Those books are quite a gift! I especially liked the one on grasses and white tailed deer, although I thought that you were too far west for white tailed, and more likely to see mule deer.

Checking in so that @digitS' doesn't go searching for me...

Started 11 zucchini seeds yesterday, which was one package worth. They are 5 seeds and 6 seeds in two small tree pots in the other fish tank downstairs, on a heat mat with a gro light. I also threw in some marigold seeds, for friendship. They should be up in a week. Zucchini, like my black...

This is a copy of what I posted on my thread: Family is heading out to Billie Creek this afternoon. I will join them for a few hours tomorrow. Last evening I was tasked with: bread making--2 loaves, which tasted great when I cleaned my fingers off! corn muffin making--packaged up, and tasted...

Checked on the 2nd pepper/eggplant(s) seed starting. Seemed a bit wet, so I took off the cover. I may need to move the other peppers out of there to another heat mat/gro lamp down below on the first shelf. This is the first year I have taken seed starting seriously. My Winter Sowing jugs are...

This is nothing like @Phaedra 's masterful photos, but DD brought in some fresh lilac yesterday and shared.

Makes you want to reconsider pulling that rug from your bedroom...softer landing.

Coffee with oatmeal this morning, sweetened with honey.

I can't leave mine on permanently only bc I use a heated water hose in the winter and that has to be directly screwed on. BUT, I can exchange other hoses during the growing season and leave the piece on for that. They were all the rage about 3 years ago, now, not so much. @Finnie you might...

We are bouncing between coolish Spring and full fledged HUMID Summer. Heat is off in the house and we are opening/closing windows. Since I have a window fan unit, the type with the two small fans, I opted to close the shower curtain in front of the window--we have that AND 2 curtains in the...
