I went out at sunrise to get this picture. it is the plum tree in it's second year of producing. the blossoms are really holding on for a long time good, gives the bees more time to do their thing .

Barb, don't feel too bad about the bunnies. You did your best. they are difficult to raise.. 6 AM and the sun isn't up yet. 58F already, my plan today is to get the sump pump installed. and maybe select some boards for my sister's bench slats

Barb, good luck with your bunny even if you raise it, it is very rare for one to be tame I knew a neighbor kid who raised rabbits. He successfully raised a cotton tail. but it never tamed down. made a trip to Menard's again today. we picked the wrong sump pump. it was 3/4 hp, not 1/2. bro...

Barb, you must have started typing just as I was waking up. I got up at 3:45am. we were at Memards uesterdau also. bought a new sump pump. of course we had to buy 2" pipe and fittings. the 1 1/2" pipe I already have wouldn't fit the new pump. In my cleaning in the shop, I found enough...

with a little luck, this should be a picture of our 45 to 50 year old volunteer apple trees. it is stuck between the pines. all of the branches on the other side are dead and gone. the two trunks each produce a different apple. last year the one on the left did not blossom. this year, 3/5 of...

Here is a shot of the under stairs shelf with all of the small piles of cut/offs and plywoods. even some eight foot stock lying on the floor. I got the drill press moved out of the way. even fixed the pinion gear. I promised my sister that I would make new slats for one of her park...

I took a short nap. as soon as I woke up I went out and cut rhubarb. when I came back into the house, there was a pie on the table, cooling off. How's that for efficiency ?? Annie picked some from the patch near the house. well, now we are ready for the next one. I told Annie that she won't...

our tv station called it a wildfire. who knows ?

th e air isn't too bad here. a bit hazy, though. I still didn't get the rhubarb picked. I thought I would move the beavy drill press just enough to get to the new shelf. I gave it a good tug and surprise !! it has wheels under it. I don't remember doing that .. So, I tugged it all the way...

Barb, I think your vet is related to my weatherman. Yesterday we found a bare root pear tree that was just coming into blossom. our planted tree is just about done blossoming. I just happened to have a recently half of a 50 gal barrel emptied. so we planted the new tree into it and placed it...

chickend are funny when it comes to using nests. I had forty laying hens and ten nest boxes. there were four nests that never got used. I finished the shelf in the shop today. somehow it became more elaborate than I had planned (or need) I lubricated the rider for Annie. the steering was...

I am in, I think. I have not been able to get on byc for a few days. I did some jockying around and hit on this mithod. idk how long it will last. the problem is that I have to use my password to get back to the regular wa y. I don't know how to log in. anyhow, I got the lawn mower going for...

If I can make it through the day without a nap, I have a fair chance of getting 5 hours of sleep. If I have to get up, I am up for the next few hours. Barb, those kittens are going to hang around anyway, so they might as well be friendly. they turn wild at a very young age. the dentist...

I went to bed and slept like a normal person for a change. made it until 6:oo am today I go to the dentist and have a temporary crown removed and a permanent one put in. then I should be done with teeth work for a long time.. Barb, try to play with the new kitties to make them tame.

those ducks can be relentless. I once saw seven mallard drakes chasing one female on a lake. poor thing couldn't land in the water without being dunked. I have been spending time in the shop each day. I never know what I am going to do, I just go out there and do something. Yesterday I...

for a while any photo you receive from me will be a fluke. I really have to go round about to get one to pop up. bad news. I did not capture mrs. houdini. I say that because now mr houdini showed up. we are three hundred feet across an open field to the woods. how do these critters find...

somehow I got this picture to work,, I think. this is the cutting/pastry board that fits tightly onto the sink. it is about 12" wide x 15 inches long.

No windows. when I'm in the shop, I don't care what is going on anywhere else. a lady caught a cockatiel on her pasture gate. she didn't want it . so Annie took it. the bird was free, but the cage cost $10.oo then Annie figured it needed a friend. so she found one. except the people had two...

no sun today. I lit a fire in the shop stove. with no windows, I have no idea what the conditions are outside.I'm in my own little mini climate. I moved all of the machines around. even the heavy planer..it gives me more walking space. I tossed 2 buckets of trash. there will be more. my plan...

Barb, you posted an hour after I went to bed. cloudy here, we had a good downpour after midnight. 52f at 8 AM. a friend of mine from Madison area just had her cat to the vet for urinary blockage. $4ooo.oo not a typo.. then it had to be put down anyway.. there has to be a limit of what...
