:celebrate Congrat's and thank you for sharing your wonderful news with us! :hugs

Well, got a half gallon of the tonic made up and decided I was done for the evening. In all actuality, the lack of horseradish root was the deciding factor of not doing the second half gallon, but I appreciate it! :lol: Am in no mood to mess with baking after finishing the tonic so that's on...

I'd do the double loaves too, if I had room in our itty-bitty freezer. ;) If my first attempt turns out good, I'll do the double loaves on Sunday night and send mom home with 1 of them on Monday. ;) We had a thunderstorm roll through around 4:30 this afternoon. Didn't expect that at all since...

I never did mention that, did I? :gig It was absolutely scrumptious, Deb! The skin was nice and crisp and the meat was sooo moist! :drool It got just the slighest bit smokey, close to the end but it was nothing major. We just turned on the fan and cranked a window to clear it out. We feel like...

:hugs What a bummer!

Good civilized visit at moms, yesterday, as always! :D We were thrilled to see that the new lights on the reef tank didn't cause the hair alga to explode (seemed to have the opposite effect and I was able to thin out a bunch of it on the back wall), the diatom alga was non-existant on the sand...

Hello and Welcome to the forum, Beth! :frow

As long as the ground that the persimmons are on hasn't been treated with any nasty chemicals, the fruits will be fine to use. We never pick them off of the tree, always wait until they fall to the ground as they're the sweetest ones! :drool

I always do the creepy-crawly pix as a link so no one gets a suprise. Be glad I previewed the post cause I did the link wrong and the huge pic of the huge spider was showing! :hide

Kind of a productive day...got several bags of leaves shredded and I pulled the plug on that project once we hit bag after bag of wet stuff. Have 3 full 50# feed bags of shred for the buns' poop trays so I'm good to go for quite awhile, now. :D Doc did the town run before that project and...

mfb and so lucky, That salt tank (first pic) was our baby...we loved it! We did maintenance visits to that home twice a week, and babied the fish and corals with plenty of healthy live and frozen foods. We treat any aquarium we have ever dealt with that way, including our own. It's no different...

Wow! I would have never thought of trying that but thanks for sharing, Rhoda! :hugs We'll be dragging out our small chipper/shredder tomorrow for leaves. Looking forward to it as I've been using them in the rabbits' poop trays but dread the dust! :th

:hugs Hope ya get to feeling better, hon! :hugs I forgot I was supposed to pester you today and didn't get here until late, that surely helped! :lol:

What he didn't tell ya was that I'd borrowed Deb whip and beat that out of him! :gig I'm seriously joking about that beating, though! I don't consider myself the boss...it's an even partnership, in my book...we share the pants! :gig He's definately a keeper and I'm so glad he's put up with me...

Hope you get some restful sleep tonight and get to feeling better soon! :hugs Glad Gus made it through his surgery okay and man...he is a looker now when he's not in the best of shape! Can't wait to see him after y'alls' TLC! ;) I suspect we might have several older crab-apple trees in the...

Congrat's on that shed finally coming down! :celebrate It must have been an "openess" kinda day as doc got the 2 trees out of the orchard area and it really opened the area up. We were really suprised, since the dead snag and small live trees were close to the chicken coop...I definately...

Things sound as if they are moving along nicely! :celebrate We never seem to make much progress on our place without a huge mess involved, so it's got to be the norm, right? :lol: I had planned on setting up our double cattle panel run for our chickens once we got moved out here and it became...

Congrat's on your upcoming move! :hugs I am also looking forward to following along on your journey!:D
