    Veggies

    Wheat grass is the only thing I've been able to grow reliably and that is in containers. We don't have any topsoil so we have to buy all the soil for a garden, that is also expensive but I would definitely like to grow more! I've tried moringas twice but they wouldn't take. I'm going to try...

    Veggies

    We are in the desert and the ground is just empty dirt so there's nothing for them to forage. In addition to their feed pellets we give them fresh or frozen fruits and vegetables nearly every day: spinach, kale, broccoli, wheat grass, corn, peas, blueberries, cantaloupe, etc. Keeping chickens in...

    What's the temperature where you are???

    Ack! 59° and raining hard with thunder and lightning at 3:00 P.M. 😬 The dogs are under my desk. Here are some photos from earlier today. The Tour goes through town and many people just stay home until it's over because it plays havoc with car traffic, some call it the Detour of Tucson. 😄 The...

    Why does your chicken hate you today?

    Thanks! :hugs We currently have the flock separated into four pens: one group of three (the biggest bullies, including the alpha), another group of three (sisters who basically get along with each other), one hen who has to live on her own because she was being bullied so badly no one would let...

    I'm so old I Remember when:

    If I remember correctly, pagers started out being used by doctors, both in and out of hospitals (didn't some of the doctors in the House, M.D. tv show still have pagers)? A friend of mine who worked for the Red Cross had one so he could be notified in case of emergencies. Then pagers got really...

    I'm so old I Remember when:

    Well, that's not fair. We didn't have split girls/boys classes in my school. Everyone was required to take a semester of shop and a semester of home ec, usually in the same year, I think it was eighth grade. I wish shop had included auto mechanics but it was wood working. You picked a few...

    What's the temperature where you are???

    74° at 1:00 P.M. The wind is picking up and clouds are slowly coming in and the Tour doesn't close until 4:30 P.M. The forecast still says rain isn't expected until 5:00.🤞 We always need rain in the desert but wait just a little longer, please! Not everyone out there is a hard core cyclist...

    What's the temperature where you are???

    59° and clear with 61% humidity (yay!) at midnight. High today of 73° for the annual Tour de Tucson bicycle race. Might rain in the evening but the event should be over before then. On a related note, they just opened a one-of-a-kind 250-meter Olympic standard 42-degree banked aluminum...
