:lol: Very funny! My dear sweet husband did all the cooking, and served the meal, since I was resting a painful, swollen ankle, after a busy day on my feet. So, I couldn't get any photos. Tonight my ankle was throbbing again, so he cooked very simple fare: Country Style Ribs, Homemade Spicy...

We have had several meals, of our pork, and they have all been yummy. Tonight however, it was divine! So I had to tell y'all about it. We thawed out a rack of Spare Ribs, marinated them in a Vinegar Brine Marinade & grilled them. I didn't get any photos, but I wrote down my recipe, which I...

By sticky . . . do you mean the milk coming out of the cut stem is sticky? DH sait the milk IS sticky.

I'm so sorry to hear about your mother. Yes, gastric bypass patients can lose a lot of weight. But at what price? I believe that in order for our bodies to fight & heal from cancer we must have a strong immune system. A malnourished body cannot have a strong immune system. Our bodies remain...

I think that's how DH & his Dad got started. :) When we left PA, to come to TX, DH donated FIVE 5 gallon buckets full of scavenged parts. They must have weighed 25 - 30 pounds each. :ep It's killing him now that we are on the farm. Every time he goes to fix something, he says, "I sure wish I...

I just laughed the first time I saw this sign, and went online looking for one. I finally found it late last year. These are our two Maremma Livestock Guardian Dogs. That's Leon & Little Guy - two of our Nigerian Dwarf wethered goats in the background.

My son sent me this. I haven't had time to look at all 163 pages. Has anyone posted this yet?

This is when DH is the most happy - scavenging parts from a dead lawnmower motor. He loses track of time, when he is tinkering with motors, like he did, as a boy, with his Dad, who taught Farm Mechanics, at the local Vo-Tech. His advise was, "if it ain't broke, don't fix it!" However, they...

Gastric bypass surgery is a 2 edged sword. Yes, if you follow intake guidelines you can lose a lot of weight. However, when I was working as a nurse, I had patients who, years after the surgery, were going into multi system organ failure due, most likely, to malnutrition, since they did not...

Wow, @bobm! You have had 5" less than we should get in a whole year! We have had 13.75" so far, since. Jan. 1st, and we just started into Spring. After getting 72" last year, I am hoping we stay closer to our "norm".

Are you talking about the ones with the white flowers? It will be a while before the berries form. Right?

Since the last post on this thread was in 2012, I debated whether to post here or start a new thread. However, @grow_my_own did such a good job explaining her progress, I decided to keep this thread going. I did seed tapes in 2013. Well, actually I made more seed tapes than I planted...

I'm with you, Steve. Loud noises set me on edge. My hearing is amazingly perfect. So, no wearing hearing aids, for me, to dull the constant buzzing. I hated living in Dallas because of all the traffic & strange noises. Even our apartment never had quiet. I suppose the fact that the George Bush...

There are a number of different known causes, of tinnitus. However, at this time - regardless of the cause - there is no known cure. Until a cure is found, the focus is on treating the symptoms, depending on the cause. Rather than reinvent the wheel, I will refer you to the American Tinnitus...

Hey @digitS'. Is this the plant you were talking about, with flowers like Gypsophilia? The leaves are similar to Plantain, only they have a sawtooth edge.

I was out, with DH, a while ago, while he was weed eating the dry sticks, from the yellow daisies. I used to plant Black Eyed Susan. So, I think I found what I think is the Rudbeckia. The leaves are similar to Plantain leaves, but on stems, rather than growing out of rosette at ground level...

I had so much fun taking these photos! I think I made a total of 5 or 6 trips to the Arboretum. It is an awesome place! This particular day, it had rained the night before. It was 9:00 am with a light rain falling. I was so intent on the gorgeous blossoms, I hardly noticed the rain.

You may be right on all three accounts @catjac1975. If I remember correctly, the first 2 get rather leggy & thick as the summer progresses. That is in addition to that nasty bramble! This winter I noticed some fencelines, along the roads we drive regularly, with low growing, thick, burgundy...

After posting the above info, I was thinking that Magnolia macrophylla sounded familiar. Then it occurred to me. DUH! We used to go to The National Arboritum in Washington, DC and spend hours wandering around taking photos of the gorgeous plants. I have some really nice photos of what looks...
