I think, "Thaterday" can be any day that you want.

DD took this shot last night on the walk around town.

DISH guy just called, so it WILL be repaired today! :weee Meanwhile I have preheated my oven to 350 degrees so I can start baking/packaging/freezing cookies. I actually softened twice the amount of butter, had to double to recipe--there will be MANY cookies made today! My houseplanting has not...

Tegan is a lap dog.

What's your secret? I've failed at growing strawberries! :hit

Here are some pictures of cookies in the process. Middle DD gave all of us home made vanilla in 2021 and I've hardly touched it. It's in bourbon and you need to shake it up before measuring out. I also had blackstrap molasses. I KNOW that recipes tell you to measure wet and dry ingredients...

Any Christian will tell you that when you are undergoing pain or grief that you are susceptible to demonic attacks. Most of them are irritants, like this weekend, when my Satellite tv (DISH) stopped working. I called the online service number to try to rectify this, and they made an...

Surprisingly WE in Central IL are in an exceptional drought. Couldn't fooled ME with all of the mud!

@digitS' explain "Double Digging", pls. :hu

https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0086112/ I raised my 3 daughters on this. GREAT family fare, and who not?!?! It is, after all, Gilbert and Sullivan at their finest. They wrote it bc their first collaberation, made it's way to tour the USA, and the Americans didn't honor their copyright...

We hit 56 degrees F yesterday. Still, the nights are freezing and the snow hasn't melted all away. Gotta clean up after Tegan bc there are now visible landmines everywhere.

A little bit of freezer temperatures never hurt ANYbody! :lol:

THIS lady is my newonline habit--I love her writing! She is known as "Farmer Girl," and she also has a FB page. Here is a sample of her work...

Winter is also a great time to share movies. Youngest DD, in particular, loves to watch them with me. I had never seen this family friendly film before, but I highly recommend it: Captains Courageous, 1937 https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0028691/ We as a family haven't been to the movie theater in...

Our lives/passions change over time and wax and wane. Perhaps in the future you might be growing more food for your restaurant OR more flowers to decorate it? Doesn't matter. You are still a valuable member of our online family. NO excuses are necessary! :hugs

@secuono posted on her thread late last year and reminded me of my manual auger, which I purchased in the Spring of 2020 and will NOT be amongst all of the items I am selling for cash this year. I want to raise $ for projects before I buy the supplies. This cost me about ~$50 at the time...

I thought that was a goat thing...

I don't think I have Ever seen weather maps with pockets of extreme cold surrounded by "not so Bad cold." Just makes you remember to save up for things like window weather stripping when the grasshoppers are dancing in the summertime.

Valentine's Day is just around the corner. Here is a fun activity gift for the holiday. https://extension.illinois.edu/blogs/good-growing/2021-02-11-how-make-homemade-seed-cards-valentines-day

Winter is a great time to read. I, as you already guessed, prefer non-fiction. DD's and I have started a diet which includes "digesting" books. Youngest DD is lending me a book about the Norman Invasion of England. I'm sure that it tastes good. The diet suggests a full gallon of...
