Miss Kitty, please, what is lefsa? Loaded potato is one of our favorite winter time lunches, even though we aren't smack dab in the center of...
Aura, we don't grow pumpkins since they require a lot of water, and that is a scarce item here in Central Texas. I do buy pie pumpkins (small,...
Toni, pray that the roofing guys don't want Ferraris! We are still having very light rain, and the puddles are slowly sinking in. We had 1/2"...
Carolyn, I never knew that! I have the feeling that between you and Netty, next year may be my year for edible dill pickles!

Thank you all for the kind comments! Netty, we use the wood stove perhaps a dozen times a year--if the electricity goes out or if we're in the...
Sjoerd, thank you for the kind words. My husband had prepared a "beginner's guide to beekeeping" for a beekeeping club, so we had these booklets...
Toni, I loved that caption! All were good, but yours just captured the bewilderment of a bunch of turtles. Congratulations!
Ah, Sjoerd, I didn't bore the ladies too much, so I'm not going to press my luck with boring the Stewies. No slides--this was in the home of one...
