Cayuga, tell your dear husband that bird feeders and poles are not as valuable as he. If he won't listen and persists in trying to frighten a...
I'll top Carolyn's kind wishes by wishing you a Happy Birthday year! One whole year ought to about hold your adventurous spirit and sense of humor.
We had Huron County Pork Stew. It has chunks of pork, chunks of apples and carrots and potatoes, some apple cider, a broth made from roasted pork...
I have both feet firmly planted in the 19th century. I write letters, notes, cards by hand, and I've only recently graduated to a ball point pen...
You do not need to start zinnias inside, under a dome, or with heat. Zinnias grow, and grow well. I use the paper towel method to test the...
I love this quote from King Edward VIII: What impresses me most about America is the way parents obey their children." I've always admired the...
Spent a couple of hours cleaning out the tomato/pepper patch. The hard freeze we had earlier this week killed the plants. Fortunately we had...
Mirepoux, welcome to the forum! I don't know where you live and garden, but in most places you can just rake up the bed, toss down zinnia seeds,...
Sherry8, our cats have a morning ritual--when we (he) puts the food bowl out, all three run into the kitchen. Timi goes for our garden shoes,...
Carolyn, my husband and I are equally yoked in that we had mothers from, well, shall I say the nether regions? No embarrassment, just relief when...

Our first hard freeze (27 degrees) occurred overnight. That's early for us since it usually happens after Thanksgiving. Luckily my husband and I...
Okay Dooley, I'll stop complaining about our "cold" weather. "Frigid"? Good heavens, that is arctic weather! We had rain, overcast skies, and wind...
We had an inch and a half of rain overnight. This morning is overcast, windy and cold in the low 40's. The cats are not pleased, nor am I. The...
Mart, we have hawks, but none big enough or brave enough to tackle a ringneck! Our Redtail hawks and Coopers hawks go for the voles, mice, and...
Carolyn, I can send you some autumn if you want! We woke up to 42 degrees,and by 8:15 a.m. I was out picking lettuces, bell peppers, and cherry...
Mart, I too like the 1" ones, especially for glazing doughnuts and sweet rolls. We frugal gals have to stick together, what with all the ads for...
I am frugal, and also do a lot of cooking. I've found the 2" cheap paint brush sold at Harbor Freight to be a great baster. I use it, put it in...
We have fog this Monday morning. I felt my way out to the coop to feed the hens and let them into the outside coop, then managed to find my way...
I'm so happy for you and yes, those are lovely parsnips. If I can appreciate parsnips, you really have a great crop!
