    I finally sold the chicken plucker. glad to have it gone and glad someone can use it. the Packers squeaked another one in. they should give both teams 21 points and then let them play for 5 minutes.

    Barb, glad you have such good friends. Storm doors have a flimsy spring in the handle that like to come off their pins. or break. sometimes a squirt of 3in1 oil will fix it if the spring is just stuck. if all fails, after you get sick of using the screwdriver, you can just replace the handle...

    i imagine the pine cones have to line up the long way parallel to the pick up wires. a pull behind lawn sweeper might work. Annie lucked out today. we were just getting the first tub planter lined up to move to it's winter quarters, bro Dave drove into the driveway. She hugged him and gave up...

    this is one of my radishes that i raised in rabbit manure in the raised beds. the big green grape is for comparison. the radish was not hollow, woody or wormy. i don't like the skins so i peeled it. it was mild with a sweet taste.

    Barb, you might be better off just leaving the food in the fridge and freezer. just do not open the doors during the wait time. tie a towel in the handles to remind you not to open them.
