Today is my husband's birthday--got the cake made yesterday so today is just thawing the steak and toasting almonds for the green beans almondine...
Happy Anniversary to you both! I would think that, with a judicious distribution of cash on your part, none of us Stewies would tell Ian you...
Well, Happy Birthday, EvilRoy! About those senior discounts--they are nice, but it's even better to be carded when you are buying beer!
Looking forward to your questions, and sincerely hope I can be of some help. Re-doing beds when you have a plan isn't so difficult. Where did you...
Toni, I love the image of snowflakes coming from the AC vents! Like you, I'm in for the day. Got the hens watered, fed, and turned into the...
Children love to make the dragon's head "snap". If you squeeze the flower gently, it opens up like a mouth. Even broken, your snapdragon is...
FBG, I do hope your plants recover. Have you tried giving them a boost of calcium? We are having dry but humid weather, and our tomatoes are...
Pianolady, I will say "no" as politely as I can. Your good advice will help me stiffen my spine and be firm! 2ofus, I don't like anyone else in my...
An acquaintance called to ask me if I had dill. I told her I wasn't sure if any was left, but would go check and call her back, which I did with a...
Judy, you can just let Mother Nature take care of the odd bits--they will decompose and come off on their own. We made leaf stepping stones and...
You obviously have a green thumb (perhaps a green hand!). Your flowers are beautiful, and remind me of our flowers when we lived up north. Thank...
Our bees, despite the wet spring when they huddled in the hive and didn't go out getting nectar and honey, came through for us. We have honey! We...
At 9:30 a.m. I am hot, sticky, dirty, and smell of garlic! I cleaned the garlic hanging in the barn after pruning back some shrubs in the back...
Although we are not French, we do enjoy celebrating any French holiday by having a fine dinner accompanied by a French wine. Bastille Day is a...
Toni, you see junque, and all its possibilities! Great finds, and it sounds as if you had a very nice trip!
[ATTACH] I've posted before that we have a variety of snakes here on the farm, most of whom are non-venomous. This morning we found this shedded...
FBG, we've had polecats (aka skunks) under the steps from our patio. Water is the best way to get them to move. We ran a hose under the steps, let...
Toni, that was absolutely the best ever caption for that photo! Congratulations, and I'm looking forward to seeing the photo you post for the next...
Smelling like Italy is a good thing (throw in some garlic and basil and you've got a party!). Our house smells of honey, which isn't bad, either....
We cleaned house today and then I made a batch of tomato-basil butter to put in the freezer. We set up the kitchen for extracting honey tomorrow...
