Our fridge has an ice maker and water pass through from the freezer side. The ice maker works fine, although it is hard to turn off or on because...
Willow, cats do not always land on their feet. I have witnessed Buddy roll off the porch and land on his side. It was a short fall and just made...
Cayuga, thank you for letting me visit your beautiful and varied garden. I went to the bathroom before I came;).
Good morning! Today was the day we took Buddy to the vet for his annual check-up (Buddy's, not the vet's). He fought like a demon to stay out of...
Oh Tooty, that is so touching, and so fortunate for all of you, four and two footers! We have three cats, all arrived in MamaCat, came out into...
We thought we'd lost our Passion Vine (passiflora incarnata) when the old workshop was destroyed by wind and during the rebuilding, the spot where...
Jerry, congratulations on a fantastic photo! Also, thank you for reminding me of some of the lovely and beloved plants we grew when we lived in...

Oh, yes! I found a recipe for the curry (in English!) and I have all the ingredients except coconut milk. However, there is a World Market that I...
Sjoerd, I must ask--please, what is "massaman curry"? It sounds interesting and perhaps I can find the ingredients to make it.
My dear meat man at the local grocery saved a small ham for me, so we are having some of it tonight with new red potatoes from the garden, a pear...
Watch out, Tooty! Squirrels have a way of getting revenge, mostly by making holes in your roof, or tearing down feeders! (This is a post by...
Mart, I agree about avoiding cottonmouths--they are not the nicest snake. We are always very careful when walking or mowing around the pond since...
Cayuga, if that photo doesn't do the iris justice, I may not be able to survive a photo that does! They are so lovely, so tranquil somehow.
Carolyn, we also have hammers, and I keep a five pound mallet in the barn, but so far duct tape and wire are doing the job! Sjoerd, I'm so sorry...
