Donna, so glad you had no damage! Lakes, especially front yard lakes, go away eventually. So smart of you to have a generator. So many folks are...
Hmmmm, "feral" cat sitting on a rug, looking very well fed and groomed. When you adopt, Captain, you really adopt! Congratulations to the Lion...
As we say here in Texas, "No brag, just fact." You did very well getting that lovely flower. You are justifiably proud!
When we moved to Texas, I told my husband I'd never been "ma'am'd" so much in my life! It wasn't that folks in New York were impolite (quite the...
My first thought is temperature--either too cool or too warm. Worms can stand a temperature range from about 40 to 94 degrees F. Second thought...
Here are our hens--all grown up, fluffy, and laying eggs as if there were no tomorrow (they heard not laying leads to "no tomorrow"): [img]...
Oh gee Chocolate, remind me to ask you this same question in July! Glad you have a good summer garden going. I'd give cash money for a real...
Hank, you made my day! Those are so charming/funny! Thanks so very much! (I may be wearing out my ! key).
John, I think we are happy with ourselves because we see things grow, realize not everything works out the way you think it will (don't ask me...
These are my garden resolutions, which will last about a nano-second: 1. Weed rigorously and faithfully 2. After #1 fails, cultivate and mulch...

Ronni, we always put in Swiss Chard (mostly for the chickens since my husband doesn't like it much), spinach, leaf lettuces, onions, carrots,...
And a welcome from Central Texas! Wait 'til you see the photos of gardens, birds, scenery, and pets. You'll love it here and we hope you'll jump...
Clay, I like to start my seeds in the 6 or 9 plastic containers that are about 2" deep. Peat or paper pots dry out too fast, and larger containers...
Ronni, I'm glad you are enjoying Downton. Cuatro-gatos, I think the producers and PBS are very surprised that people have an interest in a...
I went out in the chill and drizzle and harvested two heads of broccoli this morning. Most of our fall garden is finished--we still have broccoli...
Donna, I'm heading for the kitchen now! It's a dank and drizzly day so no outside work, but making Cinnamon bread sounds like an indoor activity...
Ronni, you are absolutely right--it isn't good for the pet to be "tranquilized" every time it needs a bit of extra grooming, or a trip to the vet....
We haven't had the ghastly cold y'all have experienced, but it got down to 19 one night. We have heat lamps aimed at the hens' perches and a heat...
Kildale, NO! I like to try to figure out the story line/plot and see if I'm right (haven't done too well, yet). Anticipation is almost as good as...
