Please accept my sincere sympathy on the loss of your husband. We missed you, and are so glad you are back. Is the new grandbaby a girl or boy, or...
A warm welcome from central Texas! Tell us where you are and what you like to grow. We'll all chime in with advice, suggestions, and sympathy (if...
Happy Birthday to a valued Stewie! May your day be happy, sunny, and filled with joy.

Netty, I love the photos of your garden--reminds me of the gardens we had in upstate New York! Sometimes I miss the greenery, but then I think I...

Happy Birthday, Barb, and may your hens give you lots of birthday eggs!
If we don't fall off these, maybe we can get on the big horsies next!

Syd, the tail folded is small, but when they get ready to fly and do the "walk on the water " dance, it fans out and is larger. Gadwalls and...
[IMG] This is a Canvasback--not our photo because we couldn't get close to the ones in our pond. This is from National Geographic.
I have chicken stock and beef stock in ice cube blocks stored in zip bags. I use that 'whack 'em" process to get a few loose to use! We reuse zip...
Syd, your photos are magnificent, and your paintings are absolutely lovely! Such talent, behind a lens or behind a brush.
