I'm sorry! I was so hoping that it went better. :(

I was out at the dairy on Monday and saw a huge pile outside the barn. I bet that was your pile. Wow! You should have incredible veggies this year. I'm going to finally get my stuff in today. Up here on the hillside it takes longer for things to warm up.

You said they were on gravel with just hay on top. That confuses me. I thought you planted on top of fresh manure. I'm getting ready to plant my taters and still don't think I have my mind around what I am suposed to do. I have plenty of stuff to muck out of the coops and old hay. Can you...

I am forever getting grease slattered on me from frying bacon or eggs and like Paula, I never wear an apron. I should get into that habit, but until then I am stuck getting the stains out. I have been successful at removing them using Ronsol lighter fluid. It has a small tip that keeps me from...

Palm oil can occasionally be found at the grocery store (not walmart) on the baking isle. I found a house brand of shortening that said "no trans fats" or some other bragging point. When I carefully read the label I found that it was predominately palm oil. You can also find palm oil at some...

That is a scary amount of sugar. I think you could easily cut the sugar in the filling in half. Or atleast cut it back by 1/3. Such experimentation would give you a terrific excuse to make them again. Of course, you should make them for Sunday Potluck so you aren't stuck eating them all if...

One of my dear friends was all excited about this guy she had met online that had "so much" in common with her. I told her she should have him checked out by my friends hubby who is an agent with the FBI. She jokingly relayed my concerns and idea to this guy and never heard from him again. Be...

I decided to give this cleanse a whorl so I could report how it went to DH. He is rather discomfort averse. Other than the Epsom salt solution tasting bitter and the many trips to the loo, it is not that bad and sure works. Since I didn't die, DH is willing to give it a try starting tommorrow...

Our local Sam's Club will gladly give away all the buckets I can carry. In their bakery they go through about 25 per week. They recycle them, but if someone comes along and wants some they are happy to recycle them that way as well. And they have been rinsed out too which is nice. Other places...

I've been to the ER twice in the last week with DH. They think he has gall bladder trouble. My friend told me her DH had used a natural cleanse to pass his stones and that he was so much better for it. I have been digging around on the web to see what is suggested. Basically it uses Olive Oil...

I don't currently have a hive although I keep dreaming of when I can. When I was growing up in South America we had trouble with the Africanized bees coming in and taking over hives. They were so frenzied that they produced little honey. We also had problems with moths coming in. That was back...

Sounds good. The kids think they are so cute---reminded them of what their ducklings looked like last year. What surprised me about muscovies was how sturdy they are compared to chicks. They aren't too hard to sex. Also, they grow fast and in the next couple of weeks one may look bigger. If...

You are so welcome!! What did Steve decide about keeping them vs sending them back?

If this type of hive were used in say South Texas, what would you do to keep the Africanized bees out?

I just noticed this post. How are things coming now? Anyone out?

I'm not bragging or anything...... :lol: Okay, maybe I am :hide She is more adorable in person than her pictures show. :weee

I have heard of Queen bee excluders. What are they and how would they work with this system?

I also hate my thighs rubbing. Kwik Sew patterns has an easy one piece pattern for long and short winter under wear that is way easy. I made the short version out of cotton Lycra with reglar elastic at the waste and stretch lace at the bottom. They are very comfy and even look nice. Solved my...

Paula, I am SO very sorry. You have been on a rollercoaster of really high highs and dismal lows. I am so glad you are back in good health. Being healthy makes such a difference when emotional news hits. I'm praying for you and your Dad.

But what about the pictures? :hide
