Tooty, the expression "sister-in-love and daughter-in-love" is so nice and heart-warming. I am sure they refer to you as "mother-in-love and...
Don, your photo looks like a Christmas card! I hope your Thanksgiving is warm, safe, and full-filling :wink: .
Thanks to your photos, I've seen birds that aren't native to our area, and don't even pass through on migration. Your avatar, as always, is lovely!
Sherry, those are great photos, and it is amazing the variety of birds you have. We had our first junco of the season last week, and this week...
Great photos! We have Cooper's, but never have gotten such a great picture of one. Did the bluejay faint?
Happy Tuesday, all! I have clothes on the line outside, bread dough rising, and the chickens are eating up the remains of the vegetable garden....
Thank you for the good wishes and the lovely card, SusieQ. Thanksgiving is one of my favorite holidays because it involves cooking--lots and lots...
Kiasmum, the quilt pattern here in the states is called "Friendship Star", although it may have other names. I'm working on one called "Road to...

That is so lovely! I would dearly love to have something like that in our pond to aerate and prevent "turn-over", but way too expensive for a...
When we lived about 50 miles south of here, in a town of about 9,000 people, there were two clothing stores, a hardware store, an auto repair/tire...
I call this my "Sophia Loren" look.
Yes, do cut off the damaged fronds--they will provide habitat for fungus, as well as looking pretty sad. Ferns normally lose their leaves and have...
Butternut squash are winter squash, which means they are long keeping. You can just stash them in a cool spot and enjoy them for weeks or months....
WooHoo! I just checked my Christmas cactus and it has buds, teeny tiny buds, but they are flower buds! It may actually bloom around Christmas...
Like Netty, this was my errand day to town, but I didn't have to worry about losing my undercarriage in a snow drift! I picked up 50 lbs. of...
We have a wood-burning stove in the living room, more for enjoyment than for heat. However, when the electricity goes out, we stay warm and I can...
