I was baking a batch of cornbread the other day, and a friend stopped by. The cornbread had just come out of the oven, so I cut a piece, slathered...
Husband mowed the paths to the pond, and then weed-whacked the front yard edges. This afternoon we mowed the back yard (joint effort) and hauled...
Well, in town we found the shoes of a five-legged horse (we did find five shoes, and the natural assumption is . . . .). Here we've found bits of...
Mandevilla is a bit tropical for your area--it's even iffy here in central Texas. It is lovely, but one good cold snap and it could be gone for...
Well, this is the day that is named after me--April Fool's Day! I'm enjoying it by cleaning house. I had hoped to get the second planting of...
Purple, as usual, gave good advice. Honeysuckle, especially since Ed likes it so much, is a good choice. Jung's (www.jungseed.com) has two...
Happy Birthday! What a great time of year to have a birthday--everything is springing up and growing, and I hope you are, too!
Ronni, I think you are right. Boxwoods don't respond well to severe pruning. If perhaps a foot was removed from their height this spring, and then...
Netty, I read your post about today's plans, and immediately went back to bed! Girl, you have plenty of energy already--you are putting the rest...
Good heavens, I had no idea potatoes were so musical! Josh Selig has a very inventive mind. Thank you for the concert--I may play a couple of...
Mercy, there are more things in heaven and earth than I dreamt of! Thank you for explanation. Otherwise, I'd be awake at 2 a.m. wondering what a...
Don't you have anything in a larger denomination?
Just got in from cultivating the onions, potatoes, squash, broccoli, and cucumbers. Why do the weeds grow so much faster than my vegetables?...
Tooty2 shoes, I sympathize. We had a friend who slowly descended into the twilight world. It was difficult to see, but we did laugh at some of her...
Fortress Julia Child was not breached by the Midnight Marauder last night! Everything was in place--no holes, no digging, and no damage. I don't...
Good caption for a great photo! Congratulations!
Sjoerd, no parade, no banners, and definitely no dinner on the grounds! I do like the idea of the pick-up truck with music blaring while I deliver...
2ofus, I'll try moth balls--they worked around some tree seedlings I'd planted in the ground, but I'd forgotten about their efficacy. Thanks for...
Mines, yes! Why didn't I think of that? Mines are probably cheaper than cannon. Jerry, we lost at the Alamo, and I don't want to encourage...
Eileen, I think it might be a skunk. That is why I haven't sat on the patio with a rifle over my knees. I'm a terrible shot and if I just scared...
