    They may look small now…But…You know the old saying..”The first year they sleep the second year they creep the third year they leap…soon you’ll be trimming them back, guaranteed .

    Love for flowers

    Ducks when I had my third hip replacement surgery I just planted a few dahlia tubers in pots. I could enjoy a few fav dinner plate size dahlias I have grown for years. That way I could just bring the pots and all in a cold storage place until time to bring them out again. I treat them much like...

    Thought of TEG Cat Owners

    My dog is trained on buttons. At first it’s cute and entertaining. After a while Roxy uses them to manipulate me to get her food, new toys and play with her. Sometime I put them up outta reach for a mom break. Roxy is a smarty pants. 😉🫶🏼

    🌳 Plant journal 🌲

    If it helps with your quest to level the pastures with rock , I have the opposite issue. Except it’s mounds from the moles and ground squirrels. Mowing the pastures is like riding a bucking bronco ….literally . Gotta wear a seat belt.

    A Seed Saver's Garden

    Thank you. Sounds amazing. I never fermented food before or used brine. Sounds a bit more complicated than just a purchase of hot sauce or waiting for sriracha. I like that you added pears and peaches for sweeteners. After reading up on the fermentation process it was a good way to enhance...

    Your take on music is something we have learned as we still maintain memories of some of the oldies but goodies. The dancing was also in its early stages in the early days and that has evolved too. Remember the jitterbug? The Jerk? I am soo happy that your hearing has improved. My mother also...
