I've missed everything. I did, however, get most of my garden planted, shared some pots with my daughter, moved every peep-n-quacker out of the house and took DH to the hospital yesterday for appendicitis. He's home now and sleeping continually, which is good. Hope all is well on the porch! I...
I love heirloom seeds! There are two really good places you can order them from: Southern Exposure Seed Exchange and Seed Savers Exchange. They have so many options!! I've already got snow and sugar peas coming up. Garlic chives are thriving - I dug some up to share with my daughter and the root...
I'm in the same boat - I don't come on for two days and wham - 50 pages. I just can't keep up!!!
Love all those movies above!! Uhm, except Dances With Wolves...the movie was great, but Kevin Coster makes me cringe so much that I can't watch any movies with him in it anymore. Robin Hood, Prince...
I don't know about advice, but here's what I do: took an old metal stock tank that had a hole in the bottom and cut most of the bottom out. Set it outside in a line with my porch off the kitchen door. When I have stuff to add to the compost I just lean over the railing and let fly. It gets...
My jaw dropped at that one. Maybe someone's trying to tell them something.
Er. I think I'm not going to tell you that I've done it three years in a row.
I've no electricity in the chicken house to do otherwise. I wish the chick rush happened in May instead of March.
I hope you're feeling...
Yes, she said she takes one pill in the middle of the day and doesn't have to take another one for 2-3 days (supposed to be daily) and if she takes them at night (as directed) she wakes up and is so happy that nothing makes her angry and it frustrates her because deep inside she can hear the...
My husband was a farrier when he first moved here - went to school out in Nevada when he lived in CA. He is currently on pain treatment and had an MRI Saturday to find out if they need to fuse any more vertebrae in his back. So yes, many complaints about what the job did to him.
Well, I had a...
OK, I apologize, but I skipped pages 375 - 405. It was just too much and I kept getting farther and farther behind. BUSY Ladies!!
Blooie - I love the picture your grandaughter painted! It's amazing!
I love it!! It's perfect! I hope she's doing better soon, it's tough not to be home in...
Oh my, I'm starting back on page 365. Prayers to everyone who needs them. It's been a busy week. Too many chicks/ducklings in the house, too many crises for my oldest and working on taxes. Ugh.
Thank you. And I don't say that lightly.
Something was posted on the dumbest things people have said about your chickens - a link - I had a good laugh. http://www.amazon.com/Quirky-Eggminder-Internet-Connected-Tray/dp/B00GN92KQ4/ref=sr_1_46?=UTF8&qid=1395593270&sr=8-46&keywords=egg+tray...
It sounds wonderful! Just remember parents always want their children to continue to do better - and may have an older generations outlook on what is better. Moving back to the farm when their generation was doing their best to move to the city, may not be their idea of 'advancement'. I know my...
I'm so sorry. I had a beloved cat die the same way. Turns out she had been diabetic and all the vets just kept telling me to stop feeding her table scraps, which made me so frustrated, because we didn't feed her ANY. She would even turn her nose up at them.
Children are such amazing little...
Use young leaves sparingly, raw in salads or cook them as for spinach, cutting the leaves before the plant blooms. There's another one for a tisane. 1 tbsp fresh material , 1/2 tsp dried matterial, don't use a metal pot, steep 3 to 10 minutes in water brought to a rolling boil. Serve with honey...
