Netty, your snow is very pretty, very scenic, and very cold. I'll stick with our Texas November weather, although we did have to turn on the heat...
Here's hoping KKNg is safe and dry. Winds of 195 mph are terribly dangerous.
Cheryl, that is a lovely winter home for the tender plants! You (and hubby) did very, very well. I just use an empty stall in the barn with a...
Eileen, we awoke to the sound of gunfire this morning--hunters after doves. Why someone wants to shoot a bird that will give them at most one bite...
We winter sow, but not like you are talking about, I fear. We sow cool weather crops directly into the garden and they sprout and grow slowly...
With the rains, our native flowers and plants have gotten their second wind and are blossoming for us and the bees. [img] Early November flowers...
Kiasmum, I hereby place my order for a full-length formal gown that I need by next Tuesday. Measurements will follow . . . . I wish I had your...
Now your son will be able to bring the grandbaby to see you in comfort, style, and safety! Smart move, grandpa :wink: . I second Eileen's opinion...
Carolyn, I am so sorry for your cousin and his family. This is a terrible time for all of you, but Chuck is alive, he is on the mend, and things...
Avarose, advice from gardeners who "have been there, done that" is much more valuable than suggestions from nurseries or other stores, even if...
Netty, that is the ultimate fall photo! I'm so glad you won, and am looking forward to seeing more of your photos.
Oh yes, please do post more fungi pictures! I hadn't really looked at the toadstools, mushrooms, lichen and other oddities here on the farm until...
I have fun growing food. I also have fun giving away the extras. All the other benefits mentioned are nice, too, but mainly I grow food because I...
When I first saw the calf last week, he took one step forward and two sideways. His directional ability has improved greatly--now he goes straight...
Cats can take over, make your life one of eternal servitude, and still be cute! Philip, I think your cats have mastered the art of "supreme catness".
Yes, Reba is purebred, Hank (and bless you for knowing the difference between purebred and thoroughbred!). Longhorns are "show cattle" or "front...
Our next-door longhorn, Reba, had her calf last week. Here is the happy mama and her baby: [img] Reba and her calf ( photo / image / picture...
No Carolyn, that is not weird, it is a sign that your family is blessed with some lefties who will offer tender guidance and care to the righties....
Donna, if your cat is napping there, it obviously is not a "cold" frame! Do you plan to install a small mattress? That is a great cold frame, by...
I'm a lefty (you probably guessed that, right?). In second grade my well-intentioned but misguided teacher decided I should be right-handed....
