    What did you do in your garden today?

    it is amazing how many weed/grass seeds can blow in on the wind. i've had this fenced garden area for almost 30yrs and some years it is kept pretty much weed free, but the past several years with the field to the south of us being full of grassy weeds and thistles i've had a real booger of a...

    Penny pinching

    welcome to SS from mid-Michigan :) nothing wrong with Hugelculture, but pretty much it needs to be adjusted for your climate (wet or arid) and it is likely best done when you have a big enough amount of wood to bury and plenty of dirt to go over it. on the whole, i think it is a lot of work...

    Memes That Make You Giggle

    my basic problem with most things like that is that i'm looking at them in the morning before i'm fully awake.

    Can Frugality Actually Make You Happier?

    yes, most of that sounds about right to me. the other point is actually deciding what it mean to be content (not letting others run your life) and also defending your time, space and energy as there are so many things that want to pull you away into whatever and at times that's fun, but i'm not...

    Memes That Make You Giggle

    true. but i could also argue it on the basis of various physical theories that include clouds, energy waves, uncertainty and whatever quantum BS you'd like to try to figure out let alone the various string theories and dark matter angles... yet that would all be useless quibbling instead of...

    the little wild kingdom

    i could get out today and it was nice enough to even break a sweat! :) did some weeding and gravel picking out of a garden and buried some chicken bones and a bag of bean pods and then tried to get the poison ivy out of some bushes but i couldn't find any of it at all.

    What did you do in your garden today?

    we had freeze last night of 25F with windchill down to 15F. tonight it looks like we avoid another freeze. too early to plant much here, but peas and early bean experimenting is often possible starting about here. i'll hold off and see what the forecast looks like for a bit yet.

    Coffee's Ready, Come and Sit on the Porch

    i was reading up on it after a previous mention, i would probably like it as i've had some pretty crazy teas that tasted like all sorts of things (many that i won't mention in polite company). as for your comment about liking to drinking it black to avoid the calories i can do that for weak...

    Coffee's Ready, Come and Sit on the Porch

    the phillips screwdriver bits are a horrible design. i think almost every one of those i have in the house in any form are beat up and don't do a very good job in either direction. the new string trimmer and blade attachements for the driver/battery pack unit we bought last year are pretty...

    Coffee's Ready, Come and Sit on the Porch

    i think that is fairly common among older folks as they have a harder time absorbing the B12 and iron.

    Coffee's Ready, Come and Sit on the Porch

    flavor. i can't have as much caffiene as would be in a full teaspoon of instant coffee - i can have about 1/4 teaspoon of instant regular coffee and then the rest has to be the fake stuff. i'm very sensitive to caffiene and right now pretty wired from just that little bit of caffiene. at the...

    Coffee's Ready, Come and Sit on the Porch

    two days in a row i'm having a mix of fake coffee and regular instant coffee and my body is still unimpressed by the whole experience. it does make me hyper but it doesn't do anything else. so i'm like laying here with all this buzzing around me and that's about it. just thought you should...
