Donna, I don't know where you get the time and energy to do all that you do! Your Christmas decorations are so lovely, and so personal. Thank you...
Cheryl, we give 1 lb. jars to friends and neighbors; use a bit of it ourselves; and sell the rest. You wouldn't believe the demand for "local"...
Carolyn, it sounds as if you have been there, done that! No squished bees-it's my job to gently brush them off the frames, and make sure they are...
Like you, Koszta, I go for the subtle approach. I got the hardware store catalog, opened the page to chicken feeders, and glued chicken feathers...

Jerry, once in a while you get a rooster with an attitude. Our first batch of chicks had one rooster--Cyrus. He was mean with a capital M! He...
