it's starting on allergy season for me here so that's always drippy... hope you feel better soon! :) :hugs

yeah, it's not like they sing it loud...

your story about sending frozen food reminds me of the time my sister came from NM to visit here and packed some frozen chilis in her luggage (which they lost and then we had it delivered two days later to where we were staying up north). *phew!* lol gl with HG and baby checkup.

the area where this is at i may be digging up entirely pretty deep anyways (to remove the quack grass that is invading and to put down a barrier for preventing that from happening again of some kind) so in the process of doing that i'll get a chunk of fence cut to fit across that area and they...

while working on the pathway edge yesterday i was able to see where the killdeer was sitting on her eggs. outside the fence this time. we doubt that she will get them hatched (the raccoons tend to find them eventually) and then she'll start another attempt someplace else. this is the fairly...

never in my life did i think that chickens would ever want or need a bath, but i do see birds taking baths (we have a few of them here to watch the birdies) so i guess it just never clicked but then i also have to admit i've never seen a chicken out in the ditches or playing in a puddle like...

got as far as i wanted done today. looks, much, much nicer. the end part i have left to do is full of quack grass, that is not going to be fun at all... also found ground hog burrow starting up. they've been in that spot before and i shut them down several times, they eventually keep coming...

working on pathway edge today. first day outside. yes, i'm overdoing it.. will feel it later i'm sure. :) but i already feel happy knowing this will be mostly done today. windy, warm, sunny, need cookie and milk for lunch and then lip balm for the wind or i'll be all plumped up later and...

you're just a wee bit over yonder... :)

nice day outside, redoing an edge of a pathway while i get a chance before i need to do other things. feels good to move, but i also know i'll feel it in other ways even more later. :) :) :) oh, and i called washing machine repair people again and they said that they finally got the parts in...

will call again to check on the washer parts situation... *grump*

we've had late enough frosts the past few years that the lone lilac tree hasn't bloomed very much. it probably could also use a bit of trimming to regenerate it and get it back to a more compact form.

got a test version done this morning (4-6am is a great time to not be interrupted :) ) now to see how it tests out and to use it... i won't replace the current version until the new test version gets some use to make sure i didn't do anything silly.

file this under if you ever wonder why accountants go nuts... :) i wrote a little program to compute some numbers on buy, sells and splits of investment shares. in researching it i found out about things i didn't know before (a newer programming language (Python) that has a data type...

anytime you want to practice i have plenty of trees and brush that could use some cutting back or bringing down. must be insured, etc. etc. we will feed you...

they can be a challenge to find and hand pick but i would rather do that than spray. we do have mantis here but the garden does not have a lot of places where they can hang out during the times when garden vegetables are not growing. i would like to have more refuge spaces for them, but ...

quality is always an issue, i have some that are very thin and so they won't last very long compared to the others that are three or more times heavier. in the longer term it won't matter as i have enough that i don't really want any more.

yes, and there's a lot of bean enthusiasts there and many years of interesting threads talking about beans (and pictures !!!!!). and ... and .....

correct. :) you also get a kudoes for using a word i'd never seen before. :)

what did you pick? 12yrs ago i expanded my collection by ordering from them. :) i still regularly grow 3 of them.
