Good morning all! I have cranberry chutney cooling in the kitchen, and have done some house tidying. What really made me feel good was seeing, in...
You gotta love the Aussies. They are so direct and know how to handle difficult situations!
A camera might help if the thief comes back and doesn't steal the camera. Here in Texas we find a double barreled shotgun works well. You don't...
Mike, do report the theft, and who you think is responsible. Who would steal a wheelbarrow? Only someone who thought they could sell it, or...
Daniel, I know what it is like to lose a hen. Ours are elderly, and going out to the coop every morning and evening we steel ourselves for the...
We had a bit of a downpour this morning, brief but heavy, so no weeding the garlic bed. We had three more tomatoes ripen in the laundry room, and...
Sjoerd, I won't take offense if you call that cat a "pest" if you aren't offended when I call some children "pests." We all have our crosses to...

Not only does my mind wander a bit, sometimes it walks off completely.
Tetters, we are not talented, but my husband is. I must say that you with your lovely flowerbeds, and Zigs with his masonry skills, are vastly...
We got the predicted frost last night, but all the tender herbs were sheltered, as well as the cats. This Sunday has been sunny, but chilly. We...
We decorated our tree this morning--we love getting out the old ornaments, some of which we have had for 50 years, and reminiscing about where we...
Netty, thank you for the reassurance about perceived scaremongering. I thought I was being a bit over the top. We do watch the news--PBS Newshour...

We got our Christmas tree today--a Frasier Fir that is so fragrant and so nicely shaped. It is inside in its stand, drinking and relaxing and will...
