Here you can see the pathway that will take us to the garden. It will be all the way in the back which is the southern-most part of the property. It is also on the highest elevation of the property.
Here, you see the trees that have already fallen. The house you see in this pic is our...
Hello everyone! We moved just this past October and I'm in the very early planning phase for a new garden. I had a vegetable garden at the old house....it was tiny, had too much shade and a bit disappointing, but I did get lots of mulberries, raspberries and blackberries. Edamame was really...
It's been a really long while since I posted on this thing. WE MOVED!!! Woohoo! :woot We're still in the same town, but now we have 1.75 lovely acres and live across the road from over 200 acres of preserved land with trails running through. Some trails lead to ponds filled with chirping...
I'm worried about the wire caging on the hutch. I think a raccoon could get it's paws through it, so I'll be putting some hardware cloth over it this weekend.
I make jam and lots of it!
Mulberry Peach Jam
Mulberry Strawberry Jam
Triple Berry Jam.....mulberry, strawberry, raspberry
There's also mulberry wine. ;)
I also use mine to dye wool.
Mostly though, I have two children with purple feet for a good month when the season's right.
Thanks for the help everyone. I suppose I do walk on my heels. That would explain why the heels on my shoes wear down so fast. I've been leaning forward while walking today. It feels weird. :/
I guess I walk........on my heels? Never thought about it. I'll have to pay attention tomorrow. I have scoliosis so my posture is terrible. I slouch.
I switch between my walking shoes (sneakers) and my crocs. My feet are super wide and pretty flat.
Last year my heels started to hurt after I'd been doing some physical activity. I'd feel the pain after sitting for a while. The pain is so bad when I got up and I'd hobble around like an old lady. After some research I figured it must be heel spurs which is common in overweight people, BUT...

I use Castille soap. My latest batch was peppermint scented. I actually like it!
Oh, and a tip for grating the bar soap is to soften it in the microwave first. Hmmmm, just got rid of the microwave...
Phew! Inspection took less than 5 minutes. He looked, commented on how beautiful they are, asked where the irrigation heads were, thanked me, said he doesn't see any problems and left! :)
That's my plan. My best friend is a private investigator. She said since he works for a government agency she can investigate the report and find out if someone reported me. I'm still a little anxious. I just don't like people telling me I'm doing something wrong because I almost always...
I got a letter in the mail from the local water authority saying they need to inspect my property and to make sure I have a check valve to prevent back flow into the main water supply. I called them today and he said he was driving by and noticed my "EGGS FOR SALE" sign. He says he needs to...
