i certainly understand why! :)

one down, one to go. good to see my brother again. glad he was easy and ready to go back home soon as he also could use some time off. i just did the dishes and get an hour off my feet until the next person shows up. :) *whew!* but as i was finishing dishes i said to Mom that i was...

IMO a driveway like that is going to need some large enough rough aggregate to stand up to flowing water if it isn't ditched or otherwise set up along the edges to take the water off and down the sides or to spread it out into the surrounding lawn... then you have the next issue of getting the...

other considerations are that young trees just do not have that large of a root system yet so they may not survive until they are more well established and have a deeper and larger root system. that is why with young trees you do want them to be regularly watered deeply enough in their first...

i had to opologize to Mom for getting annoy at her this morning. she said she didn't notice. lol we're not really compatible in the kitchen and it is better if she can do her thing and make a big mess and then just go away and let me clean up. this morning we were trying to do things...

sort of free if you don't cost the time, tools, etc... but i'd rather be doing this than most anything else (or i'd certainly be doing that instead! :) ).

poor Asheville, i spent a few weeks there one year when i was on the road and living out of my car and a tent, going around looking for land and a new place to live. i spent months in western NC and eastern TN wandering around. when i came across Asheville i liked it enough to find a room to...

us too. we're both willing to take it and paint it even darker. it helps make the bright parts brighter too IMO, more contrast...

yesterday was a bit of a disaster but we've survived to another day. :)

yesterday i finished picking through the last planted gardens for dry bean pods that were ready. with our heavy dewfalls they are still pretty damp even into the afternoon and i have to bring them in to dry. i spread them out on box tops, flats, etc. and then stir or turn them over once or...

beautiful and peaceful (at least until you hear that first mosquito)... :) when i had aquariums i watched those a lot more than i watched tv.

that is a very hard to resist straight line you've dangled out there in front of me...

it's one of those submersable electrics...

sad to hear about this.

p.s. i wasn't just making that up to be funny, though the pun was intended it might have fallen a bit flat. really though, i did get a lot of use out of those sandals and they finally gave up when the leather rotted but the soles were in good condition and i considered trying to rebuild them...

@Alaskan is the only other person that comes to mind who raises them for meat on this forum. i know nothing about them other than they make good worm food pellets and they have to eat often.

good for him and glad for you. :) sorry for doggie... give him hugs and scritches from us.

did anyone else have sandals made out of tires in the 70s? i got a lot of miles out of them...
