I have to say that I did not have any raccoons that summer of the baby skunks.. the momma was almost all white on the top and had black legs. she was very distinctive. I saw her many times that year. I have had friends who had them deskunked and as pets and they even used the litter box...

I've had a goodly amount of snow white hair since my early early twenties. :( but it runs in our family too. I almost stopped breathing after dying my hair one day-I became allergic to the dyes. lucky for me I had my epi pen and knew exactly what was happening. saved me a trip to the ER but...

It worked well for my mother when she used the milky spore for three years. that was about 7 years ago and we noticed that in certain spots the grubs must be back as the moles are working it hard and you can see where the skunks have been digging them there too. We also have the same looking...

I find them all the time in my garden.. we dig them for fishing.. or the chickens.. :) If your garden is infested with them they will come up and take bites out of the melons and squashes and pumpkins too and make them rot from the bottom up.. You go to pick one and the underside is all...

Yup I knew that.. :) a friend has some.. we love them little things.. ;)

I'm jealous.. it will be years before I get grapes from the plants I put in last year. they are so tiny but for a buck each I couldn't complain. I have wanted kiwi but the one small plant the kids got me years ago just never thrived and croaked.. :( we have hops back there now and they are...

I hate spiders in the house(make hubs or son take them to the garden) but deal with them in the garden cuz they don't eat my produce.. but I also hate those critters that take a bite or two of my veggies and out of every stinking one! I've been training a crack force to deal with the invasion...

OH WOW!!! Way to go on the POW!!! now I want donuts at midnight!! :P :lol:

I have to say that living here in almost rural Michigan I have had the necessity of borrowing a genny for a few hours every other day before and have been totally been thinking of getting one big enuf to run the water and fridge and freezer for a few hours each day. I do have a cousin for a...

On pine needles it has been told and told again that you should only eat round needles as any flat needles are poisonous. Kind of makes sense.

I've grown peanuts here in Michigan and got a wonderful crop. we only got to taste a few tho as the chickens got loose when they were curing in the shed and they enjoyed too many of them before we did haha..

I just bought and put some out and some in little pots to try of something called "Spinach Mustard" I hope it is as tasty as the internet makes it sound. I may pick up some more seeds as they are the 4 and 5 for a $1 seeds from american.

Watch out on that Horseradish!!! it travels faster than the deer that eat my garden! A friend dropped some off one day while I was at work-hubs thought it was for the compost and mixed it in with the finished compost and spread it on the garden in one spot. I had more horse radish starts than...

YAY!!:ya They are sharing the one bucket okay and I am glad it helped someone else! I am still going to make another one for this summer so that they don't get too mean over the one bucket. Plus I saw something for making a feeder that they don't spill from as much and I am saving up for the...

I've used a slab of styrofoam and put coconut coir jiffy plugs in holes and floated it above my gold fish. it grew great plants and we had several big salads before the roots got really big and the gold fish started eating them. Koi are even worse on vegetation. I used to swing by a big...

I've got two nice wilton but I think they have the no stick liner and I haven't used them in a long time. and I have several loaf glass pans I don't like the bread that comes out. I have been only making dinner rolls or sub rolls with my bread recipes lately as we use every one up and if I...

If you can watch for big church or school functions where they have sports parties or children's parties. I used to volunteer at the high school near me and I picked up 24 of the big one gallon Hawaiian punch jugs. I washed them out and fill with water for my back up for the chickens and us...

I do have to say that I go thru a ton of white vinegar on my glass wear and to clean my shower heads and washers. I do get build up on places where it can evaporate! ;) But it is the best tasting water around. I have family and friends who will stop here and fill up when going on vacations...

Not as much as you would think. I've had mine for a long time and once a year we drain it and run cleaner thru. there is not much build up as it is not where the water can evaporate like your open fountain. We have all plastic piping now thanks to hubby. and no longer have pipe sediment...

My hubby and son and I all love the tankless. once my daughter moved out the cost dropped quite a bit. (she liked to shower. a . lot...) it really shows when we go away for a week as it doesn't run at all and the bill reflects that. you do have to learn how it works-like the water has to run...
