We have a pair of cardinals who nest in a backyard tree. They hit the feeders and bird waterer, raise their young to do the same, and provide a...
Perhaps the demand for it doesn't justify the shelf space. It is fairly easy to grow, so perhaps you can grow your own in a fall garden. I've...
I made our anniversary dinner last night. I really don't mind not going out to dine (we are restaurant deprived around here) and I love to cook....
Thank you, and it was a happy anniversary! Our 49th is a testament to my husband's patience and stamina, and my absolute refusal to leave!
Mart, yes we do have a mask on our statue, fondly named Gorg. I wonder why our neighbors avoid us if possible . . . .
Some of us fight using humor. My superman husband ordered tee shirts for us, featuring the Easter Island statue we have near the driveway (bet you...
Mego, great photo, and lovely story to go with it!
Ours does the same. We let them come up, throw out a bit of composted manure, and have a small fall crop of asparagus.
Mego, we have a white Rose of Sharon outside our bedroom window. It is in bloom now, and every morning when I see it I'll think of you and your...
Thank you all for the good wishes! My birthday was exactly what I wanted---quiet, petting cats, pasta salad for lunch, and my dear husband gave me...
Tooty, we have lots of dragonflies--more than usual. We also have fewer butterflies than usual. I'm hoping that our unusual weather has simply...
Thank you for the lovely bloom photos! Right now we have nothing much blooming--too hot, too dry. We go through this each year and know that our...
Mart. I'd go with the sandwich also. We do have a microwave meal once a week. On Friday evenings we watch PBS Newshour, followed by Washington...
Some of us are beautiful, some are not, but we are all birds!
We plant Kinnebec and Red LaSoda potatoes every year--nothing tastes as good as a freshly dug potato! We, too, have critters. I have found that...
Willow, find someone who wants to make pickles and give them lots and lots of cucumbers! Young pumpkins are green. They turn orange when ripe and...
Good morning to you all! Today will be warm and muggy, so I'll harvest herbs early, along with more cucumbers. Pork roast for pulled pork is in...
Welcome to the Stew, Spector! We are on a small farm in central Texas, with vegetable and flower gardens, and a small orchard. We are both...
Mego, you are so strong to focus on the happiness you two shared, and the gardens which are a memorial to her. The ache never goes away, but it...
Cayuga, air-dried garlic is so much more tasty than the commercial garlic that is dried on a conveyor belt in a slow oven. A bit of aroma in the...
