I am not reading this post to my hens. They would be grossed out, as well as terrified. :eek:
Happy Birthday! Hope you start off the New Year with a great celebration!
[ATTACH] Early this morning (5 a.m.) we had strong winds, thunder, lightning, and rain. As soon as it was light enough to see (7:30 a.m.), we went...
Eileen, thank you for taking the time and effort to look up the owls. We had no idea of what was going on, and our identification books didn't...
Oh my, that had never occurred to me, that there might be more than one owl! We have only seen one at a time, and believe me, we have been keeping...
Happy Birthday! Having you here on the Stew will guarantee a happy New Year for the members--love your posts!
Sjoerd, the trail camera is working fine--so far we have seen a fox and found that we have a doe trotting through the backyard rather frequently....
This morning our owl was still in the mesquite, but had shifted his perch to a higher branch, and wasn't so fluffed out as before. I put out raw...
LIcenter, that is reassuring. I do hope our owl is either a juvenile, or has decided this is a safe place to stay, or is just resting up from...
Sjoerd, that doesn't sound anything like the chili I make, but it sure sounds good! A couple of quick questions--is the chocolate the bitter...
Mart, I wondered about one eye being less open than the other. It can fly--it flew into the mesquite while we were going to the barn, and then...
And a very Happy New Year to you Frank! Your Garden Stew makes many people happy, so thank you. (No, you didn't make me feel old--I'm still 17 at...
I love #1--around here it's called the "Darwin Principle," especially when two good old boys do something and only one survives to tell the tale!
We had our first owl visit today. Walking out to the barn to bring the hens in, we saw a Great Horned Owl in our old mesquite tree. It flew down...
Oh yes, Parmesan Reggiano sliced super thin on top of pasta or a green salad is about as close to heaven as I'll ever get! My favorite snack is...
Like kbsrt410, I've just been planning and plotting the spring garden. The feed store has onion sets, so I'll get some next week and put those in....
Ditto Eileen's remark--so inventive, so funny, and so very appropriate! Love your stories.
Love cheese! Aged sharp cheddar is one of my favorites, as well as smoked Gouda. Havarti is great, and I cook with the "lesser" cheeses like Swiss...
It has stopped :(. Today's high was in the 50's, with last night's lows in the mid-40's. We are in for a cold spell with temperatures ranging from...
I'd never seen a Moorhen--thank you for a new experience and a new bird to enjoy! We've had higher than average temperatures here in central...
