I was told I had "incipient arthritis" in one hip. I asked the doctor if the slight limp might be from stepping down from a ladder before the...
We planted our Julia Child rose, one of my favorites. Unfortunately, some of the local wildlife has taken a fancy to it, also. Yesterday morning...
Ronni, I'm a 17 year old living in a nearly 70 year old body. So many of my acquaintances, and family, just settled down to die as soon as they...
Hank, as a lady of "some years" I do appreciate each and every one of those random thoughts. It seems that all of my thoughts are random lately ....
Ronni, when my husband and I were vacationing in Jamaica, we did some white water rafting. The guide was a little leery of having me on board...
Happy Easter y'all, and also happy spring!
Nicole, we should have warned you about the dangers of gardening. Poison Ivy, thorns, sand burrs, fire ants, Rue rash, and yellow jackets are just...
Ah, Sjoerd, you are so kind (not to mention one heck of a gardener!). You are absolutely right--this forum is about garden talk, helping one...

Hoping all is well with you, Capt., and that you have a very happy birthday!

Happy Wednesday everyone! I mowed the back yard (has it gotten bigger this year?) while husband mowed the paths to the pond. I'll be planting the...

Easter looms, and the hens are excited (egg-cited?) about a holiday that features eggs. Kevin didn't want to be left out, so he put on bunny ears...
I'm an old wife, and I've got a lot of tales to tell! There are so many "sayings" and some hold truth and some don't. One of my favorites is "red...
