This is something I wrote a few years ago and it still fits, so I thought I'd post it here. Garden Diversity Our farming ancestors grew much of what they needed themselves. They saved seeds from plants that produced well, survived harsh weather, or had less insect problems. Eventually...

Stay warm up there! I just took a hot shower so I wouldn't need it later when the temp is lower. I'm gonna dig out all the lap blankets too- just in case. I found out using a blanket out underneath the sheets keeps the cold air from getting you through the mattress. The sheets don't feel icy...

"Monkeygirl!" I greeted. "Meow", she replied. "Screw this weather, baby! I said. "Lets go back to bed." "Meow", she replied. "Maybe if we sleep long enough, we will wake up in a world more worthy of being graced by our involvement in it." It was an arrogant, malcontent, anti-social, and selfish...

GhostRider65 Back when we were younger, my husband wanted an underground house, so I did some reading on them. I used to joke that we could build a cabin and let him live in the basement. I was more concerned with wanting a lot of natural light. Since then, I have worked on designing my...

Okay - I feel lazy now. I didn't do any housework tonight because of a bad toothache. I'm just up now having a cup of herb tea to help soothe it, then laying back down.

Congrats about the insurance claim. :) Woo hoo! What will you be using for bee forage plants?

Wanna trade gardens? Your's sounds wonderful.
