    Coffee's Ready, Come and Sit on the Porch

    This concrete patio/sidewalk thing is driving me nuts. Local guy (like 2 miles down the road) went small on everything and says he is cash only. Had a another (5th!) contractor come out for an estimate last night. He actually said he would not pour a set of steps we requested for the sliding...

    Coffee's Ready, Come and Sit on the Porch

    I need to get a better set of binoculars, move the feeder closer to the house, or install some sort of a feeder cam. Today, I saw a rose-breasted grosbeak and several house finches. Should probably start a birding log.

    Frugal Gardening: Growing Your Own Food Without Breaking the Bank

    Focus on items that are easy to store/preserve. A bed full of lettuce in June won't feed you in December. Support your local farmers if you have space or effort limits. Editorial comment: embrace seasonal availability. some of us are old enough to remember our grandparents only being to get...

    Coffee's Ready, Come and Sit on the Porch

    31 degrees this morning. Grass is unmowed, standing puddles in the yard, grass is 6+ inches high, dandelions in seed, and frost everywhere. Happy May!

    Coffee's Ready, Come and Sit on the Porch

    Yeah, I think I have logged over 1,000 hours over the past two years, mostly in winter and cold damp dreary days. Fun game

    Coffee's Ready, Come and Sit on the Porch

    This being cooped up is not helping my Stellaris addiction. At least the gaming setup is positioned so I can look out the window after work is done for the day

    What did you do in your garden today?

    It appears two or three asparagus crowns died. What stalks were growing are now dead. Only harvested a fraction of my sunchokes from last year. The bed is covered with new growth from what I left untouched

    Egg Hatching and Keeping Chickens

    Last fall, I gave the neighbor the rickety mobile coop thing the previous owner left for us. The grandpa rebuilt and strengthened it, and they have a small flock. I now get to hear egg songs in the morning. If I can get the garden going, I will check to see if I can give trimmings to her to...
