I am so sorry for your loss. When DP's father passed some years back we took his ashes and her mother's ashes (that FIL had kept in his closet) and released them together in San Francisco harbor. It was where they had first met so many years ago. Cold, windy, with poring rain all day today, I'm...

That looks really interesting, let us know how it goes?

Oooooo! Thanks so much!

Eating asparagus and sugar snap peas are my reward for getting chores done in the morning. So CUTE! Pupper and all. What breed is that one with the wing bars? I love collards cooked slow and southern style, I need to find another recipe minus the bacon/hamhock, DP is wary of the processed meat...

Oooo, you have water taps built onto your raised beds, I am so envious! I'm going to have to get some for my beds. Dang, that would be so cool! Aw, they are so cute! And yeah, I hate killing them too, it's nice you have some place to let them go. I'm lucky DP planted several of them, even...

That's interesting, I started smelling what seems like car exhaust everywhere sometime about 6 years ago. I finally put it down to age related reasons. It still happens but I think less often. I hope so too, it's got to be miserable.

I'll try, but I'm embarrased to admit I haven't figured out how to move my phone pictures into my new computer yet. Guess this'll get me off the dime. I checked the bunnies first thing this morning and all seven were alive, warm, and full of milk! My silly fumbling actually saved that one, I...

It's just dusk here so we went out to make sure the kits were in a better position to stay inside the nest box (and to check on the little one that was so cold and weak this morning). All 7 kits were in the nest and all were pink and healthy. We didn't want to mess with them too much so I didn't...

That's my experience too but I've no idea why. I'd love to see that too please. One of the bunny kits was out of the nest box this morning, cold and totally limp. It's tummy was flat so it didn't get milk this morning so I brought it in, warmed it up, and got a tiny bit of warm filtered water...

I'm sorry and we've had warmer, dryer summers too but colder winters. That said, it's still a good climate. *spooky fingers* come to the southern Oregon coast, we have cookies...

GAH, I've fallen behind again! Got the messiest raised bed cleared out but there was so many weeds and grasses to pull, the level has dropped a lot. I think I'll buy some of the crummy bagged soil from a local store and dump all of last years pots, and empty the left over compost tea solids in...

Chilly today but it didn't rain so I let the girls out and got another of the beds cleared. The girls made out like bandits, I tossed them snails and other creepy crawlers as I worked and all was good until I lost my mind and set the tray with the kale on the ground. My girls really like kale...

YAY!!!! Keep swinging @Sueby, we'll have my fantasy commune yet! :wee Ya know, I think that's part of why I love growing tomatoes so much, for a very small space, I get lots of canned goods. Bless your heart for helping out a fellow creature! We only see garter snakes around here, a few big...

Last year was the first time I didn't have enough tomatoes but that was due to the danged weather. I always plant way more tomatoes than I can possibly eat fresh and can. Thank goodness I still had some older jars left over from a previous crop. Speaking of canned tomatoes, DP opened a jar...

Looks like the painted ladies we get in Oregon. They fly really fast like they're late for an appointment. :)
