Fascinating bird! I've never seen a black phoebe before, in photos or live. We have Eastern phoebes here in central Texas, and they are one of our...
S-H, you put my minor problem in perspective! I cannot imagine being brave/strong/calm enough to do what you did! Eileen, you would not have...
I hope the birds appreciate having a lovely bathroom! That is a great idea, and as usual, you have turned someone else's trash into a delight.
Dooley, fortunately it was my right foot, and I'm left-footed. Sorry to hear you are a fellow sufferer, but I bet you didn't hurt your foot...
Bunkie, I type about as well as I handle farm equipment--it's a "tow-behind" mower, cuts a wide swath in the pasture. Can't even blame my typos on...
Yes, I won the Grand Prize for awkward! I was pushing the tow-behind mower out of the way and somehow the thing rolled onto my foot. I was...
Wonderful, Cheryl! Now remember, ALWAYS wash your hands before going to the computer from the garden. Keyboards don't like compost . . . .
Marvelous! Your birdhouses must fly out of your wife's shop. I can't imagine seeing one for sale and not snatching it up! There's more than time...
When a university asks to use one of your photos, you know you're good! Congratulations, and I do hope they credit you.
S-H, I carried my flat of cherry tomato starts into the computer so they could see yours. I wanted to give them incentive to grow, grow, grow!...

Why didn't anyone tell me there is a degree in antique literature? I wasted all that time studying secondary education, RATS! :-x I love books,...
I think I have the title right--anyway, I just ordered a used copy because companion planting intrigues me. It sounds so friendly! Does anyone...
Oh Toni, that's so funny! My mother used to point her finger at an invading rabbit and say, "Don't do that!" Well, she figured it worked with her...
Oh my stars, that is so clever and cute! Honestly, the things you folks come up with--Pondlady with her mailboxes, Cheryl with her suncatchers,...
In September, when we are still in shorts, sandals, and tee shirts, our local stores have heavy jackets, wool scarves, and mittens on display....
Welcome to GardenStew! I admire people who can see the possibilities in "junque". I don't have that talent, but sure do enjoy seeing what others...
Toni, We report weekly to the Cornell Backyard Bird Count, and weekly we get questioned about seeing Greater Yellowlegs, snipes, and various...
Great looking fence! It will also be a windbreak for your flowers, and perhaps give them a bit of shade when needed. Toni's idea of containers...
