I've always wanted to get a big Fruit cage. We have so many birds/rodents around here, it would be futile to grow any fruit without being protected....

Kay..........your planting strawberry plants reminded me of when we first moved out here to these 35 rural acres 38 years ago. I planted 100 of...

Haha.....I think it's one that I have, but haven't put it together yet. There are some puzzles of birds I'd sort of like to get, but if they have...

Hi Lainey. I've done a couple of those.........one with quail overlooking a farm in the evening, one of ducks, and I still have one I haven't done...

Official "Vegan" can't include milk, but they can make mashed potatoes out of some of the things like soy or almond milk. And there's a lot of...

Yeah, maybe something like 15 pieces. :~) I have to say, over the years, I've gotten more into not looking at the image on the box, but most of...

LOL.......so the extra pieces are to make it even harder. haha Maybe I've said this before, but I've heard of some people requesting that a...

Wow........that does look hard, especially with the pieces (I think) being all the same shape and no edges. I've never done one with no edge pieces....

Just curious Jane.........is it the prospect of having to deal with the workers if you made improvements? That's a problem with me. Oh.....then...

Maybe it was people who already lived in the housing project and won the lottery? :~)

Hey Pinkytoe.........sorry I was confused on who drew the mouse. That's amazing! I hope you continue to draw many more things (and share them with...

oops....double post

I love that Catherine, and do the same thing!

I don't know about you Jane, but almost everything concerning fixing our house feels daunting. I have lost so much energy in my older age. And like...

It's really disconcerting that so much is happening with the weather, from coast to coast....fires, drought, tornadoes, hurricanes. All that...

I know what you mean. It takes me weeks to get the house ready for company, and then I hope it's a very cloudy day when they come! If it's sunny,...

When I grew it for my chickens, I never saw a single bug on it. (which probably disappointed the chickens.....haha)

Well, I'm a puzzle addict for sure. Since I have so much body pain, I guess it's nice to just sit without pain and "accomplish" something. I've...

Oh.....is it a dreary day there? I've found that the weather really affects my mood these days.

Oh Jane, I didn't know your SO died. :( I'm sorry you're having a bad day. When my kids were young, there was a show (I think it was "Barney",...

I've discovered that it's sort of different every year, which bug likes which veggie. Sometimes it's early, sometimes it's late. LOL about the...

I was wondering the same thing herbgeek. I suppose you could nail/screw down the boxes, but I don't know if that would stress the boxes and they...

Isn't this a cool idea? I found it on the internet. You'd have to water it often, but I think it's a great idea. It's a "stair step herb garden".

SQ......I'm thinking you should see a different type of doc, not a surgeon for this kind of problem. Internist? Allergist? Endocrinologist? Sorry...

Isn't it funny how at the end of the previous gardening season, I come to the conclusion that I just absolutely, positively, have to cut back with...

Yeah, the ash borer is taking so many of them in our 35 acres. It's weird how birds can't seem to eat them all before they do so much damage. I...

So sorry for your loss. I was raised by a grove of trees and I love them. I'd suggest a fast-growing white pine, but they can be pretty fragile...

Thanks Alan!

He's a sick man.

Sounds like a good plan!

Me too! :)

Also, I saw the first 2 turkey vultures return today too. And I even saw a wild turkey!

We are right under their fly path here in central Indiana. I heard them overhead today! Beautiful birds.

Okay.....here's most of the rest of them. (Anybody know where to recycle old records?) Sukiyaki The Chipmunk Song (really old!) Calendar Girl...

I think I was about 13-14 when I liked most of these. (early-mid 60's).

LOL Alan........I just found an audio of Rosco James McClain and have no idea why I even liked it. haha Maybe I picked up someone else's record...

Yeah Alan, the only thing I remember from that song is the name that they started the song out with. Happystuff....yes, it's Traces of...

Hi Alan. Not sure if I have an old record player. We might have DH's old one, but that's for hunting on another day. haha I sure wouldn't want to...

The times that I was a little late on a bill, I just called them and explained things and they removed the fee.

Thanks for the tip, IL. Since I have gotten older, I have those splits by my fingernails all year long. I have one that is so old and calloused, I...

Simplemind........that gave me chills! :)

That's a good suggestion bae. Dollar General here I come. :) (Of course, then I'll complain about them falling off all the time). :~)

Sorry to hear this Float On.......It presents a number of different hardships for a lot of people. Good luck finding another accountant and getting...

Yeah, I'm thinking that people complained about them coming off too easily, so they switched to super glue! I can understand that being on their...

Thanks Sad Eyed Lady. I did make mine and instead of using material, I just used a sock and stitched the end, then I put it in another sock. ...

That is so true about too much night light. It really makes me sad with all the development near here, that we've lost a lot of our night sky...

:laff:

I remember many years ago when my mother stayed out here in the country to watch our children for the night, while we were out of town. She said "It...

What a lovely thing this is, that you are doing SiouzQ. Thanks for sharing it with us. (((hugs)))

Hmmm....I don't understand it being a problem....to tell someone your age. Are you reading too much into her question?
