whew! looks like we get a break, no rains for a bit so things can soak in. the field across the road is flooded so that's a good indicator of how saturated the area is for us... i'm sure the south field is also somewhat flooded and the River Nile (a long drainage channel along the edge) is...

last night was ok here for us but some people don't have power at the moment due to storms last night. plenty of rain here with more chances to come yet this next few days so we're back under flood watches and flood warnings. this was an interesting line in the flood warning/watch notice for...

... rock gardens ... <wry grin>

same here the two times i've grown them. winter wheat and winter rye (the grains not the grasses) do survive our winters with no problems.

she's not too hard to get along with and makes friends easily.

when you walk Nancy around the neighborhood or at the doggie park and see someone gardening or walking their doggie ask them and even if they don't have it sometimes they may know someone who does. :)

warmer has certainly been nice but the rains keep coming and mud season is here. we have flood watches and warnings again for the next several days. i keep wishing i could send this to the Colorado Rockies to help them refill those reservoirs... i'm not sure when i'll be able to get out and...

i hope ok, but i'm guessing like a cat without a scratching post...

It is a long ways from here. The patch we have was planted a long time ago and isn't doing that great now but that is because i don't do much to it anymore since we don't eat it ourselves and none of the people we used to give it to are alive any more. I will chew on a few stalks here or there...

oh, this grocery store bakery does put out plain ones too, but Mom never buys them even if she scrapes some of it off because they put on too much.

i was so good the last time that Mom bought a bunch of cinnamon rolls and i said to her please don't buy them for me any more because i am trying to avoid all the extra calories i've been getting this last few months (gaining 5lbs on top of a few others). so she did wrap them and put them in...

all of the times i've grown that one from my original sample (now gone) it has grown as a pole bean but also it has never come out as a solid blue color, it has always had some markings on the seed coat as if it was a silver pinto pattern overlay and also it's grown tall enough i'd consider it a...

yesterday's breakfast just wasn't quite worth it, we had some rice krispies and marshmallows leftover from Mom making rice krispie treats and so i just put some plain marshmallows in a bowl and then the rice crispies and some milk. nope, just not right without them being melted together with...
