John, the Cornell Lab. of Ornithology had one of these nest boxes set up with a camera. They posted day-by-day from the first eggs to the...
Great idea! (Snow ought to be useful for something!). Lacking snow, I now have Christmas tree limbs protecting a couple of new/tender perennials....
Happy Birthday!
Toni, not only will I pray for your mom's easy passing, I'll also pray for you. You are in our thoughts at this difficult time.
Carolyn, we hope that cold weather kills the grasshopper eggs--last winter we had record lows, and this summer record numbers of 'hoppers. So much...
How wonderful! The best part of doing most of the work yourself is that you know it's done right. As Jerry said, we have our Stewbie noses...
Someone can have some of our bunnies (hey Mart, want to pay the postage?). We have bunnies that sun in the grass outside the chicken coop. I...
Lovely photos of great scenery, but the very best is the snuggles picture. Who enjoys it more, you or Truls?

Wonderful, now you have a teen-ager to cope with, John! I am so very happy for you both--the spouse goes through a lot, as well as the one with...
Kildale, I didn't know you were dieting! There is too much of a good thing, you know . . . .
Oh, honey, DO birthdays! You earned the right to have cake, festivities, and presents. So, Happy Birthday!
Happy Birthday, Dooley! May your garden grow, your aprons sell, and may you receive all you desire for your special day :smt113 !
Cheryl, I looked in my Wildflowers of Texas by Geyata Ajilvsgi and the closest I could come to your flower was Three Lobe False Mallow, but the...
So many times your photos have led me to see things I had overlooked before. Your "deer cabbage" flower picture is beautiful--and now we'll all be...
Donna, I'd love some of your Marconi Red pepper seeds. I'll send you a private message to see what you need (SASE, postage, whatever).
Good idea, John! I always tell the local churches that I have homes for their Easter lilies. I hadn't thought of poinsettias.
