Thank you all for the kind words and good thoughts. I had a great birthday, nice and quiet here on our little farm--just the way I like it! I was...
Congratulations, Netty! That is a lovely photo--just what a flower garden should look like.
OH, my stars, that is so funny! :smt046
Everyone around here is joyous about the nice summer we are having--only ONE day at 100 degrees, and enough rain for once! However, the old-timers...
I'm all for anything Italian! I may add that variety to our garlic bed this year. We plant in October, so I need to start planning our plot.
Those bluejays--no consideration for other flyers! Glad your hummingbird recovered. We fished one out of a water barrel, dried it off with a very...
That is truly impressive! Our garlic harvest was down a bit this year--rain at the wrong time. I have enough for the coming year, but just enough!...

Ingenious solution to the raccoon problem! :smt041 We don't have raccoons, or if we do, it is for a very short while because we have coyotes....
Ya gotta love engineers!
Kay, I was wondering how Dolly was doing, but hestitated to ask. So very happy to hear she is eating like a little piggy and sticking close to...
Jerry, that's not munching, that's pruning. He's just trying to help out in the garden you've provided! We greet three or four rabbits each...
