It's kind of weird that they grow best in places where it hardly ever freezes. :huMy neighbor has a male and female tree and her persimmons fruit are still green but are getting big. I'll have to get a second tree. One of mine died. Mine were just planted last year (or maybe the year before but...

GREAT picture!

@CrealCritter you should post that picture under Picture of the Week. It'll help keep that thread going. They sure look good!

Mission complete, and it was soooo much fun!:celebrate It was great to put more faces to the names, hear their voices, and see the homesteads first hand! :clap God provided all, but specifically cool weather, minimal traffic, little construction (in August!!), and safe travel throughout. Each...

That's true. We had one get stuck in the bottom of an empty trash can once. Definitely on my list of least favorite animals.

Lol! Maybe if it was a possum it would be big enough to hide a gun? That would be the ultimate concealed carry!:lol:

@Beekissed, my feet look like that after gardening too. ;) Fun picture!

I really like how flexible you are. One of our family sayings is "Adapt, improvise, and overcome", and you sure have been doing that. Your property is very pretty. How is your wife doing? I'm glad she is out of the hospital. What does your son think about this whole experience? I hope they...

I didn't know that @CrealCritter. But it sure seems to have worked here this year!

Welcome back @Sharene! :)

I appreciate your post, @frustratedearthmother and can see your point of view. But you only know a tiny part. And are not we ALL sinners? I could have gone on (and on) with the post, and chose not to. For me, it all comes down to sin. And yes, I am also a sinner. I'm not calling the kettle...

:drool Yum!!

Do you have a picture of your grinder?

I've watched drugs (and sin) systematically destroy the family next door to us. The mom was on oxycodone and oxycontin for pain for surgery. The daughter got hooked on them after taking some for terrible scoliosis, and went from there to herion. She's already been in prison twice, throwing away...

Today, I pulled up most of my tomato plants and the last of my squash. It was just to dry for them. But, I also picked our first watermelon of the season. I don't know how they grew so big with as little rain as we have had but this watermelon was massive! I have 5 more in the garden, but not as...

I was just on the phone with my friend yesterday, and she's been going through many years of patterns, and will be giving me most of two large filing cabinets of them. She's also giving me a whole roll of pattern paper, so i can make my own patterns. She already taught me how to make patterns...

@HomesteaderWife , once the ducks were trained to a bell, what's next? Do they ring the bell every time they want food?

I agree @CrealCritter! I'm not quite sure how or when "work" became a bad thing, but I really enjoy good work, taking scraps (of cloth, wood, metal, food or just about any other "material") and making something useful and productive. I feel better at the end of the day when I've invested some...

I've got to share!! I'm praising the Lord tonight for answered prayers, and for providing for us over and above anything I've expected or even asked for!!:weee:weee I've recently been thinking a lot about sewing as a side income. I've sewn simple things, and can follow a pattern. I have a...

I was going to happily oblige, and realized I didn't have any new pictures!:epI've recently taken several videos of the ducks to send to my mom, but can't load them. I'll try to get some pictures tomorrow. :) Do you have any new pictures @HomesteaderWife , @Jeffeff95, @sumi, or @Beekissed ? Who...
