This is so cool! We are dealing with same thing with our "drainage ditch" we are currently reworking. DH thought it was mainly runoff, but as the excavator has worked, we have discovered it to be a "seepage spring". We are installing the collector pipes and gravel beds this spring. We'll...
What is straw? I always gotten the impression that hay is a leaf used for food and straw is a stem used for bedding. Correct? Do they come from the same types of plant or do you have to plant something different to get straw?

I'm fairly new to the whole yogurt thing. Twice I heated it on the stove and both times it was perfect.

I was channel surfing this morning and caught a bit of a "news segment" espousing the benefits of eating whole milk, butter, eggs, and natural oils (think it was Fox). I think there is a growing undercurrent of people rethinking commercial food. I think things will come around in the next few...

I would place a damp rag over the poo and let it set there for awhile to moisten the poo, and then wipe off. Once the poo is off, dry the furniture with a dry rag.
I think after an experience like that, I'd change my user name just so I wouldn't have to be reminded of it all the time....
I'm very uncreative. When I needed a user name, I looked around the room looking for anything that would generate a thought. The day before, my dh brought home an...
I have eggs! I have eggs! Two of them! I noticed my alpha hen was looking a little pinker in the comb and checked the nesting box :celebrate Hooray that winter solstice is behind us! :bun

It doesn't seem to be in any library in my state, so I broke down and ordered it. I really doubt I will incorporate it into my life, but I really want to just read it anyway. I guess we'll see...
