lemon balm is one of my favorite herbs - bees love it, it is great in pound cake or sugar cookies, makes the absolute best tea when you have a cold. I was going to try to make some lemon balm candy drops, like cough drops, but didn't get to it before the frost. With everyone's additions...

prayers for you and your family coming now. take care of yourself, and be especially gentle with yourself now, too.

home last night in the dark and the wind - whoosh - stuff flying everywhere, sounds like a freight train - chickens all huddled in a corner in the coop- got them settled once the coop door got closed finally turned on the heat its snowing! and yes....today I am going to plant garlic. crap...

um, OFG, could I have a word with you? peaches.....pumpkin pie.......puppies!!!!! you are definitely on a roll. getting so I am afraid to read your posts lest I find myself with a really bad case of the wants. (I want those peaches, want that pumpkin pie, and now....that sweet adorable...

wetter than wet - had 3 inches in less than 24 hours, and it is pouring again. not pleased as I have two chickens who are in a severe moult and are going to be seriously wet and chilled. I have a barbie doll pink hairdryer the old dairy farmer down the road gave me after his wife passed -...

you have my sympathies. though my daughter is now 28, i still vividly remember the time when she was about 4, and vomiting. On the bed, on me - took her into the shower with me to get us both cleaned up - all clean and she was sick on the laundry basket with all the clean towels - got the...

oh.my.gosh that was a fabulous link - watched the whole thing, and am so pumped to go make a rug. There was a pic of a really big, really colorful one - can't wait to hit up a thrift store for fabric. lol, just what I need is another project. thanks for posting the link. or...maybe not...

just want to remind you OFG, that first it was the peaches, and now, months later, its the pumpkin pie! got the pumpkin baking in the oven right now. dang.

its 10:30 am and I've got no call to sit here on the computer. but, it is pouring rain outside, and so all my plans for today were outdoor chores. It is chilly, no heat on in the house yet and since it is infloor heat, it will take 3 days or so to warm up the house. if I got off my duff I...

ya know, it is pouring here, which dashes my plans for spreading hay in the garden, and yes, planting the garlic...... got pie pumpkins got walnuts got some canned milk, don't know what kind hmmm, turning on the oven would warm up the house thats it! gonna make the pie! OFG, didyou try the...

toothbrush rug? gonna have to google that one. My dd made me a darling rug that looks similiar, just dif colors, out of sheets from the thrift store - I'm going to tackle two dining chairs today, trying a strange fabric for windproof jackets. might or might not work, but hey, also spent 99...

Hi Free, just read thru the entire piggie thread - how cool that you've had such success and worked so hard at getting good food for the pigs. not much longer before you get to enjoy the results! am hoping for pigs next year - plans to get them this spring fell through, but now I am glad...

thats very cool, loved seeing the pics. that is an amazing improvement, looked like a ton of work!

wow, that is a score! around here, a yard of yucky knit fabric all poly is like 2 bucks, your waveryly fabric would have been around $10. So nice! and I like your rug in the background, the little round one. Did you crochet it?

ah, blackbird, you sound just sad. Hope you are taking care of yourself and finding something to smile about.

hmmm. I think I might have to try the live trap as I can't figure out where in the coop or the huge chicken yard the chickens wouldn't be - don't want to catch one of them in the rat trap. haven't seen any rat holes anywhere I walked the perimeter, but didn't see anything suspicious -...

am still drooling over your crock, Gina. ok, so I can make kraut in the crock and transfer to jars in 3 days. can't wait. keep your fingers crossed that I can fit this all in this weekend, along with the rat, the garlic, the hay, and the coop. geesh.

really? can a rat carry an egg? I was wondering if maybe it could be a skunk, given that there has been skunk smell around. I did an internet search on rats, since the last time I saw a rat was in 1976 ( yeah, yeah, yeah, I know some of you weren't even born then) - wouldn't there be...

guess I'm going to be doing some cleaning out of the frig this weekend! I do have some larger jars, maybe a few gallon sizes. guess its time to do a search on kraut to make sure it goes ok. thanks for the help!

that is soo disappointing. I'll have to do some research and see if I can make it in quart jars instead of the crock. I could keep maybe 4 -6 jars in the frig which is already overflowing with apples. I would dig a root cellar but the water table is so high on my land.
