many years ago i dropped a glass that bounced up into the air and then exploded. resonance frequency issue for sure. big mess. glass everywhere.

almost every day here starts with nearly or 100% humidity during the warmer seasons - as the day goes on the humidity can drop (as of 2pm it says 56% humidity and 78F). once w*nt*r kicks in we can have lower humidity to even where static electricity and too dry sinuses become issues.

you do it with your goats just with a lot fewer numbers and more control over the daddies. :) with beans in some cases i can only guess at who the daddies might be (from among all the beans i grow that season). for me the biggest constraint is how much my body can do in a given day and...

when you leave it up to chance and bees... beans are normally self-fertile and won't cross unless there's bees or other insects moving pollen around (or you get a random mutation which doesn't happen often, but can...). had i steadier hands and eyes that could see what i'm doing i could have...

pizza today, we take a small thin crust frozen cheese pizza and add extra onions, mushrooms and swiss cheese. it is enough to feed two to three people.

continued picking dry beans and weeding while i'm there (every little bit helps). while this sure isn't a bumper crop by far it is still better than nothing.

they are and the plants are so nice too when they flower and have beans on them. :) i still have a ways to go with these seed lines but this is a lot of progress for six growing seasons and leaving it up to the bees and chance to do the crosses for me. i didn't see my first crosses until the...

i wish Mom would eat it but she won't touch it. i prefer it to veal parmesian and really also enjoy some babaganoush and many other dishes besides.

making progress on my Purple Dove project. you can see many beans in these pictures that look like variations of Purple Dove but do not have the yellow ring around the eye. what i need to continue to do is to keep growing these out and noting the habit, flower color, pods and seed coats and...

ask him what his favorite cookie is...

spaghetti out of the freezer for the past few days. took some chow mein out of the freezer for today.

yum! @Finnie :) after i get the jars sealed and cooled completely i put the date/batch number on them and shake them a few times to get the air bubbles out and to settle the contents down into the liquid. tomatoes are pretty easy considering how much they can produce and i love the flavor they...

oh dear...

aloe vera gel, apple cider vinegar, tea tree oil lotion and tea tree oil full strength. those usually take care of a lot of things.

same here, we also grind up bologna with pickles and onions and sometimes cheese too and use that as sandwich spread or broil it on good bread.

these were given to us, neither of us like them enough to ever buy them. but they did happen to work for this dish. purely optional. maybe potato chips or pretzels would work for you better? :)

ants perhaps can smell the water in the trap? sometimes though they do wander and try to find a new home. depends a lot upon the species...

i think i'm immune to that one as i'm listening to some other songs this morning already. :)

raining this morning, decided i wanted something for breakfast and i had some leftover tomato chunks in the fridge so i put some butter on some bread and warmed that up and then warmed up the tomato chunks and put those on the bread and we have some cheezits that we want to finish up so i put a...

i managed to get out and pick some dry beans until i was tired (and before the rains were due to arrive) and then found some tomatoes that weren't too badly cracked and ok for eating fresh. out of 9 plants i got 6 tomatoes but there are several hundred out there but all of them are deeply...
