I use a ton of vinegar, for washing/soaking produce and, in summer, the hummingbird feeder. I wash the dogs' dishes with vinegar because if I were to inadvertently leave a trace amount it would be better than soap. And of course I use it for pickling, and as an ingredient in salad dressing...

That is a great picture!!

As Southside Johnny sang, "Raise a glass to the comrades we've lost." Sorry for the loss of your friend. I'm afraid we are at an age where our dead friends begin to outnumber living ones.

It's less stressful for meat animals to be slaughtered on their home turf than transported elsewhere for processing, but what a lot of work! I'm worn out just from imagining your daily exploits!

I would say that if you go online and place a small order with a number of companies, you will receive paper catalogues from them all, but I'm not sure what their catalogue mailing policies are from the US into Canada. I guess it depends on the seed company.

Have they charged your credit card yet, Marie? If not, you could cancel out and buy a washer from a different store/company. It sounds like this Argos outfit has many problems. You have my sympathies. Hope it gets resolved soon.

I love "my" snakes. It seems crazy to me that so many fear these harmless, beneficial, and interesting reptiles. (The only venomous snakes in my state are Eastern rattlesnakes, but those only populate the areas with slate quarries which are not near to where I live.) I'm not generally a fan of...

Because of the drought, many trees' foliage dried out and dropped off without ever displaying any color, just green to brown and then gone. Trees that did change were mostly muted shades rather than the vibrant reds and oranges of other years, and many trees changed color early and then lost...

Wow, you're really high up! Spectacular views!

Without knowing it was National Dessert Day, I baked cookies on that day. They're all eaten now. ;-)

Two recent frosts killed most of my potted porch plants, so I emptied all the pots, except for the still-hanging-on petunias and snapdragons. The next freeze will probably wipe out those remaining plants. Time to replace them with pumpkins I guess. I relocated all my windchimes from the open...

These are really cool looking. I can see why you want these.

It's worse still when you have more dead friends and relatives than living ones.

That describes my daily attire to a tee! Womens shoes and clothes have never fit me comfortably. When our horses were still living I had two pairs of cowboy boots that I wore much of the time (since I was on horseback much of the time). They were the most expensive pieces of foot gear that I...

Luxury is overrated. Coziness and homey-ness are where it's at! If I lived nearby, I'd be a constant visitor to your cafe. It looks like heaven-on-earth to me. And your cooking.. oh my!
