Sunday night we got down to 19 degrees, and my husband swore he saw a polar bear down by the pond!
Freezing! It was freezing outside, but I was inside freezing the broccoli and bell peppers we rescued before the cold front arrived and sent...
When we lived in upstate NY, we got "Alberta Clippers" which were cold blasts, high winds, and snow. I've never been overly fond of Alberta ever...

Good, chilly morning to y'all! We woke up to 20 degrees, and three hours later the temperature has climbed all the way up to 24. This is NOT the...
It's amazing that wild birds will eat from your hand! I cannot imagine the patience you must have, as well as the rapport you've established with...

Netty, don't risk yourself! The family can live off all your delicious canned goods for months and nothing is as important to have as you, so be...
Perfect caption, Eileen--congratulations!
That salad must have tasted as good as it looks! We grow lots of lettuces (what we don't eat friends like to get). You might want to look into...

Netty, I do hope you feel better soon. Take care and don't overdo--your health is so important to so many people! I roasted more buttered pecans...
