    What did you do in the garden today?

    One of my reasons. Another reason: the seeds were "born" there; this is their 2nd or 3rd generation living here. Third reason: once I have them, I have them, and I don't need to depend on a seed company offering them for sale.

    Name 3 Things You Did Or Will Do Today

    Today I will make either yogurt or grownies. Maybe both, but probably not. :) We plan to check on the bees, since it's much cooler. Since we got a nice amount of rain (I haven't checked the rain gauge bucket yet), the weeds will come out easily, so I hope to get some weeding done.

    We had a GREAT vet, but he retired. I would have questioned him about these issues, and gotten a frank discussion. I wouldn't expect that with our current vet, really, but I might be making an assumption. I don't know how to find one who might entertain not getting yearly boosters. Maybe walk...

    Yeah, it is a lot. I don't know why they recommend flea/tick and heartworm to be year round, when we have winters like we do. Oh, right, there's money involved, isn't there? We have to, by law, get dogs vaccinated for rabies every 3 years. I had to show proof of vaccination to get her license...

    Today really tired me out. It was Freya's yearly vet appointment, and she was not happy about it. It took hubby, a vet tech, and me to hold her while the other vet tech drew blood... on the 5th try. The "calming meds" didn't help enough, and next year, we will use the muscle relaxant med as...

    Question of the Day - Wednesday, July 30th, 2025

    The Shedd Aquarium is the only one I've been to. John Ball Zoo (Grand Rapids, MI) is a small zoo, but nice.

    If it works, it's beautiful, in my opinion.

    What did you do in the garden today?

    My neighbor says all her purchased tomato plants are cherry toms, not canning. She said this happened last year too. Marked as a beefsteak, but obviously not.

    Sally's GF3 thread

    Today was Freya's yearly physical at the vet. Nobody got bit, she got all her shots, and they got the blood drawn. But it was a disaster. Even with calming meds (gabapentin), it took hubby and I and a vet tech to hold her while the other tech drew blood. Next year we will definitely use the...

    The info sheet with the gabapentin said, "two pills of gabapentin the night before," and "two pills of gabapentin and the melatonin" one- two hours before the appointment. There was no melatonin. I mentioned this to the vet, just in case it should have been in there. $1100, including 12 months...
