Adventures with Awstats

August 17, 2003

Lisa has been wanting better stats than webalizer for a while now, and heard about awstats in a thread on The Usual Suspects. We looked it over, and it does seem to be better. Lisa’s biggest like is that all the links on the ‘full list’ expansion page are live, whereas the expansion pages for [...]

Taking a break

August 16, 2003

Whew, it’s hot out there. I am not, however, complaining. We’ve had so much rain (almost 8 inches so far this month alone) that I haven’t been able to really do much in the garden, so I’ll take hot over hot and raining any day. We went out into the garden pretty early this morning, [...]

More plants, and planting

August 14, 2003

We went to the grand opening of a Home Depot in Keene last night. Their nursery isn’t great, but we did get some good deals. We were a bit disappointed in how many zone six and seven plants we saw. Keene might be zone 5, but most of the hill towns around Keene are definitely [...]

Today It’s the Tiger Lilies

August 9, 2003

The stargazers continue gorgeous, and now the tiger lilies are out too. At least the ones in the garden. The ones in the wood need a few more days. We went out for a drive, and this seems to be the year of the tiger lily. They’re everywhere. Every garden over 50 years old has [...]

The Stargazers Arrive

August 8, 2003

It has been a terribly rainy week. I managed to get the lawn mowed yesterday, then it rained all night. The stargazer lilies are open, and gorgeous. Unfortunately, some of them seem quite short, even though we composted them last August. I’m hoping that compost this spring and fall will get them back on the [...]

A break in the rain

August 4, 2003

We had heavy, heavy rain most of the day today. I remain quite surprised at how well all the flowers are holding up, because the rain has been so hard that I expect to look out and see all the flower stalks lying on the ground, but so far, so good. The hollyhocks are blooming [...]
