She never gets old. First lady of comedy!

The first of pea shoots harvested from my tiny grow kit. My typical small salad that I snack on before falling asleep, in front of the TV. This one is a mix of cherry tomatoes, cucumber, green peppers, avocado, carrots and a spoonful of cottage cheese, with oil/vinegar dressing sweetened with...

Usually in late fall as the garden is winding down, is when I'm inspired to draw up a garden plan for the next year, based on what did well and what I want to plant again. That is when I pour over the garden catalogues and look at their online websites. It's good that I write this down...

That's a good idea. I've done that with sprigs of mint to put into iced tea.

Her mention of the importance of living things requiring care, pets and/or plants, is spot on. I'd be lost without my two dogs. I've always lived with animals, although the pet population here is at an all time low compared to previous eras. Life would be desolate without them. A cat lady...

As one who values solitude second only to autonomy, this speaks to me.

Nothing you do would surprise me, Baymule! Now we all want puppy pictures when the time comes. It reminds me of a photo a lady from an organic farm posted once on FB of her 3 children witnessing for the first time a cow being artificially inseminated. Each had a reaction that she said...

This seems an ambitious project. Let us know how it goes. It will be really cool if you can harvest tomatoes indoors. I've used my own little grow kit to start tomatoes in early spring, but by that time there is more solar warmth in the room.

That's such good news.

So has B40 finally warmed up to her baby? Will she now allow the little one to suck, or do you have to tie her up and subdue her for each feeding? What a life you have! It exhausts me just to hear about one of your days!

Good luck to you. I hope your indoor tomatoes will grow strong and prosper. Late blight is so discouraging. When it hit my area, I stopped growing tomatoes altogether for a number of years. When I installed raised beds I gave them another try, and so far, so good.

Yeah, I gave up the period after "etc" too. I think texting generated a lot of dropped punctuation marks (although I don't even have a phone with texting, so go figure).

Love those sunflowers! I grew red ones one year too - just beautiful!

I find myself getting the bug to grow things now that the outside world is lifeless, cold, and snow-covered. The Christmas tree has been filling my need for living plant-life with its delightful smell, but today's project is to undecorate it and fling it over the porch railings, to be hauled up...

Its purpose is not to indicate a pause in the spoken sentence, but for clarity in the written word. "I'd like to thank my parents, Jane Carter, and Alex Macintyre." makes it clear that the speaker is thanking 4 individuals, whereas "I'd like to thank my parents, Jane Carter and Alex...
