    Who here has been watching and is a fan of "Gross Pointe Garden Society"?

    O.M.GOSH!!! WHO did they bury?!?!?!?!? They keep giving us clues--the sneaker, the quilt, the car, the witnesses--but nothing is definitive. DH thinks that they wrote and rewrote and went over this script with a fined toothed comb during COVID. I just hope that they "stick the landing!"

    They are like any other saddle...some are comfortable, a few a super comfortable (for the rider) AND some are just God awful to sit. This officer's saddle just never gives you a good ride. When our 3 DD's were at an event we had them walk our horses cool. NOBODY wanted to ride the officer's...

    Organic gardening 2025

    You might just use some small fenceposts, build you walls with chicken wire, and make a gate. No electricity needed and most dogs aren't likely to jump inside of your enclosure.

    It has over 30 FLOWERS on it. I think this is why the expert said only Apple Trees should grow here! The apple trees and the cherry tree and the pear tree ONLY have buds. NObody told my peach tree to Wait!! :th

    We need to start selling them while there are still CW Reenactors to buy them. DH and I will be keeping our favorites. The best Looking McClellan is an Officer's Saddle, that our commander was gifted, and he gave it to US when he retired. It is AWFUL to sit this saddle...but it's pretty!

    I will look, but the hobby zenithed in the late 1990's, 2008 financial collapse almost killed it off. What is left now is a shell, and it is now mostly just Living History, and it's a crap shoot as to who really knows their history that is still reenacting. The Sutlers that are still around are...

    Sending Frozen Seed?

    I imagine if you thaw it out, make sure that it is totally dry, they label a small, snack sized (or smaller, if you have it,) ziplock bag and send it in That, it should be fine.
