We are finally out of the deep freeze--45 degrees right now, and predicted to go up to mid-50's this afternoon. I got to put the wash on the...
Mart, no our numbers are not the same as last year's--we have the same number of species, but fewer specimens of each (except for the Red wing...
We got above freezing today, but not by much. I took warm water out for the wild birds, brought the other water station in to thaw, and by the...
Yes Hank, my dear husband is the photographer in the family. I can barely turn the camera on, much less take photos. It's complicated with...
Toni, I appreciate your efforts (especially if they are successful!). We are officially above freezing now at 12:48 p.m. The thermometer is...
It's downright frigid out there, but the birds don't seem to mind. We've had a Yellowlegs and a Common Snipe appear at the pond, and a...
Good heavens, it is 16 degrees out there--brrrrrrrrr! We had a heat band on the chickens' waterer and heat lamps on in both coops, but I was...
Thank you all for the kind words--my husband is over the moon about having his photo chosen. There will be no holding him now!
Hank, that's lovely, and oh so true. I've met a few biscuits in my life.
A very Happy Birthday to you! Enjoy your day, and let us know how you celebrated.
A little oil and we can get rid of that annoying "squeak".
Venus, your wish came true--the owl returned the next day. We were going out at dusk to bring in the chickens, and there he was, in his favorite...
If those kittens are speaking to you, adopt them. I'm so sorry you lost your dog, but the kittens will help you heal. About living with...
My stars, those dishes are gorgeous! I love pottery, potters, and anyone who works with clay. I've never seen anything like your dishes, so I'm so...
The compost mix should be damp. We water our compost bins because we are in Texas (water challenged) and you may not need to water your compost in...
Sjoerd, I don't think owls migrate, at least not Great Horned Owls. I looked him up in our bird books, and owls change hunting territory, but...
Welcome from a small (semi-organic) farm in central Texas! Please let us know where you are (Missouri, zone 6 for example) and what you want to...
Early this morning the owl stopped by to say "goodbye" and flew away. My husband heard an owl call and thought it was pretty close to the house....
We had a power outage at 5 a.m. on the second day of the New Year--sure hope Toni's mother's prognostication doesn't hold true for us! When the...
On a cooking site I just read a thread about "What to do with leftover champagne." Are they kidding? Leftover? Champagne? I fear for the younger...
