Ronni, they are cute, even when sopping wet! We had a 75 lb. Golden Retriever/St. Bernard mix who knew if it was his bathtime. I could run the...
Toni, you add so much to a great website--thank you, and I'm looking forward to your posts for the next 8 (or more) years!
Toni, you and your life are the best eulogy your mama could have. I'll say a little extra prayer at 2 p.m. on Friday.
Amazing how planning and being prepared (knowing to check gas furnace vent, having a wood-burning stove at the ready) is so "lucky"! You and...
John, I think the worms hire ants--ants can go anywhere and do anything! That is interesting. We have worm castings in the pathway to the...
Cheryl, I love your caption, and my husband loves it, too. In fact, he printed it out and is sending it to a friend up north that, like him, is a...
Eileen, I am SHOCKED! You have never watched Downton Abbey? You must catch up on seasons one through three, and enjoy season four. Warning--it is...
Bless your district manager for being so sensible and sending y'all home early. Please stay safe and warm--especially Beej!
I have it all planned out--dinner at 6:30 p.m. then clean-up in the kitchen finished by 7:30 p.m. and then a quick hot shower and into my jammies....

Toni, please accept my condolences, and also, remember the happy times with your mother. How typical of you to consider the comfort of some of...
We have a brush pile just outside the fence to provide cover for the small birds coming to our feeders. Today a red tailed hawk came in to examine...
John, the Cornell Lab. of Ornithology had one of these nest boxes set up with a camera. They posted day-by-day from the first eggs to the...
Great idea! (Snow ought to be useful for something!). Lacking snow, I now have Christmas tree limbs protecting a couple of new/tender perennials....
Happy Birthday!
Toni, not only will I pray for your mom's easy passing, I'll also pray for you. You are in our thoughts at this difficult time.
Carolyn, we hope that cold weather kills the grasshopper eggs--last winter we had record lows, and this summer record numbers of 'hoppers. So much...
How wonderful! The best part of doing most of the work yourself is that you know it's done right. As Jerry said, we have our Stewbie noses...
Someone can have some of our bunnies (hey Mart, want to pay the postage?). We have bunnies that sun in the grass outside the chicken coop. I...
