Hope you scared 'em good! I'd be furious.

Welcome Jae! Boston was my hometown long, long ago and I still have some family in the area. Looks like you have a nice large area for your garden, Love your orange flowers, cosmos(?) and marigolds. Your collection of house plants reminds me that my oldest living thing (plant) is this rubber...

You're having better luck finding things these days than losing them.

I went through a phase where I wrapped the handles of some tools in reflective tape and spray painted others with florescent paint, but the tape tended to peel off, sometimes leaving a sticky residue, and the paint reacted badly with some of the non-slip handles of others. I wish they made more...

Oops! Sorry about that, bro! I seem to have problems with gender identification on this forum. Thought BayMule was a guy for quite awhile til she posted a photo. I think perhaps because she takes on such monumental construction projects single-handedly.

Amen sister! Candy corn rocks! Remember popcorn balls? There were two kinds, one made from caramel like your mom makes, and the other a pink sugar concoction. I liked both, and very often these homemade goodies would be handed out to kids on Halloween, wrapped in waxed paper. I recall my...

Wonderful that you have such a helpful daughter. Speedy healing and happy eating to you!

I LOVE marzipan, but chocolate covered marzipan, not so much. I don't like chocolate much in the first place, but what I really detest is chocolate in places where it doesn't belong, such as in chocolate milk, or cherry ice cream or mint ice cream contaminated with chocolate chips. I guess...

Who else here loses tools (and other things) on their own land or in their own houses (or out buildings)? My most recent loss is a pair of pruning shears. I've retraced the last times and places where it was used, but to no avail. Finally I gave up and bought a replacement, but still hoping...

Beware of the thorns (as one who knows from my many past tangles with blackberry brambles). Nice tune!

I'm with you Flowerbug! I even leave the peels on mashed potatoes (unless I'm offering them to company, in which case I bow to convention and peel them). Worse still are those who remove seeds from blackberries, cucumbers, or even tomatoes. Blasphemy! These fruits and vegies are nothing...

Red Hots and Good N Plenties were my favorites and I still buy both. Cinnamon and licorice can't be beat. (Dots on paper makes me laugh recalling how the same model was used for LSD back in the hippie era.) Candies still loved that I no longer dare eat for fear of destroying thousands of...

I've never tried brewing my own mead, wine, or beer, but your post reminded me that I need to stock up on the former from a local meadery.

Welcome to The Easy Garden from Vermont! You are among friends and like-minded gardeners who love natural gardening techniques and the healthy foods we can harvest from them.

Your garden looks so neat and tidy! What does the sign say in the raised bed?

I always make a traditional Thanksgiving feast, these years with just chicken and turkey parts (pasture-raised from Northstar Bison) rather than a whole turkey that we used to get. Still with the side dishes, I make enough to eat for the week of Thanksgiving, and to freeze some for the week of...

I got only a young mom and her two kids for trick-or-treaters the other night. Others in the area have said there is a dearth of kids ringing doorbells, so I'm guessing not so many young children around anymore. Many towns are consolidating their schools and busing kids to schools further from...

That is so cool that you can find petrified wood just out in the landscape. That was one of the things I found most fascinating about the desert southwest. We have nothing like that here. Too funny about the girls' dad asking if you took them to a bar! Since you let them stay up late and eat...

The ways chosen are often not the better ways. ;-)

Yes I do remember you relating how you kicked the doggie ball and it won! I'm glad that your injury also is healing. Someone else (Steve maybe) had kicked a garage door, but I think that was in the past. "All my windows" is just one single window. For all intents and purposes it is installed...
