yes very humid this morning. we went out with the new 'lectric toy to see how it worked as we needed some edges trimmed. i was hoping the blade attachment we got would work and it does but it also will damage things too much and Mom is not steady enough to use it reliably. so that experiment...

arid landscapes and no flood controls. you can construct all the dams you'd like in such areas and they will help for a short period of time (the sediments build up behind the dams pretty quickly) but it takes green and growing things to build the capacity to absorb more rains as compared to...

either of those are horrible choices but i am as guilty sometimes (making black walnut cookies today, just have to get them frosted). recently i had one of those types of donuts, it was sweet and nothing beyond that at all. give me a single good cake donut instead any time, no glaze or...

any GMO technologies they have put into corn are protected by license agreements that the farmers have to sign before they get the bags for planting. if you have a field of unaltered non-GMO corn next to another that is you better be sure that it doesn't pollinate at the same time otherwise you...

as much as i am facinated and like many species of ants that is one of them i do not ever wish to encounter again.

it takes real dedicated community effort to keep them from advancing. if more of the phorid fly species were already around they would have a much harder time making progress.

nice so far, did not get rained on today and made progress on tasks. weeds are on like gangbusters. i can get all the existing planted gardens weeded in a week or two but that means not doing anything to the north garden for even longer. so it goes. we shall survive even if i see the...

back out to work today, weeding and i really should get more transplants done along those edges so i won't have so many weeds to deal with, but then i also could move a yard or two of dirt back to the other garden (where transplants of thyme are coming from) and that's not weeded yet... way too...

i really like hard boiled eggs with a squirt of hot sauce on top and i also end up using some ketchup too - bite the top off a little to make a spot for the sauces to gather... this, though, is usually not a great idea as eggs are one of those things that may at times cause me troubles. still...

it rained buckets yesterday, a long skinny storm lined up so it went over us end to end and we got all of it. i don't think i'll be doing much in the gardens today.

don't feel so bad, today i was trying to get the washing machine to take some quarters but it wouldn't. the door wasn't shut all the way... to be fair Mom closed it and not me and i assumed she closed it all the way.

i could, the person i live with will fail "calm" but eventually we'd get through it ok.

a place i used to live a lot of the people took out their trash by throwing it in the back of their truck and then driving around and having it fly out wherever. yes, seriously... one of the annoying things i was glad to leave behind when i left that area.

writing a lot... just cuz... :) yes, every week, it also includes some items for recycling pickup every other week. they will also pick up a certain amount of large items from the curb (appliances, etc.) the rest of the stuff around that people accumulate is covered by a county drop off...

i used to make and give away a lot of strawberry freezer jam. now i have a few jars in the freezer for us to use and that's it. i enjoyed the work, the whole growing, picking, cleaning, making, etc, but when the critters started getting almost all of the harvest that took a lot of my...

it may be their way of making a few extra $ each sale, plus it gets people back or talking about them or ? i dunno. i'm in the camp that the first time it's a mistake and i'll be ok paying for it, but if it happens more often i'm just going to tell them that if they keep doing it it's on...

that is kind of thing that used to happen around here but not since we have a township wide trash pickup that everyone gets taxed to take care of it.

mowse, three squeeks...

who's Frank?...

well i see no message from you that the earth has ended so you are probably ok... :)
