Jerry, crawdads are locally called "mud bugs." They are tasty, even better when prepared by someone else!
This is a good day--the nicest thing happened to me today on my weekly trip into town. I stopped by the feed store to get chicken feed, and drop...
[IMG] Guess Rick Racoon found his niche!
Mego, Texas had a very wet spring, and now we have dried up. That part is usual for us, but this spring was WET! I've noticed fewer birds, and...
Spector, making stock is not a science, it's a free-form art! Fill you big stock pot about 1/3 full of necks, add the other ingredients, and have...
Oh Spector, you have the makings for some spectacular turkey stock! Just put the necks in a very large stock pot with two large yellow onions...
Cayuga, it was our 49th anniversary. He is a very patient man . . . .
Happy Monday! Since we are retired we can say that with a straight face. I'm baking French bread today, which is another reason it's a happy...

Thank you, and it was a happy anniversary! Our 49th is a testament to my husband's patience and stamina, and my absolute refusal to leave!
Mart, yes we do have a mask on our statue, fondly named Gorg. I wonder why our neighbors avoid us if possible . . . .
Some of us fight using humor. My superman husband ordered tee shirts for us, featuring the Easter Island statue we have near the driveway (bet you...
Mego, great photo, and lovely story to go with it!
Ours does the same. We let them come up, throw out a bit of composted manure, and have a small fall crop of asparagus.
Mego, we have a white Rose of Sharon outside our bedroom window. It is in bloom now, and every morning when I see it I'll think of you and your...
Thank you all for the good wishes! My birthday was exactly what I wanted---quiet, petting cats, pasta salad for lunch, and my dear husband gave me...
Tooty, we have lots of dragonflies--more than usual. We also have fewer butterflies than usual. I'm hoping that our unusual weather has simply...
