A friend from my church's mother lives in Sendai, and she has not been able to contact her. She knows from church members in Japan that her mother's house is still standing, but her mother is not there. We are still praying that Keiko's mother is safe somewhere. Update!!! Keiko was able to...

:lol: I don't let my girls have the earthworms, but any caterpillars, grubs, earwigs, crickets, etc. I find are all theirs. When I am working at my community garden site- a few miles from my house- I will take a plastic bowl or baggie to carry home any goodies I find for them. If I turn over...

Since I sent dh to the store on Monday for 1 bunch of spinach, one head of lettuce, 1 cucumber and 2 tomatoes and he spent $9.59 on just those things, we are amping up our garden plans. He said there were signs up that said the high prices were due to the frosts this winter. :(

Their entire property is actually 1/5th an acre. Not that 1/5th is huge, but it's double the size of my yard!

We finally put up a fence in the backyard to keep the chickens confined to the side yard. What a difference in my yard already! We'll be working on something a bit more permanent than a section of chicken wire and 3 garden stakes. Now I can plant and not worry about them getting in my garden or...
