Eileen, our birds might like the insects and mealworms embedded in suet but, as much as I like to cook and experiment in the kitchen, I do draw...
Our suet feeders have been hard hit lately. Here's a cardinal enjoying a snack. If you don't have a suet feeder, please get one (or two or three)...
Netty, you are having a good effect on me. Your cheerful way of coping with weather is a model more of us should follow. As I was driving home...
Hmmmm, I have a wall clock in the barn that doesn't work. Bet I could make a great retirement present for someone by removing the hands. Thanks...
Happy Mardi Gras everybody! Mardi Gras means "fat Tuesday", which pretty well describes every Tuesday around here. It's chilly but not raining, so...
Roll out the barrel, let's have a barrel of fun!
Due to our unreasonably wet start to this year, I'm behind on pruning our roses. I usually prune in February, but just now got started, and it's...
Love the way your mind works! Great caption, and most likely a great photo coming for #556. Congratulations!
Cayuga, I hope you enjoyed your trip and your dining out. Tonight we are having comfort food again since it's chilly out there! The menu is ham...
Mother Nature wasn't laughing at me today, at least not out loud! I cut broccoli side shoots, picked some dandelions to give to the hens (they...
We went to early primary voting today. Two and a half long pages of candidates and propositions. The propositions were heavily weighted to...

And this is so true: [IMG]
Well, we are having rain today and it's chilly. My clean patio doors are now speckled with raindrops, and everything outside is wet (except the...
It's overcast with temps in the 60's, so I decided it was the ideal day to wash windows. Wrong! I got the patio doors cleaned and it started to...
Well, supposedly today was to finish preparing the potato patch, do more pruning, and rake over the annual flower bed--not. Today has such high...
Mart, I agree. When I started planting potatoes I was very traditional, hilling my little heart out. Now I plant in a 6" deep trench and cover the...
Cayuga, you are going to have a spectacular spring--and I hope you share more photos with us. I was pruning today, and saw that the gum bumelia...
Just an unscientific opinion, but "when in doubt, don't". The warning tag may just be an over reaction to possible liability, but personally I'd...
We have a butterfly waterer in the garden--shallow and small. We thought it was for butterflies, but it seems cats take over anything they want....
