I have a bunch of peas that are ripe now. From what I have been reading you can either leave them on the vine and let them dry on the vine or you can pick them, allowing more to grow, then dry and shell them. So, the first bunch of peas that were ripe (just a hand full) I picked and dried. I...

I think I am the only person on earth who is incapable of making anything in a crock pot. I have 4 of them and only use them to keep stuff warm during parties. Anything I actually try to cook in them turns out horrible. My mom is great with a crock pot though and she is living with us right now...

I don't have a farm, but I do have Miniature Schnauzer. He only weighs 19 lbs, but I know he'd make a good farm dog. He's very alert and loves to kill rodents. He'll take down a big ole possum like it's nothing. Don't know what he'd do with chickens though! :/

They are so cute together I can't get over it. :)

I had a big surprise this morning. I was out with the dogs and checked out my fig tree (which I've been ignoring because it's only been giving me one or two rip figs at a time). There were about 2 1/2 dozen ripe figs and probably another dozen that should be ready tomorrow. :D We also have a...

I forgot to ask a question! Sorry vacation in France or Itally?

Rabbit Blender grill, mostly 'cause it's faster hamburgers I'll take mud pies. I used to make lots of them when I was a kid. I think I'll take the do over as well. There are a few pivotal points in my life that I wish I could know what would have happened if I had taken the other path. Since...

I agree with everyone that said pay off the truck and buy the stuff you want with the money you are saving. After you have the gun and kitchen stuff you want you can either start saving for your car or paying more on the student loans or both depending on how high your truck payment was. Why...

I'd never give up my washing machine. chickens, not hogs sewing not knitting chips not popcorn peach cobbler, not apple pie :drool manicured front lawn as long as there is enough room in the back for a garden. Own your own business or work for someone else?

Thanks. There is a Joann's not too far from where I work. i think I am going to go there on my lunch break tomorrow.

OK, magazines not books canoe not kayak Bike not roller blades Moonrise for sure. I'm a nite person. Canoes, bikes, and the moonrise made me think of camping, so when camping on a beautiful clear night...........tent or no tent?

YES! (unless it's something illegal :hide ) Mountains or plainlands?

Thanks everyone! Our Wal-Mart doesn't really have a sewing section, just a small craft section with some needles and thread and no fabric or Cheese cloth. I Think I might just go to the fabric store and pick up some muslin. I had not though of that, so thanks to those of you who mentioned it. I...

OK. My hubby came in today and said that most of the oranges on the tree are ripe so now I can make some marmalade. Yeah!!! I love the stuff, but I have never made it before. I have been waiting months for the oranges to come in so I can do some canning! :D So I took out my wonderful Ball...

Haven't had anything to post lately. The eggplants are just about done. We have eaten a few more since my last post and their are about 5 left on the plant. Beans are doing well and so are the peas. Garlic is looking nice and this morning I noticed the first cucumber coming in. Baked a loaf of...

OK. I'm doing this tonight. :drool

Do morning chores, that one's easy. I don't really like the cold especially if I am just sitting there and I really kind of enjoy my morning chores. Watering, weeding and harvesting from the gardens, feeding the dogs and giving them some play time, getting things out for dinner that night, and...

I love this story. I had to email it to my husband. He loves women who are into cars. It's one of the reasons he married me! :lol: I hope I can still drive at 101!!!

:lau :gig

I'd like to answer a few of these, so here goes: get help from inlaws or go to the bank (if financial money is needed)? Bank, definitely. I know my MIL would loan us money, but I'd feel bad if she really needed it before we could give it back. Neighbors close by or way out in the sticks...
