Since it is a cooler, rainy day, we are having pasta with marinara sauce, Italian bread, and a salad of baby lettuces with carrot shavings....
It's raining today--and predicted to be off-and-on all day so I baked gingersnaps after seeing to the hens. I'm getting a good start on my...
I thinned the leaf lettuces and have a nice bag of baby leaves for a salad. We put up the supports for the sugar peas but ran out of garden twine,...
Jerry, love your caption, and the pictures you post for the contest. You have a very inventive mind!
Tomorrow is the 7th--Freedom Day for Kildale, we hope. I don't know how he managed it, but the Dereila Nature newsletter was as great as usual....

The English sparrows are migrating, but took a break to have a pool party at our watering station. Now I have to pick up all the beer cans . . . ....

This just might work! I brought in small starts of thyme, sage, and parsley for kitchen window sill plants. They have been in for three weeks and...
Baked corn casserole is one egg, one can of creamed corn, six crushed saltines, and about 1/2 c. of milk (or a bit more since canned creamed corn...
It's cold so I'm going into my "winter dinner" mode. Tonight it's roasted pork tenderloin with a sage rub, baked corn casserole, and an...
Cold! Well, it's cold for us--45 when I got up, and is to only climb to mid-50's later. I'm off to the grocery store, then home to make chicken...
