His mama should have taught him to not bite off more than he can chew! We have seen herons catch a fish and take three or four "gulps" to down it....
Roses are so rewarding, and it looks like your care if them is being amply rewarded! Simply beautiful.
Toni, not everyone would be kind enough to fix cream gravy for squirrels.;);) You really do love wildlife, don't you?
My stars, those are magnificent gardens! Your boundless energy and persistence has surely paid off, and I do hope you get to give tours of your...
Raddang, squirrels are cute, and we had several when we lived in town (we also had a large pecan tree). We don't have any here on the farm, and I...
Sjoerd, thank you for the kind words (I'm blushing and smiling as I read them). I love to cook and "mess about" in the kitchen but I have a lot to...
Carolyn, may I be the first of many to wish you a very Happy Birthday! Hoping you have a wonderful day--relaxing and fun.
Sjoerd, I wash the bottles but don't sterilize them--a little wine never hurt anything! As you pointed out the acetic acid prevents bacteria...

Linda, welcome to the Stew! Please, clarify your post. Is your crepe myrtle doing fine, or are the leaves brown now? I often need things...
A feral cat had her kittens under our workshop. They are old enough now to be out and about and exploring the wide world of our shed. I have...
My gosh, in addition to being one heck of a gardener, you're one heck of a cook, too! Now I'll go wipe the drool off my keyboard . . . .
Jerry, I'll take your word for the parentage. I'm completely clueless when it comes to daylilies, except that they are beautiful and a wonderful...
I received this daylily from a fellow Stewie last year, and it is blooming! I'm so thrilled, and so very grateful for the generosity. We don't...
Happy Anniversary, and may you have many more!:smt008
With 1 1/8" of rain overnight, I won't be doing much in the gardens today (soggy, soggy, soggy). Like Netty, I'm doing laundry, cleaning house--a...
Carolyn, I empathize with you having to wait, go around, or even go to another aisle while shopping. I am polite, "Please let me through" the...
