Islandlife, no need to entice Cali. She comes down as soon as she thinks someone is willing to pet a cat! Anyway, Buddy is in the box on the...
Netty, so sorry to hear your hubby is ill. Please wish him all our best, and include yourself in the good wishes. Being nurse is sometimes harder...
[ATTACH] Some mornings are very humid, and there is a ground mist hovering over the fields. It happens in the fall and early winter, and we always...
[ATTACH] The rebuilt workshop has a small space between the eaves and the support rafters. Guess who found that is a great place to climb up and...
Today, the day after Thanksgiving, I'm still giving thanks! We have a stock pot with the turkey carcass and vegetables simmering, we had turkey on...
Gosh Jerry, I can't imagine having a flock of wild turkeys visit--how amazingly wonderful! Our hens are enjoying the holiday, and very thankful...
Hank, I got a Pinetree catalog today, too. I used to order from them for many years, but a few years ago the packs of seeds got smaller, the...
Happy pre-Thanksgiving day to y'all! It's sunny and 50 degrees here. The cats are lounging on the patio, I'm making crescent rolls for tomorrow's...

Well, it is a really good day when we hear from Kildale! So very happy that he's home, enjoying the great looking day with just a bit of a nip in...

Kildale, it is so good, good, good to hear from you! Enjoy being home, and post when you want. Just PLEASE take care of yourself!

It's 70 degrees at 8 a.m. I think winter is over! I picked up five pounds of pecans in the shell yesterday at the feed store, so I'm cracking and...
Cayuga, sometimes I get the "I wanna be free" feeling when canning so I understand Islandlife's reaction of relief, but wanted to offer a few...
Cayuga, we love fall here, too. We take it one day at a time (which is about all the fall we get) and enjoy the cooler mornings and migratory...
That is Christmas! What a wonderful way to celebrate the holiday. Thank you for sharing, Sjoerd.
Mart, the fudge delice is like a decadent Moon Pie--good analogy! Islandlife, you don't have to give up your holiday baking. Contact a homeless...
