I don't think I'll ever get old. Not that I'm going to shuffle off my mortal coil any time soon, I just don't feel old! We bought a farm at age...
Glad you saved your garden from the flood, and now you're saving it from the drought. Gardening ain't easy, ever!
Paul, a warm welcome from Texas! You've picked a great group to talk gardening with.
Richie, there is a waterproof sealer, Thompson's, that is used on decks. Since most decks are cedar, I think it would work on your shakes, too. It...
Oh, I'm going to make copies of this, Hank, and distribute them. :setf_056: A toast to you!
Carolyn, one of the joys of a puppy is that it is a puppy, and you can train it from the very beginning. German Shepherds are a wonderful...
Carolyn, It's a Hamilton Beach Big Mouth (please, no jokes about the processor resembling its owner). It is 11 cup capacity with a smaller 5 cup...
Success! After ordering a food processor on-line and returning it, I found one this weekend at a store. I handled the demonstration model, took it...
Toni, as I understand it a pressure canner is a larger capacity and comes with a wire basket that the jars sit in. Otherwise, you can cook in it,...

That's the ideal doggie--no mess, no walkies, no fleas--just ultra-cuteness! Well done. I can't get over how inventive some folks are.
Such lovely memories you brought back, Philip--thanks for the tour! When I see European cities I always hope our US cities age as well (unlikely,...
Toni, I have a Ball book from the 1930's (it was my mother's) that has recipes for canning meats, and fish. Canned fish? I've never tried...
Gee, if you can't have fun in a garden, where can you have fun? I love your tipsy planter, and the "water feature" also. Gardeners shouldn't...
Thank you for telling us how you are doing. So far, so good, except for Lynn, who had some damage. Keep us informed about your well-being!
Clay, the catalpa is a nice tree, and we had one when we lived in upstate NY. The "cigars" they drop have to be raked up--they will clog a lawn...
Lynn, I agree about the lack of reading leading to lack of spelling skills (also speaking, but that's another rant for another time!). When I go...
Goodness gracious, you look like a prettier Paula Deen!
Jerry, the fish heads were for nitrogen (and to attract local wildlife which then added protein to the native Americans' diets). I put crushed egg...
Lynn, first I must tell you I adore your avatar! I use my food processor mostly during canning season, but if I can't find a good replacement,...
