Finished my last beginner obedience class tonight. It was so much fun, and I really did learn so much. I'm so impressed with the progress of that class! That first evening the chorus of barking was a bit crazy, you could barely hear the instructor. By tonight it was complete silence, dogs...

That's interesting, I had no idea that was how they bred in the long hair! It's funny, I've always noticed that the long haired dachshunds seem a bit softer natured than the smooth coated, this would certainly explain that. Wow, that's pretty neat!

He's a beagle. I probably shouldn't call him 'easy' because his nose is a formidable opponent to training! Lol

I have the beans I'm returning to you all packed up. I will connect with my tech friend asap and get your package in the mail @Blue-Jay. I'll forward you the tracking number when I get it. Happy landing! 🏡

This past week we have had truly disturbing visitors, not so much in the garden but behind it. A huge unkindness of ravens. I'm baffled as to why they've been here for so long and for what. I noticed today that my neighbour across the street had about 20 in his trees and there was also about...

-22C/-8F, but on the positive side I haven't seen any mosquitoes.

I wish I knew @Marie2020. All I can do is guess based on what I saw. It appears that she died right there on the road, or was very ill and collapsed on the road. The way the owner was petting her, he knew the situation was very grave. It looked like 'goodbye' petting to me. The question in...

My nervous system is still vibrating all wrong from that.

DD & I walked the dog together this afternoon. We were going down the street in the direction of the sun, and I could see someone else coming up the street toward us with a large dog on a leash. So we moved far to the right to give them room and I caught a glimpse of their silhouette, (I was...

I don't really keep up a lot with the weather outside of the growing season, but this morning I got shocked by the cold. Yesterday it was -1C/30F in the daytime, this morning it was -33C with windchill factor/-27F. The look on my dogs face when I cracked the door for him to go out was priceless. 🤣

I found an interesting tidbit about one of my network bean returns this year @Blue-Jay; the 'Potomac' bean I grew it turns out is not the one offered at Victory Seed Company. I checked all around, and Chat GPT confirmed that there are 2 separate varieties of it. That one is actually white...

I sent you an email instead. 👍

I guess I didn't phrase that especially well, lol. I meant that it has been very easy for me to incorporate new savory foods into my diet as I got older and started to explore global culinary traditions. I particularly enjoy the spice heavy, vegetable and pulse centered diet of India. But the...

I sent it yesterday, did it not show up at your end?

Yes, great tip, I don't know why I didn't think of that. It's interesting, that bean doesn't look 10 inches either, but it does seem wide like you mentioned. Now I really am bewildered!

Years ago in an Ayurvedic facility I used to make lots of different desserts from powdered milk, which is very common in India. Occasionally I made them right from scratch, boiling and boiling the milk to turn it into fudge that way, through evaporation. But I actually preferred the taste of...

The pods from what I recall seemed quite uniform. I think I need to regrow it again, because I don't think any of them got to 10 inches. Strangely, the seed packet photos of Mombacher Speck don't seem to have 10 inch pods on the front, but rather much smaller pods. Have you grown it or have a...
