i ran them through the worm buckets partially crushed and then put them in the gardens the next spring. i don't usually find them again in the gardens after that but i'm sure there's a few spots i could probably find them. i wouldn't be surprised if the birds eat whatever bits they can find.

no i saw that right away before even reading the caption/question...

we had a station wagon, and Mom had some smaller car before that and then after that it was a Skylark, a Chevette and a Capri which i was given when i got my license and i had that car until my first summer after my first year at college and my brother broke the timing chain while i was out west...

had the full moon to the direct west of me this morning when the sun was coming up. clear sky and sunny and the cardinal is out there singing up a storm (ok, not a storm but definitely making a lot of sound :) )...

:) I hope you will have a nice day there! :)

this morning there were three large deer out back wandering around and trying to get back out. apparently they can't remember how they got in to begin with? Mom was watching them and giving me moment by moment updates. i had to ask her to stop telling me because the last time we had deer out...

good for them! :)

yes, the more plain the cardboard is the better. black lettering. avoid any that is coated or shiny or has a lot of other things stuck to it. saves time to not have to peel off the tape or pry out the staples. worms love it though, hiding in all those corrugations...

... oh i really like that shape and color... :) very nice!

we did have some sparkles this morning but they didn't stick around too long once the sun was up.

i don't i'm a rebel without <something>...

we found out after we planted it that we both react to the sap. the many areas of it we have all sprout plenty of seedlings in the limestone mulch around the plants. we always have more starts than we can let grow. we're now taking out as much of them as we can get to them (we've hired...
