the snake and nest were about 40 feet apart. the snake didn't bother the previous nest/eggs.

a killdeer momma came and is reusing the nest that was recently vacated (a week or two ago) so either it is the same birdie who lost her babies (i'm not sure yet) or a new one. alas i will need to weed the pathway near that nest sometime soon and she's not going to like it. oh and i saw the...

works for me. i did have a donut yesterday and today (with butter pecan ice-cream). once a month we get donuts - ice-cream is a bonus...

i was very happy today to finally get back to bean planting and so i was able to finish up planting one of the gardens by selecting a mix of beans from the various out crosses from last year's crops. i did not count exactly how many selections i used but probably about seven (but may be more...

i finished a garden by planting three rows of beans - in the process of doing that i also made sure to bury all my existing compostable materials that i had in trays and flats around my room waiting for me to do something with them. i hardly recognize my room - it is very strange to see it in...

corn is not a crop we do much with here, but composting and using bottom mucks from low areas is known and used by me for other crops. also noted the comment about the area likely not being forested for many of those years. around here any area not managed will revert to forest within 20 years...

the high points would be great, but i would be so glad to get home... :)

and you can tell that cat is not there voluntarily and a bit annoyed (leaning away from the dog...).

sorry to hear about your dog having troubles. in the middle of all that other stuff it must be a tough time. :hugs to all.

yesterday was the annual running of the worms finale and over the past several months i've been thinking of retiring from worm keeping and so i have not restarted the worm buckets yet and i may not until the fall or perhaps never. i did learn a lot about them from keeping them and taking care...

they look ok, if a bit bumpy which i've not seen here - normally they are smooth. the walls are not as thick like a bell pepper so meaty is not a word i'd use to describe them, but they are not a thin walled pepper either (i don't tend to like those other than the small hot ones used for flavor...

peppers all planted, on to the rest of the gardens, all need to be weeded in some ways but they're not too bad.

and if you have different sized bowls you can have a pittune.

i'd mentioned to Mom that until i was done planting beans that i wasn't really available to help her with projects until the gardens were planted. i've already been pulled away from planting about a week extra due to the glass being blown out of the lighthouse and other things she's needed help...

they have a hard enough time trimming the trees as it is... can you imagine if everyone is flying cars around? squirrels won't have a chance... there won't be any trees anywhere, all the drunks from the bars forgetting to turn, mowing down all those innocent trees. next thing you know there...

the thing is, it can be verified, that's what science does... it tests, it asks questions, it tries to answer them and then it asks others to see if they can replicate the results.

that's the least of my worries. in fact, it's so least it never existed until just meow.

@heirloomgal i was also fed up with the tulip marketers that just kept changing the name but giving me pretty much the same tulips (or they were slightly different but not enough for me to care). also the fact that my location is not great for them so it was better in the end for me to stop my...

the starts i have are usually about 15-20cm tall and already have some flower buds starting to appear. they usually end up getting to be about 50-60cm tall by the end of the season - i've never put supports in for them but they might do better if you do. the fruits are not thick walled, but...

i did not get peppers planted but we'll see if i can get them done in the morning... pretty hot and humid out there today and i did have to stop and take a break and cool off before finishing. mosquitoes are starting to appear in numbers. it's ok, i don't enjoy getting bit but they are a part...
