Lulu and I travel together all the time. Last fall we were in Swan Hills and I got a bunch of pics of her there. I wrote a short, short story to go with the pics. I have been without a completely working computer for several months until my new laptop finally arrived. So I just posted the...

My mom and dad came to visit earlier this year and my dad although 80 thinks he is 25. He loved working in the yard - chipping food for the chickens and tilling. Oh man he loves tilling. Anyway, when he was here and tilled between my rows he actually tilled up most of my carrots. I really...

I went out this morning to feed the girls and all I found was dead bodies all over the chicken run. I had 25 girls and all but 5 were gone. I have a four foot fence all around and nothing had dug under and all the gates were all shut. Something jumped over the fence. I took a photo of the...

I just had to share my day. I had lunch with a friend that I went to elementary school with and was out of contact for over 40 years yesterday. We walked to school together for years as we lived only 2 blocks apart then after grade 9 my family moved away and hers moved away after grade 10...

I was pulling out some lettuce for my chickens when I came across this volunteer potato growing in the beans and corn. It was spread all over so I decided to pull it out. It had 9 small potatoes, 4 medium sized and these two huge ones!

I have always planted Homesteader peas and have always had good crops. This year my peas are turning old too soon. They make pods but the pods get wrinkled and old looking before the peas fill out. I've never seen this happen before. The few pods that fill out don't have the fresh pea taste...

I know its not really a gardening recipe - unless you spread it with homemade preserves or pie filling as some people do. I got the recipe from my mother and grandmother so decided to pass it on. Enjoy. I made Placinta / Elephant Ears / fried dough - what ever you call it - I made it, we ate...
