    Branching Out's Seeds and Sprouts

It’s like the vampire's coming out of hiding attacking plants after winters seem so calm in comparison to spring . Your garden flowers are beautiful. It’s so encouraging to see the...

    Ducks ALIVE in 2025!

    Well live and learn that peach trees are finiky to frost. We have plenty of cherry trees and apple trees in the garden. The peach tree is a bit of a challenge in our zone too.

    To relax my hyper active boarder collies I use finger massage on their body. Tiny circles on key points. It instantly relaxes , calms and slows them down to rest and relax. A doggie spa is always effective and shows just how much dogs love to be pampered as much as humans. Luv that video...

    Concerned About Growing Old?

    I never got onto the Jean’s Fad. I just stuck to my comfy stretchy knit tight fitting slick flowers print pants. Calll me the flower child of the 70’s. Still going strong. Similar to the yoga pants today. When stretch jeans came along they were an instant hit in my wardrobe.
