    Who here has been watching and is a fan of "Gross Pointe Garden Society"?

    It is definitely both of these things. If not for the gardening connection and the murder mystery plot, it would just be drivel, but still, those two things keep me watching. This series wants to be like the first season of Big Little Lies, but it lacks David E. Kelley's masterful writing...

    What Did You Do In The Garden?

    A few days ago, when they were just beginning to leaf out, I trimmed the climbing rose branches that were attempting to root themselves in the ground, and also did battle with the blackberry brambles up on the hill. Thankfully the blackberries were still somewhat cowed from last year's pruning...

    Garden Hose End Protection From Corrosion or Lime Scale

    That looks like a good idea. Does the end which attaches to the faucet swivel easily? If so that could solve my problems with garden hoses that the ends do not swivel easily, and makes attaching them to the faucet difficult.

    Seems like it must be a really horrible person for them all to be on board with sticking together to cover it up. But we haven't yet encountered a character devoid of any redeeming qualities. My guess is that it will turn out that their "victim" died of some other cause, and that they only...

    I just had to resurrect this old thread to say how much I've been enjoying this series. Thanks for the suggestion, Ducks! I missed the first two or three episodes, but have been immersed in the following episodes. It's a combination soap opera, mystery, and comedy. I like the way we see the...

    What are the chances...

    In Virginia perhaps. In my state, nothing is safe outdoors until June 1st. (Conventional wisdom used to be Memorial Day, but when they changed Memorial Day from May 31st to an earlier date, I changed my planting day to June 1st.) I have sometimes planted things 4 or 5 days earlier than that...

    That re-enactment sounds like so much fun!

    You're miles ahead of me in technical and plumbing repair know-how.

    My plumber told me the same thing. He's worth his weight in gold. I'm sorry your guy moved away.

    This is why sewing machines and I have never gotten along. I hope you can find repair places/persons who can successfully repair sewing machine, washing machine, and sink plumbing.

    Baymule’s Farm

    Electricity... you can't live without it or with it much of the time. I've got some of my own electrical woes.

    Happy St. Patrick's Day

    What a strange life St Paddy had! I never knew this; thanks for the history lesson. And for the AccuRadio link. Mabel and I shall celebrate our shared ancestry from far northern isles across the seas by wearing green, and in my case the drinking of the beer later today.

    Spring is here!

    Indeed Spring has sprung! The glacier covering my back yard is now nearly all melted, I've been able to walk my stir-crazy dog around the pasture and to the mailbox, and daffodils and daylilies are staring to poke their heads out of the ground.

    BLOOD MOON TONIGHT!! March 13, 2025

    I saw it from my bedroom window. This was also the "worm moon" so named because this is the time of year when earthworms emerge from the ground, attracting flocks of robins. (One news person once remarked,"They could have named it the robin moon, but no, they settled on worm moon!")

    Thank you! That little concert was delightful. Your DD has a good point.
