!

Nice meeting you.

That was the best James Earl Jones/Shakespeare impression ever!

Is that a banana tree?

There always seem to be more visitors than commenters. Maybe some folks just don't know what to say.

PS I also visited your son's garden blog.

I think that you were the only guy to participate in this event! I am so glad you did. I scrolled down your blog and loved your 10 clues we might be in a financial crisis....really great!

I also love to garden...vegetable garden that is. But since moving to AR, I don't have any yard space to do it...I miss it a lot and so does my family!!!

Well this was just a bunch of fun sitting on your porch and listening to you share you life. I try always to comment when I come buy, cause I think you have a great blog, and enjoy all your posts and your unique sense of humor.

You're looking good, how much weight have you lost??

Till next time ~~ Wanda

HI Greg,
Great job on the video. I have never read your blog before, but I will now add it to my list. Thanks for explaining the gun shots. Yes, I would have to say you are more rural that I am here in NJ! But if gunshots are what makes in rural, what does that say about Newark? :)

Greg, as you started talking and those gun shots were going off, I was like "What the heck?" I thought something was wrong with the audio...then the shots were more frequent and you mentioned that someone was hunting and I lost it!! Too Funny!!! I loved your story telling voice. Your yard is beautiful!

Hey Grandpa, What's for Supper

Were havin fried chicken so crisp and hot, With tatters and gravy make sure and take a lot. There’s green beans and fatback and biscuits with butter, And cold cold milk, straight from the udder. And fer desert, get ya some pie, There’s sweet tater, apple and of course yer favorite shoo-fly. YUMMMM YUMMMMM Hee Haw was one of my father’s favorite shows. He loved it for the ummmmmmm music. Or so he said. This morning, I was thinking about what to have for supper. A couple of things came to mind. First there was some chicken in the refrigerator but I remembered Salmonella and decided not to fix that. I bought a beef roast yesterday but now I am having second thoughts because of possible Mad Cow Disease. I could always make a salad but we might get e-coli from the lettuce. Ok the only thing left is water but with all the mercury and arsenic in water these days, maybe I will just sit quietly and breathe. I just hope there isn’t a smog alert. Then I thought why not just go out for dinner. The

Pictures from Wadmalaw Island. Martins Point plantation as it stands today. (site of "The Notebook") Bohicket Creek. Shrimp boat at Rockville. If you are coming here from the "Time" article, please feel free to look around. I didn't find out until today that they used a link to my blog. Welcome. Very quickly, My wife and I got married at this plantation. It is right around the corner from where we live now so if you have any questions about it, feel free to email me and ask. In a few days, I will post some more photos of the house. I wrote an interesting story about the plantation as my last post. Check it out by clicking here . Thanks to my son, Gregory for taking the pictures. He is making a power point presentation for Irving House Winery. You can see it if you come for a wine tasting.

The legend of Flat Stanley (A Horror Story)

Image
There are a few things in life that upset me: Spiders, rude people, unruly children and spilling my coffee to name a few. But nothing gets my blood boiling faster than hearing the name Flat Stanley. On the surface, Stanley sounds like something innocent, but I am here to tell you that he is evil and has the power to tear your family apart. Flat Stanley was the brain child Dale Hubert, a third grade teacher from Ontario Canada. Back in 1995, he decided to start this project to inflict pain on unsuspecting parents and students as well. The concept is simple: You take a picture of Flat Stanley and decorate it. Then you cut it out and there you have it….Flat Stanley. Then you send it to other people and they take stupid photos of them with Stanley or you take him on vacation with you in order to ruin your vacation and Dale should be shot or better yet put in a pot of boiling oil and slowly fried and tortured and and and Ha Ha….Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha….Whahahahahahahahaha Sorry this happens every ti
