way sweet. I love ginger cats.

oh blackbird, that is so awful. wine might be an excellent idea. I had a friend who had a serious case this summer and the drs gave her cotton gloves to wear so she didn't spread it as easily. be careful!

dace, I'll tell you how it is. I am going to start keeping hatch marks. skunk 6, me 0 woke up to skunk (that means, wake up gagging) at 2 am. figured it was outside, and shut the window in the bedroom. rolled over. still stinky, drift off, wake up, gag, shut another window. repeat. 3 am, 6...

Gina, the blackberry cobbler was so good for breakfast that tonight I'm having it for supper! half my cupboards are out on the table and counter because of chasing mice. when I catch them in a trap, I introduce them to the cats. One of the cats is starting to get interested....never ever...

awww, OFG, that just sucks. Makes me wanna be there to give that woman a piece of my mind. I take it you are chewing your tongue into hamburger trying not to say what you are thinking? I take it the things his mom says go right over your husband's head? wow. you just might need a honey...

yeah, I've had an awful lot of blossom end rot which I've never had before on the tomatoes. I think it has been so wet - the green beans are limp with too much water too. I have an apple tree that is just a few years old and its leaves are all yellowed, I think it is drowning. definitely a...

wow, thats a lot going on :hugs

sure wish I could borrow your goats! I have a patch of poison ivy creeping into the blackberries, and I want it gone. I don't know how to get rid of it, but I've heard goats eat it right up. true? before I could get goats, I would need a shelter. gets kind of cold here.

I'm thinking the probiotics have to be applied, not ingested, to help with the yeast infection - just a thought. No fun Dace, hope things improve soon!

day off started with two good friends over for wild blackberry cobbler for breakfast, hot out of the oven, with ice cream, of course. that chicken with the problem? she had a prolapsed vent, I tried helping her this morning with a warm water bath and with popping it back in but back it came...

ok, they are winning. 1. went to check on the chickens still in work clothes, see a hen in trouble, go to hold her while I take care of a problem and splat! chicken droppings on my shirt. 2. into the house to find a sudden mice invasion - suffice it to say that when I went to make supper...

geesh, did I hear "peaches" AGAIN???? I'm really feeling your pain, Denise, with the peaches for breakfast, lunch and dinner - must have been a pretty traumatic day ;) glad I'm not the only one who is scrounging for dinner when bedtime rolls around. so much to do! when dark drives you in...

I vote for an immersion blender. With it, making soups is so easy - I used to hate having to try to pour hot soup into the blender, spattering everywhere, having to dump the blended soup into a container while I got more soup out of the pot into the blender, repeat, repeat, and then having...

went to a garlic festival in southern mn yesterday - prices were HIGH - up to $3 for one head of garlic. there were supposed to be 104 varieties, but I didn't see that many. garlic ice cream is yucky!!! It was fun, though - and lots of small garlic growers and their families there, and...

Hi Jax, even though I was plenty scared during that storm, I'ld have to say that I think the chances of getting injured during a tornado are nothing compared to your chances of a serious car accident. some trailer parks have a community storm shelter I wouldn't worry about which side of an...

I don't know why I never did this before, but tonight I made homemade tortillas. yummy, and went great with a little beef, onions/tomats/peppers from the garden and cheese, of course. feel a little silly, its gotta be like bragging that you made your own salad dressing - why would anyone buy...

tortoise, hope it dies off before it got to you. right now the sky is clear, and I just splashed my way to the coop to turn the chickens in for the night and get eggs. I love my rubber boots! had to wade down the driveway to get the mail, and it was deeeeep. not sure how driving out will be...

oh good. I didn't grow corn this year, but I've done the "prop em, heap dirt on em" method of getting them more or less upright. But how the heck do you do it when the ground is more or less soup? sitting here with the lamps on because it is too dark to see. it is 62 degrees out, amazing...

yeah, I took a nap and woke up to more thunder/lightning/wind/rain and rain and rain. standing water everywhere. good thing I don't have a basement, it would be...full of water, I think.

tortoise, does that put you near luck? its pouring and pouring and pouring. water has no where to go, ground is already saturated. hit 5 inches and now the gauge is overlfowing. temp has dropped to 67 so that feels good. no wind, hope it keeps that way blackbird, was that corn in the...
