Sjoerd, You mentioned that you'd like to see some of our dragonflies. This was the only one I could get to pose! The photo isn't nearly as good...
Yesterday I found out how to get the dome light (the light that comes on when you open a door) to come on! Funny how reading the manual really...
That is utterly amazing! I wonder of the tree has natural outgrowths that can be carved without damaging the cadmium layer. However the carvings...
Our 2002 car had 150,000 miles on it, so we traded it in. We now have a new car. Oh, joy. I drive the truck, which goes forward, backward, and...
S-H, I think I'll try to get some seed and see if the butterfly pea will live in Texas. We keep bees, and are always on the look-out for flowers...
Gail, may your birthday be as special as your garden, and we wish you many more!
My stars, hornbills! What a great sighting, and the photo is fine--gives us the outline of the birds, especially that fabulous beak. The variety...
Naturenanni, try calling the closest university to you and ask about your Downy's survival chances. Failing that, perhaps there is an Audubon...
You certainly have a way with birds! To be able to get so close to a Downy, and to take such great photos means you are doing everything right. I...
What a great video! Tell me, do you put out tiny bars of soap and fluffy towels, too? I miss bluejays. We occasionally had them when we lived in...
S-H, we plan to paint the tanks to prevent both algae growth and also to protect the polypropylene from sunlight degradation. I wanted a tasteful...
I had recently posted on Gardening Other forum about harvesting rainwater. Here is a photo of our latest addition--two 250 gal. tanks that collect...
Considering your colors, I think white would be a good contrast. Instead of paintings/prints over the bed, how about a grouping of plates? You...
S-H, the milk can is about 3' tall, so hanging it would be a head-bonker! I do like the idea of hanging unusual containers with vining type...
I'm jealous, too! When I fire up the washer, everyone in a mile radius knows I'm doing laundry. If you are in the same room with it, you need...
PJK, welcome to the forum, and you are right--Toni does give good advice. She is known here as an "enabler" in that she gets us all hooked on...
Well Toni, it seems fall has arrived! I saw that areas of North Texas were under a frost warning for last night, and when we got up it was 49...
That's a waxwing! They are one of the few birds that overeat-they stuff themselves until the food source is gone. What their bodies don't need for...
Oh, Gail, that is priceless! Thanks for sharing (I forwarded it to my husband at work and it will make the rounds of the office, I'm sure).
Somebody is missing a lot of socks! That is so amusing--and warming for your squash!
