Happy Saturday! Have I ever mentioned how nicely my days start when I get on the Stew and see an "alert" and it's a "like"? How very...
Logan, we aren't doing much in the garden either, but not because of cold, but wet! We had 1 1/2 inches of rain last night, on top of the 1/2 inch...
Mart, is that some sort of hot dog? Tonight, since it is very warm, and very muggy, we are having a fresh garden salad with bacon sprinkles and...
Odif, you aren't missing much . . . .
We enjoy Midsommer Murders, although the writers need to step up their game. We usually know who did it after the first half-hour. NCIS was a...
I am so indulged! When I came home from the grocery store this morning, I heard bagpipe music on our stereo! At first I thought the classical...

Our vegetable gardens are about a month behind. I picked our first lettuces today, and we are usually eating fresh lettuce salads in March. Our...
Carolyn, I haven't found any eggs laying around in the yard--yet. Sjoerd, all our hens have combs, big bright red combs. Having no experience that...
Not only is her artwork functional, just think of the happiness looking at it will bring to the other allotmenteers! Your neighbor is a true...
Netty, is there a law against transporting chickens across national borders for culinary purposes?
The farmer across the road can't contain his livestock. We've had his cows in our yard, a flock of hens come over to seek asylum, and now a...
Cayuga, what a lovely arch! You and your daughter did a great job of installing it. May I suggest that the next time you have to pound T-bars into...
