Clay, I like to start my seeds in the 6 or 9 plastic containers that are about 2" deep. Peat or paper pots dry out too fast, and larger containers...
Ronni, I'm glad you are enjoying Downton. Cuatro-gatos, I think the producers and PBS are very surprised that people have an interest in a...
I went out in the chill and drizzle and harvested two heads of broccoli this morning. Most of our fall garden is finished--we still have broccoli...
Donna, I'm heading for the kitchen now! It's a dank and drizzly day so no outside work, but making Cinnamon bread sounds like an indoor activity...
Ronni, you are absolutely right--it isn't good for the pet to be "tranquilized" every time it needs a bit of extra grooming, or a trip to the vet....
We haven't had the ghastly cold y'all have experienced, but it got down to 19 one night. We have heat lamps aimed at the hens' perches and a heat...
Kildale, NO! I like to try to figure out the story line/plot and see if I'm right (haven't done too well, yet). Anticipation is almost as good as...
Ronni, they are cute, even when sopping wet! We had a 75 lb. Golden Retriever/St. Bernard mix who knew if it was his bathtime. I could run the...
Toni, you add so much to a great website--thank you, and I'm looking forward to your posts for the next 8 (or more) years!
Toni, you and your life are the best eulogy your mama could have. I'll say a little extra prayer at 2 p.m. on Friday.
Amazing how planning and being prepared (knowing to check gas furnace vent, having a wood-burning stove at the ready) is so "lucky"! You and...
John, I think the worms hire ants--ants can go anywhere and do anything! That is interesting. We have worm castings in the pathway to the...
Cheryl, I love your caption, and my husband loves it, too. In fact, he printed it out and is sending it to a friend up north that, like him, is a...
Eileen, I am SHOCKED! You have never watched Downton Abbey? You must catch up on seasons one through three, and enjoy season four. Warning--it is...
Bless your district manager for being so sensible and sending y'all home early. Please stay safe and warm--especially Beej!
I have it all planned out--dinner at 6:30 p.m. then clean-up in the kitchen finished by 7:30 p.m. and then a quick hot shower and into my jammies....
Yes Carolyn, but I prefer "nitrogen" that I don't have to shovel! Up north, I used to judge what might be the last snow of the season ( hope...
Could easily be a juvenile Cooper's. We have them around here. I was going with Red-tailed because they are so abundant. Thanks for the ID, FBG!
Toni, please accept my condolences, and also, remember the happy times with your mother. How typical of you to consider the comfort of some of...
We have a brush pile just outside the fence to provide cover for the small birds coming to our feeders. Today a red tailed hawk came in to examine...
