Major, like you we can and freeze, and eat a lot fresh. We always intentionally over plant because our local food pantry accepts fresh produce and...
Sometimes cabin fever turns into cabin cleaning. When we lived in upstate NY I spent my winters making soups and stews, shoveling snow, cleaning...
We have Black Australorps, which lay a LOT of eggs. Don't know about the meat thing since these are our feathered pets and I grieve when one dies...
Major, that is a tutorial on seeds--thank you! I ordered from Seeds n' Such for the first time this year and am happy with the germination rate....
Congratulations on yet another fabulous photo! Please keep your pictures coming--they are so lovely!
Excuse me while I drool! Those Boston butts look great--I think you braving the cold will be worth it. I smoked a chicken last weekend, but I...
Frank is adorable (you choose which Frank I'm referring to). So glad you found the perfect dog, and that he found such a great home!
Oh, you have my deepest sympathy (not sarcastic, just sincere). We lived through years of similar weather, and although those who don't have to...
Vick's Vaporub--my heavens, what child-hater made that! It was bad enough rubbed on your chest when you had a cold, but my mother decided that...
While reading all the replies and reminiscences here, I realized that the parenting we received resulted in great adults! Capable, not afraid of a...
Chilly and overcast this morning, so no outside work. Cleaning house, and tackling organizing the pantry--it has gotten a bit out of hand...

Toni, I started the common geranium ( the pelagornium x hortorum) in three colors--red, coral, and a pinkish white. If I can find seed for the...
We now have three raised beds behind the barn, and the rest of the area is tilled and ready to plant! I managed to get more of the back flowerbed...
Cjay, remember that 49% of health professionals graduated in the bottom of their class! I've had no problem telling a doctor that I'm here,...
Chicken: I'm inside, you're outside. Dog: No, I'm inside and you're outside!
I'll stick with using the back side of the blade! I've had my good knives for about 30 years also, Majorcatfish. They are still sharp, thanks to a...
When chopping, dicing, mincing, I scoot the vegetables onto the back of my chef's knife and transfer them to the pan or pot. While watching...
Carolyn, yes, I have a twelve cell with geranium seeds on a heat mat and under a dome. I got a late start this year, but we'll see how it goes and...
