hasn't it been rather dry there though? sorry for flooding.

last night's dreaming was strange and once again upon waking up i was telling myself that most of it was utterly routine and not interesting. the bit that was different was upsetting enough that i will not repeat it here but when i woke up i blamed Mom because of her episode of someone putting...

i was outside for a while today getting in some dirt therapy starting in on putting up the tomato garden. one trench dug and the leftover bean debris and some of the wild strawberry plants along the edge went in that and of course plenty of weeds. tomorrow the weather will be even nicer (5F...

busy day doing not much. :)

i don't count varieties any more because this year i planted a blend that has a lot, plus a lot of out-crosses which do not have names yet. in my harvest so far i'm seeing about a dozen brown beans alone, and not sure how many of those are unique or not, most of them will probably just end up...

it is so strange to me that people on the southeastern coast have such an early snowfall, but perhaps you are more inland and uphill and so i'm confused? ah, ok, similar zone so you must be inland enough for that to be the case... nevermind... :) :) :) however, as a postscript i should also...

i'm a tail end boomerish. the wiki has it all explained.

well, erm, uh, it's quite possible for women to get pregnant very early, as was evidenced by me where i grew up as the girl on one side of us got preggers by the guy on the other side of us she was 14 he was 12. my objection would be to the use of the word alpha...

i understood it. i may not remember it all but that's another issue entirely. :) :) :)

banana to help ripening just in case you don't get the reference... :) but we've never really had issues just leaving the tomatoes out on the table or counter to ripen other than losing a few here or there from rotting - we check them once in a while and toss the problem ones.

do you recall what those are sometimes called? aka clamshells? kinda makes me cringe... even the sturdiest laptop or notebook i've seen i'd not want to do that with... even one that wasn't working or that i cared about... i'd worry about the thing falling out and the window coming down and...

to celebrate snow on the ground this morning i'm playing Christmas music. it makes Mom laugh. :) i shovelled for a few minutes (just because some fresh air and exercise would be nice and it was). the sun is out and the sky is blue. sparkles on snow. snow will soon be melted off. i did...

the only one i know of it is just the size of the bean (it's a small white bean) called the Navy Pea Bean or just the Navy Bean was how i commonly saw them called.

this morning's adventure in bean sorting and shelling was an unlucky bounce when the bean i was looking at was dropped and managed to bounce off the flat and into the bag of shelled out pods and rejects. it was one of about a dozen beans that i was interested in so i shook the bag to get the...

:) up there i used to read quite a few books a year and enjoyed having a good used bookstore within walking distance. here i have to drive into town and visit the library - it's not the same but it is ok.

as i was shelling out some Purple Dove beans last night (after doing a different box of mixed beans with much tougher pods to shell) i was thinking i should try to make a short video of that since they are so easy to do in comparison - except i don't have a stand or tri-pod for the camera and...

yes, that helped... :)

i now live about an 8hr drive from there and shortly after i left that area i lived in eastern TN for a few years, which is about 20hr drive... i suspect it was the management that failed as it was a small coffeehouse in a college town. we gave it plenty of business while i was there but i...

we never got into that - one experience i missed out on!

you don't want a blowout! the are repairing and rebuilding the four dams from the washout of 2020, so far they are on schedule and within budget (about 400 million). the court case continues (to determine if the state or feds had any responsibility). my brother and SIL live just a few miles...
