There are some benefits to being in a drought. We are getting a large number of great white egrets at our diminished pond. It would seem that ours...
I can't pick just one! I like Pinetree Seeds for small amounts of vegetable seeds; Artistic Gardens for herb seeds (they have 35 cent sample packs...
Donna, Take care, be safe, and we'll all be looking forward to seeing your "return" post!
Jerry, you certainly don't need a paintbrush and canvas to paint a picture! We have wild turkeys here, but they stick to the Sandy Creek area,...
Happy Anniversary to a really "golden" couple!
Yup, those are scary photos. We had something similar when we moved in here--7foot tall weeds, thistles with stems as thick as your wrist, and...

I just saw the report on Reuters News. No injuries reported, but structural damage to some buildings. I'm trying to get through to my...
God bless those little wasp eggs! Beautiful sight, almost as good as seeing a bird eating a grasshopper.
Your mom has a green thumb, and an eye for beauty! That is just lovely. Lucky birds, dining surrounded by such elegance.
You were on vacation and you were up at sunrise for six days in a row? We love gorgeous pictures like those, but you shouldn't sacrifice yourself...
Thank you all! I am in the market for a slow cooker/crock pot and I wanted to make sure I understood what they are. Turns out it is what "they...
