Long time (okay, not really, but it feels like it) no talk to! :hugs
I haven't read further than this ^^^...that is the story of my life, since we've moved to our newish home. I know I'm doing, but it just doesn't ever seem to show. It's bound to snow or worse, in the past week I've been told...
I wish bunnies was on my list...still haven't found a local buck but the girls have been worth their weight/feed bill in "gold"! :lol: I've been robbing the families' yard of green goods that grow/stay green over the winter here and they are loving it (both the family and the buns). My favorite...
Not a shampoo bar but I've switched to diluted castille soap for shampoo and diluted vinegar for conditioner in the last 2 months.
Has it been easy? Heck no...where's the lather and squeeky "clean" noise I'm used to hearing? :lol:
BUT...my long hair appears to be handling it much better, even...
I hear ya on the racks, little brother! It's so sad! :smack
We grew up on venison and I miss having it as a staple part of our diet. There's nothing like anything venison, as far as I'm concerned! :drool
Blueberries + Bambi's (no offense, PLEASE) = :love
If you can't tell, we're enablers here! :lol:
Seriously though, have both chickens and rabbits and I'd be hard pressed to give either one of them up. If I had to give one or the other up, it would be the dumb guineas...but that's just how I do math here on my place! :lol:
Very quick, odd-hour-for-me update...
All is well! Computer tower problem fixed and have been busy trying to get winterized. Over halfway there with that but still need to get garlic planted. :barnie Never thought I'd see the day that planting garlic was on the winterizing list but proud to be...
BB,
If ya don't get a deer in KY, just come on out and visit us in Arkansas...the deer need serious thinning on the roads here! :hu :lol:
We usually see close to 2 dozen on the way home from my moms place...a 20 minute trip. :th
Not religious, but...
Amen...hubby and Marianne (hey lady :frow )!
It's a busy time of the year, just like spring is. Add the upcoming holidays and I know I'm not around here that much, as in posting. I do check in regularly, even though I may not log in! ;)
Vollan,
One heck of a way to...
Cannot find this locally and would love to try growing my own.
Will gladly send postage or will work out a trade, if I have anything of interest.
Thanks!

Well, had a major fail on the root cuttings from the ginger and horseradish. We had a bunch of rain after I potted them and the cuttings rotted instead of rooting!:rolleyes:
Doc brought home another root of each about a week and a half ago. I was busy with other things and left them sitting...
You can blame it on my mom, she even said she was pretty sure the snow y'all got was mainly her fault because she cleaned her house, but, that I'm partially to blame since I did water changes in both of the fish tanks! :gig
Had a good, short and sweet visit with Granny! Those are always the...
My computer has been acting up lately, that's why I've no been around. :rant Doc and I took the tower apart the other night and took everyhting apart and gave it a good cleaning. Still had some trouble last night so we got into it again and realized one of the main fans is acting wonky. Pulled...
Here's the thread that so lucky mentioned: Herbal Studies.
True that, okra!
I have been "dabbling" in herbals for many years...just basics like treating colds, upset stomachs, cuts, bruises, insect bites/stings. etc. My favorite book is The School of Natural Healing by Dr. John Christopher...
Deb,
I just hang the cloves in a mesh bag and try and keep them in a cool/dark spot. Right now, the garlic bag hangs near the camper door, partially behind the curtain. I'd love to keep it in a cabinet under the sink but the mice get it there. :rolleyes: I'm wondering if we could drill holes in...
Seconding what Michey says about basil. :D
Cutting will easily root in water, too, and give you and endless supply of basil plants...ask me how I know! :gig
We love using the leaves fresh on sandwhiches (in place of/or with lettuce) and chopped up in salads. :drool
