About water drops on fires--a fire broke out near Stillhouse Hollow Lake (a man-made Corps of Engineers lake used as a reservoir) and the Texas...
Tony, have you seen raccoons in your area? Ripping the ears off and scattering them sounds like a 'coon's action. Preventing them from doing more...
Chance is adorable, but you knew that already! Just give her lots of lovin' while you're home, and get lots of lovin' back (the wet tongue,...
Everyone tells me Feliz is a big cat. She looks just about right to me . . . . We have always had BIG dogs--75 and 90 lbs. so a 12 lb. cat...
Philip, that's a great video, and of course the subject helps a lot. At about 55 seconds, the shot of Oliver looking up soulfully just about made...
That does make for a good photo, Dooley. And as a fellow Texan, I thank you for proving that things do grow bigger here in the Lone Star State....
I hate to admit that I don't subscribe to nor read gardening magazines. I guess the gift subscription I received to one put me off. However, I...
Stratsmom, brilliant minds run in the same vein (or in this case, Venetian slats) :) . I use the slats to mark trays of seedlings; mark where I...

Never throw away old Venetian blinds! The slats, cut to appropriate lengths, make great plant markers. Granted, they aren't as lovely as Carolyn's...
We have more hummingbirds at the two feeders than we've had in months. I wonder if they are starting migration? Captain, with all the wildlife...
Welcome from central Texas! Muddy paws, what's mud? Just kidding--just because we don't have rain I shouldn't get all envious. I, too would like...
Pearls, a fur coat--yes, I am one of the top dogs!
We can always use another poster, especially one who loves gardening and want to make new friends. You sure are in the right spot for both--welcome!
Can't be of help, but if you build a conservatory, please post pictures! Until then, maybe we could see pictures of your parents' conservatory?
Captain, you have a talent for humor! Great caption.
A slightly belated, but sincere, wish for a Happy Anniversary, with many more to come.
Welcome from hot, dry Texas! Please post pictures of your orchard, gardens, etc. I'd love to see something green for a change!
With so much being transient, it's refreshing to see a tree that has stood for so many years, and is still growing. I was once told by an old...
