    I have one that fills with mud from below 😳 Need to dig it out, then add more panels deeper down sides. And bricks at bottom. Yeah "need" & "do" not the same. I feel your pain

    What did you do in your garden today?

    This week of almost spring weather is just calling me to start plants. I know not to but, it's so hard to control! Looking at boxes of seed, I also know they need to be planted with hopes of germination. Some are pretty old. Stored well but, old. I'm thinking this year is time to put out as...

    Wow, y'all with snow & cold...glad it you (sorry). I'm with FEM, warm weather person. It does snow here on occasion and usually the light stuff, a couple inches. That said, every few years we get an event with several inches -- which shuts down everything. No equipment to handle the extremes...

    Here, that's why pumpkins are raised -- to feed my livestock. Oh, I process a couple. But mainly I plan to use for feed source. Turnips, too.

    Same here. Last yr a doe had what appeared to be one black & one brown. A week later strange coloring. A month later, two dappled bucks! 😁. I really had to figure out who they were, one day.

    Another cold night & normal winter 45*. Predicted to be upper 50s all week, starting tomorrow :clap it'll be great! But, I'm cleaning & checking the propane stove then. Getting ready to turn it on next weekend. Our winter will be hitting hard after that. It's always been so -- sure this year...

    What a day you've had!! Even sore, it feels good to be done with that part -- for today, anyhow. Yeah -- colors! But he may change some, color wise! I've had what I thought was solid black become spotted & dappled. Dramatic changes. It happens.

    2026 Resolutions

    I'm not a resolution person either. But I do intend to continue to declutter & organize. Still boxes from Mom's house we sold when she had to move here. She's been gone for years now & still in boxes!! 😳😖 Plus my own accumulations. To be honest some can be burned! Paperwork she had...

    I've certainly used it that way! Very nice if power goes out. Plus the stone surround absorbs heat to share back into the room, so there's efficiency in that. And it looks nice. 😊 Electric bill way down when I use that for heat. But propane can be $$. I keep a CO2 detector in the room.
