lead poisoning if along any kind of busy road.

looks very nice! doesn't it need to cure a bit before you put loads on it?

this morning we got the windchimes put back up in a different location. i didn't have to do that much other than move the chunk of cement/rocks/etc with a hole in it to the spot where Mom wanted it and then stick the pole down through the hole and into the ground. Mom is happy to arrange...

kabocha (orange or green) and buttercup have been our favorites since we came across them. i can enjoy butternut but given the choice i'll go for the other first. also, i'm not really into the summer squashes that much even if i can eat them and enjoy them. one squash i like for just the...

pumpkins are considered a winter squash, but to me they are just different forms of the same basic plant. around here i planted only certain kinds of squash (buttercup not butternut as i don't really like butternut in comparison to buttercup) hoping they'd not cross, but someone else around...

i did have fun Friday trying to fix one of the spare mice i had that wasn't working as well as it should have been. i learned how to take it apart and how to take the switch apart and how to take the bit of metal spring out of the switch and to rebend it a bit more to get the spring back, but...

i know that feeling, i start the day with the intentions to do things on my list and then Mom says something and then i'm sidetracked and may never get anything at all done that i might have planned. i try not to get irked about it but other times when i do warn Mom that i do have plans and she...

thank you so much! :) :hugs

mac-n-cheese with grilled hot dogs (from yesterday's visit at a brother's place). had to make sure to eat some prunes too since my fiber has been not enough and all this cheese would be asking for trouble... they're sweet enough it's like having dessert.

needed a new mousie for the computer as my old one was giving out after only six weeks. yes, i bought a cheap one because i knew i was going to get a better one as soon as i could get some research done on what i really wanted to get or at least had some idea of what was available out there...

yes, along with the drop down menus that have that same sort of formatting. thank you! :)

it is still too early to be planting here. we have frost warnings for tonight and tomorrow night.

a piece of chocolate pie.

i wasn't sure what my back would think of it all, but so far it hasn't complained a bit - we'll see what tomorrow feels like. normally i don't want to do any kind of heavy lifting in the morning but at least i'd been up for a few hours first and moving around a little so perhaps that was a good...

it will be low key for us too, but that's ok, i've already gone out and done some work moving rocks props along with a big wind chime. no way would Mom have gotten it done and she wanted to work on it this morning so off we went...

yesterday i was stuck inside most of the day even if it was sunny and fairly warm outside. today it is raining a bit so i'm not planning on doing anything outside. plenty of things i can get up to inside. spot cleaning here or there and getting rid of some clutter would be a good idea - not...

the forecast said chances of rain after 11am, it started raining at 8:15am...

trimming some trees and shrubs.

i'm not sure from your writing if it was planted as a bigger bush or it grew that big over several years. but if it was planted as a larger bush and not yet really established for a few seasons then yes it may struggle until the root system can catch up. one thing i've always known from when i...

peat moss has not really that much in the way of nutrients. you may need to give it a bit more nitrogen. also there are other considerations like if it is at the end of a row and getting more winds that could be drying it out or perhaps it is near a wall and gets heated up more or ? does...
