Happy Birthday! May your daylilies bloom, and your day be very special.
My husband has perhaps won the bird feeder contest with our local raccoons. They tore down two feeders, but he has made one that is braced and has...
Dooley, so good to hear from you! We had rain last night and this morning, with temps in the 70's. It was nice to have the house open for a good...
Carolyn, do your customers bring back empty containers for you to re-use? I ask my friends to bring me empty egg cartons, and I also get plastic...
We received 1 1/4" of rain between midnight and 10 o'clock this morning. The rain is welcome, but I am just imagining the size of the beans when I...
After the rain stopped I picked two cucumbers that I could reach without going into the muddy garden, and a big bunch of basil. I spent a happy...
