I didn't mean that only the farmer's market is a 30 minute drive and other conveniences are closer. I am halfway between a small city (pop probably 20k or so) to my north, and a slightly smaller town the same distance to my south. Both are a 30 minute drive from my house (one way - twice that...

Nice to see you again, Phaedra. The same is true in small towns and villages here in the USA, less and less of the old general stores, diners/cafes where you could get home-cooked lunch or dinner, family owned businesses. It's a different world. In summer I visit a farmers market where home...

After hauling my enormously huge Christmas tree up the hill into the woods two days ago, I am finished! My knee and back are killing me and I am so exhausted that I've spent most of the time since on the couch. Tree was so wonderful while it lasted, but I'm realizing it was the last time -...

All I could think is what a pity "Grannie" didn't also have a single ewe lamb. That would have made your life infinitely easier. Beautiful babies, all of them.

That's really beautiful.

Resolutions everyone/anyone? I'm going to try limiting time on the computer and spend more time reading (books) and tackling the huge pile of sewing projects I've accumulated. Sometimes I stick to resolutions; other times they fade away like the old year.

What cozy looking shelters! Can I join your flock of sheep?

Mabel wearing her jingle bell collar Christmas morning after consuming her Christmas goodies, and walking in the woods this afternoon.

Very pretty. Kitty likes it.

That could be a really addictive hobby.

Oh what fun!

Finished holiday decorating finally. Tiny town, it cost $4.99 in 1972. We didn't have much money, but saw this and thought "for less than $5 why not?" It came with a string of lights (long since replaced) 2 of the 3 houses, corresponding barns, church, 2 trees, and skating pond with a few...

Will you be spending Christmas on board your boat?

That must be a treat to see. The boats are all so pretty. It's a magical looking scene.

Don't they always? Ha ha You do have animals closest to my heart. We bred my mare (a grade Morgan) to an Arab stud long ago but unfortunately didn't take. Clearly your dogs are better trained than any of mine, excepting one sheltie who loved to pose. She thought it was an important job and...

That must have taken many tries to get them all posed so perfectly! They are all beautiful.

Were these left by the previous owner? You made a haul for sure!

They are not dead! I'm not sure where that idea is coming from. They *might be* suffering from lack of water, but I won't be plucking them out to examine their roots if they are already stressed from dehydration. I did check out the state of rainfall in Phoenix, and as I suspected, half of...

Thanks. I may try this.

They are certainly alive. I just don't know if what I'm doing is sufficient, or if I need to change the protocol in the interest of their health.
