Good Friday to you all! I'm waiting for things to dry out a bit before harvesting herbs to dry and to freeze. Very humid and dewy out there! I'm...
Congratulations! Bet you have a great picture to post for #606.
If I offered you $100,000 to jump out of an airplane without a parachute, would you do it? Bet you said "no!" But if I told you the airplane was...
Wednesday, and while husband is out "foraging" at the grocery store, I'm doing some cleaning. It rained last night, so I'm doubly glad the...
Ah Clay, I have no camera skills! My husband takes the photos--I just post them. I'll pass your kind remark on to him.
Sojerd, the youngster ate the seed. Our woodpeckers are omnivores--insects, berries, seeds, almost anything they can get their beaks around!
We are pretty sure the two woodpeckers we saw are a pair, and have their first offspring. This is a young bird but old enough to find the easy...
Netty, there is a powder called Repels All that repels mammals but not birds. It might be in hardware or ranch and supply stores, but can be...
We don't have squirrels here. They are all down by the pecan bottoms along Sandy Creek. I can't say that I miss them.
This morning we saw two woodpeckers on the utility pole, and then a bit later, this one on the dead mesquite in the barn lot. Don't think it needs...
Between Sojerd and Melody, I just may have some ripe pears to eat this year! Thank you both for the much-needed advice. Pac, I mentioned baked...
Happy Birthday! You certainly deserve a special day, and it's here!
We took a look at our pear trees, and they are loaded with small pears. We'd like to ripen them on the trees, but the deer will get to them before...
Netty, so happy to hear your eye is feeling better. Would it be possible for you to wear safety glasses while working outside? I just got in from...
Ah Sojerd, I'm so sorry your back is sore and giving you trouble. Sore backs must be known as "the gardeners' disease". Please take it easy and...
I had a happy hour in the garden, weeding the Roma tomatoes and giving the weeds to the hens. "Oh boy, greenies!" There is still quite a bit of...
Here are the loaves made yesterday, sitting on their cooling rack. Eight loaves? It seems that not only do I have no restraint when baking, I...
We are soggy and foggy! We didn't have rain last night, but the humidity is at 90% so it feels like "air you can wear." I took my usual refuge in...
Marco Polo!
AAnightowl, you would be very welcome in Texas, but I don't think you'd like our climate. Smart of you to pace yourself, and not overdo until you...
