It finally hit the low 40's here. 42.4 for a high that lasted about 2 seconds, hovering around 41 for the past half hour. It's finally getting more snow to melt and the wind has died down somewhat, it's darned cold blowing across the snow out there! :/ But that same snow is getting tougher to...

HI Garden Geisha, sorry no one has replied to you yet, I'm replying now though I'm from Michigan just to bump the post higher so more people can see you. Also, here's the old Mississippithread you can try posting on to see if anyone responds. I've managed to revive the Michigan thread just by...

I live IN a cedar swamp so I know exactly what you mean! I hate coating myself daily in bug repellent but I seem to have no other choice, especially with those dang deer flies as they seem to bite through anything! :/ 25.7 here so far, and looks like a breeze has picked up, maybe it's bringing...

Thanks for the info, I may give it a whirl one of these days. After I get the garden started, buy some chicks, etc, etc, etc. :/

That is a nice set of leaves.

How long do you bake them for? same time as a regular cake? Also you put the lids on hot? won't they steam? :P

Last year a couple huge red pines came down on the neighbor's property, he didn't want them so helped DH cut them to length, drag them to a spot next to our driveway. DH cut a couple other trees down, think one was a maple, and hired one of those guys with a portable saw mill to do it. Second...

I have to know, does it advertise it as such? Or did you ust find out by accident? :lau

I like rice crispy treats but don't have any rice crispies. Did get a box cake mix out of the basement, we've been over snacking at night and for some reason a nice piece of cake usually satisfies the sweet tooth. Up to 30 here now and the wind is indeed howling like mad. Birds refuse to leave...

And another Good Morning, Campers, to you! Temp is 28, dropped to 12 last night, had a dusting of snow. Fed the birds, the dogs are outside, having a glass of orange juice. Decided to put off the Alpena trip to next week, chicks can wait, next week they're talking 50s and 60 degree temps all...

You never know what you can do till you try. A few years ago I had a new kitchen faucet to put in. I'd wanted a new one for years, the old one leaked. Knew what I wanted, bought it and put it in myself. Took hours longer than if DH did it, and when he came home he did take pity on me and make...

32 here. So much for the predicted high of 45. *snort*, got to 38 for a couple minutes but the wind has been pretty high. 25 tonight, 34 tomorrow and then 14 tomorrow night. Well I may not have gotten to Alpena today for pots and dirt and chicks but I did get to watch Ziggy play with a new puppy...

We continued melting here last night and my snow covered walk to the coop is now an ice covered walk, totally the opposite of yours. Have to use my special boots with the hex head screws in the bottom. We hit 59.3 yesterday, it is now 34.3. There is some kind of crap coming this way, so it's...

Not so great a memory, I only remember when bad things happen. :/ oh and here on the north side of my chicken coop, it reached 59.3! I like it!

No, I think you're quite sensible. One of my neighbors did something I thought was very smart. When her daughter turned 13, she bought her a tracfone and some initial minutes but if the girl used up her minutes willy nilly she was out of luck unless she did chores, and as she got older got a...

Glad your power is back, good to see you! Very glad you had a generator, we don't and I wonder why sometimes, but the last time we were without power longer than 24 hours was 5 years ago In winter, of course. I won't go into why I remember when it was but I do, and it was miserable. Had to keep...

For the rain fall amounts there are more brown colors than there are letters. Does the light brown in MI mean just slightly above normal then? It was too wet last spring so my taters never went out, and my spinach and lettuce was planted too late. Spinach never did a thing and lettuce bolted...

GOOD MORNING CAMPERS!!! :rainbow-sun It's sunny outside, it's over 34 for a temp and supposed to hit 41, are we all happy and sun-shiny and raring to go? Anything gardening-y going on with you today? I want to get my lights set up for all the tomatoes I'll be planting shortly. It's too dangerous...

I was rudely awakened this morning by the sound of great chunks of icy snow dropping from the trees onto the deck. Yesterday's high was a sunny 25. Today it is already 34.5 and still rising. They're talking 41 today and 55 tomorrow! :weee And after walking the dogs where will I be? Probably in...

I'm eating a cherry gumdrop. Hey, it's red at least.
