Happy Birthday! May you have many more, and each one better than the last.
My wonderful (and clever) husband bought me a mini food processor last year. I can't imagine living without it! I use it to mince herbs, cut up...
Richie, Glad your Rose of Sharons are doing well, and that you credit the advice you've received here for part of their health. Since you have...
Evil Roy, Sailors in the Caribbean have eggs stored as you described, rubbed with Vasoline and stored in a dark hold. We were on a catamaran that...
Thank you for the update on your roses. More water, a bit of TLC, and they are responding--good news! It is so nice to hear how things turn out.
Eileen, That cat probably has "Here, birdie, birdie" in its vocabulary, too!
At the Austin Botanical Gardens, they have butterfly feeders--a flat platform hanging from a tree or shrub, filled with rotten fruit. The...

Cheryl, Yes, a toad in the garden is a wonderful thing! We have a ceramic pot turned upside down near an old stump. Since there are pot plants...

Cheryl, We have two types of "puddling stations" for our butterflies. One is simply a rock with a slight depression in it, that I spill water on...
I like my eggs fresh from the nest, over easy. Our hens keep us and most of our friends well supplied with eggs. Soft-boiled eggs MUST be tapped...
You could set out lawn chairs and sell tickets to your yard!
Now THAT looks like a recovering crepe myrtle. I think you have saved your tree!
FBG. It was cool enough to enjoy grilling last night, and I had a pork butt in the fridge. I gave it a dose of your rub and let it stand in the...
La, I hope the cows next door don't see this video--we have a similar bolt on the gate between the fields. We've had two steers who jumped the...
Good on you, Cheryl! When I saw the weather map on the news, I thought you'd be getting wet. Could you put a rain barrel off the workshop?...
Toni, Great finds (or did they find you?)! I'm envious. I am also getting the "plant hunting" itch. Gee, thanks a lot . . . .
Ditto to Toni's post. We'll keep you in our thoughts until you can give us the good news about the biopsy.
