CJay, it's always sad to lose a friend, whether through the friend moving away, or passing away. I hope you remember the good times and those...
Our first frost last night--chilly early this morning and the hens were all fluffed out. I picked green beans, peppers, and lettuce yesterday...
Sjoerd, my husband keeps telling me the bread/casserole/roast I made was "almost perfect, but you need to keep practicing." Do you think he's...
Happy Birthday! After all the work and thought you put into remembering and wishing other members happy birthdays and anniversaries, you certainly...
We've been here on the farm for nearly 10 years, and today my husband saw our first red fox! It ran across the road, across the front yard, and...
One of my favorite days of the year--free dump day! The local county dump holds a free day twice a year--accepting almost anything that isn't...
You have a lovely view, and an interesting history of the embankment. We have trains that pass daily on the tracks on the other side of the...
Great caption! Looking forward to seeing your photo for captioning.

We've had a "super moon" for the last few nights, an occurrence that won't happen again until 2030, or thereabouts. Frankly, I didn't see anything...
I was wondering where you were--so glad to see you're back! Our garlic is up about 2", and one especially nice variety is doing well. No such...
We are fortunate in that we don't have deer damage in our yard or gardens. We've seen only one deer in nine years. We have rosemary in the flower...
I admit to being frugal (my husband says I throw nickels around like manhole covers), and there is a relatively new low-price, no frills grocery...
Thank you, Kevin. Our gardens are pretty big, so we do have pavers or bricks as paths through them, and so I can tend the plants. Would you...
Well Toni, if Ma Nature doesn't drink, she at least drives gardeners to do so! Cleaning house today, and making cheese rolls. This afternoon,...
