they have those cans of little smoked oysters available at some supermarkets. i used to eat them once in a while but i've been eating sardines in mustard sauce mostly the past few years. as a once in a while meal they work well for me. as far as stuffing, i've had several different kinds, the...

someone mentioned snow falling off roofs and how certain kinds can be dangerous and that reminded me of living in the attic of a place up north and how the snow and ice would pile up and then suddenly come off. it would shake the house as it released from the change in the weight and then it...

you can, but it takes a lot longer to clear a driveway or sidewalk... remember though that it is best to push the snow as much as you can and to do as very little lifting as possible.

nice to see flowers this time of the year, but not too long ago we had some plants flowering here (radishes and irises).

rain today. i feel like hibernating...

wow! having grown up growing tomatoes or buying them by the bushels for canning (and picking them!) i can't imagine a life without them in the mid-to-late-summer and early fall.

thank you for asking the question. i'm not sure i can supply an answer but i see another mention of something i read right by the last time i looked (in the Seed Saver's Exchange article by Jim Tjepkema): https://seedsavers.org/hope-and-practice-robert-lobitz/ and this is important to me...

i like peas. peas please. :) i also do like basil and pesto, no matter how much. cilantro i like even more. dill i will eat the flowers from as i walk by and also eat a lot of the fronds too if there aren't too many bugs on them. fennel, yum!

the last bean garden is put up for the winter. that leaves me with just odds and ends sorts of chores in the gardens. the biggest one left will be digging out some quackgrass. that stuff doesn't give up easy - especially if there is a patch of it growing right next to the spot you're trying...

she lives down south in TN so their brrr season is much different than here, but she grew up in this area. we get some of those reflections off cars too here towards the end of the day but gladly we don't get too many of them.

at least you don't leave it to cook on the burner for a few hours extra. :)

we have a decoration (a pyramid of sorts) out back that Mom built a long time ago with various pieces of broken mirrors stuck on the sides. for some reason today with the sunshine and the right angle from the sun being on it i had a spot of reflection on the wall above a bookcase. i've not...

that was a long time ago, but it has come around again. :)

well there ya go! :)

the dude thing is a bit of a joke too because there are a lot of different pronunciations of dude. :) g'marnin! i'm going back to sleep as soon as i get some music put on for Mom while she's quilting. sun is definitely out today and it is warmer so i'll be outside for a few hours getting...

how is it pronounced? (this is why everyone says "Dude!")

some of them... just like people, there are all types.

got a few garden tasks taken care of today. some gardens i had on my list to finish up the last buckets of wood ashes so those were scattered. usually i dig them in to keep them from blowing around and i thought to myself that if it is calm enough today and tonight that perhaps they won't blow...

it was nice enough to be outside for a while. tomorrow is supposed to be warmer and bit more breeze and perhaps more sunshine.
