Netty. I don't think we need to worry about a squirrel invasion, since in16 years we have seen two. The little bugger didn't get our apples, we...
Netty, your Thanksgiving sounds wonderful, and I'm so glad you enjoyed it and then slept the sleep of the successful hostess. We have fall...
It's Saturday, but I wanted to wish Netty an early very happy Thanksgiving with her family on Sunday. And I wish her a very relaxing and "day off"...
Great photo! You are certainly a deer stalker. What head gear were you wearing at the time, a Sherlock Holmes hat?
Daniel, any cafe or coffee shop will be happy to fill your bucket with grounds, and call you to pick it up. Don't haul those heavy buckets of...
We have rain! It started around midnight and has been off and on since. We lost electricity for about four hours. I think it's a ploy by the...
Did the final preparation of the garlic bed, now it's ready to be planted. Also harvested the last of the basil. The plants would probably have...

AAnightowl, those are beautiful pictures. We, too, have butterflies and my husband enjoys photographing them. It's difficult because the...
Great caption! Really looking forward to the picture you post for the next caption contest.
Happy first day of October! We didn't do much today--just relaxed and petted the cat. Back into "get it done" mode tomorrow, but a day off sure is...
Ah Netty, you know mourning doves are not "morning" doves. When I edited a local newspaper, I had to constantly correct submissions about...
I'm sure the feral cat would appreciate a commendation, but if a medal is involved, where would you pin it?
[ATTACH]we have white winged doves, also Incas. Our doves are not migratory--they stick around all year, eating at the feeders and cooing early in...
Timi was feral. Born to a feral mama, five feral kittens who learned that humans provide food and water, and slowly learned to accept us. If you...
Sjoerd, birds are safe around here. Timi watches birds, drinks out of the bird watering station, and occasionally makes a futile leap at a bird....
Cats be cats, and you can't keep them out of your gardens, and you can't keep them out of your hearts. Timi likes to roll around in the path to...
We have several plants native to Texas. They are tough enough to survive our climate without coddling, and are pretty, also. This is West Texas...
