getting Mom to take it easy and to let her recover and rest is very hard. she pretty much does not listen to me. which is hard later when she's complaining about pain, but in the end every person has to pick their path through life and you can help them as much as you can, but mostly i try to...

all sounds delicious. :) last night was very simple for me, i just reheated some macaroni and tomatoes and piled some butter on.

we still laugh about it. the only reason we even know it is on is that it is on before the bucket lady... (Mom likes to watch her, i just listen as i'm off to the side in my little hidey hole here - there's not enough alcohol in the world for me to deal with that sort of person - and i drink...

when my mouse/cursor is over an image/link it will show the name and a .jpg is not going to be a video (or it shouldn't be :) )...

beans? :)

the weather has certainly been great during the day here, but the nights are still cooler than beans will want so they are on hold for a bit yet. peas i need to poke in someday soon but as of yet not sure when.

a bit of frost again yesterday morning, today is no frost but some dew. probably will get out and mow today as soon as the dew burns off as there are scattered rains likely the rest of the week and it is getting long enough. it being dry enough and a nice breeze is also a good reason to mow...

same here, 5-7 over is my own "swerving suggestion" and that is on clear roads with good weather and in the daytime. i try to avoid night driving due to how many deer are running around (you see them often in the day too but at least you can see them before they jump right out in front of you)...

it was cold enough here to frost last night. i drank some hot water this morning to get started. i'll probably read for a while this morning to wait for the dew to burn off and for the day to get warmer before even thinking about going outside to get a project further along.

i remember my first trip driving across to NM from St. Louis and seeing in the distance what i thought to be a lone tree. it turned out to be a sign on an overpass.

i think i can plant some peas any time after tomorrow. the coldest night in the forecast is for tonight at 34F and one night of 38F later this week.

we were at a Thanksgiving Dinner at a church one day some years ago and we'd sat down and these four ladies i know came over and sat by us. they said they were in a hurry because they had to get back home to watch LW. Mom and i just looked at each other...

glad you got some decent rest at last there @baymule :)

i love eggs, but they don't love me. allergy shots took care of my worst reactions to them, but i can't eat a lot of them. a hard boiled egg with ketchup and hot sauce or a pickled egg is really nice once in a while. my main problem now that i'm older is the smell of washing up after cooking...

we made bean soup this morning, using left-over ham from last Sunday. a little thin and the beans could have cooked a bit longer (they were still done, but a bit firm), but it was edible. good thing as we have a large glass bowl of it to eat plus eight quarts that somehow have to be given away...

played in the dirt getting some quack grass removed - still a long ways to go but every little bit of progress helps. :) yesterday was adventures in same, plus more groundhog burrow plugging up (moving some rocks, etc.) and climbing through raspberry bushes along the bank of the ditch in...

welcome to SS from mid-Michigan. :) i saw a rather large frog yesterday but i suspect it wasn't a native.

it was a beautiful day outside. only managed three hours this afternoon but i was dragging up the pathway at the end because i'd just moved some heavy rocks, plus working on a slope and not very stable myself, so very tiring by the time i was done. groundhogs are PITA... started out by...

i was out with the air rifle to scare off the groundhog. later on it was back again and ran away but i did take a shot at it anyways just to let it know it wasn't a good idea to be around. a bit later i heard a chainsaw over on the dirt road which we share with the neighbor who owns the land...

BIG YAY! :) :) :)
