Netty, "all the days are the same"--now you know how it feels to be retired (good, good!). We have drizzle this morning, so I am house cleaning....
The cuttings rooted! I took six, and five rooted. I checked today by the "gently tug" method, and five are definitely rooted. They will go into a...
Netty, I can't imagine you being cranky! Getting outside will help, and of course Sargeant is available to console you. With three cats, we are so...
It's overcast, chilly, and very windy, so I'm hunkering down in the kitchen and doing some recreational baking. We gave all the cats a good...
Right! I usually don't follow micro-managed recipes to the letter. Stoves and ovens vary; tastes vary; and even ingredients vary. I'll have fun...
Oh sure Netty, most of those sheltering in place are gaining weight (bored=eating!) and you are getting fighting fit and probably shedding a few...

Netty, doesn't it feel wonderful to have dirt under your nails, wind in your hair, and an aching back? It's rainy today, but I managed to get the...
Happy belated birthday! So glad you are with us on the Stew.
I love antique pottery! It is hand-thrown and most of it is from upstate NY with the Albany slip glaze. A few of my favorite pieces:[ATTACH]...
You can't keep a good man down! Loved the video, and love that man's spirit. Thanks for posting it, Sjoerd.
Our first hummingbird of the spring showed up yesterday! It fed on the salvia greggii, but I put out one of our feeders as insurance. Sure enough,...
