    Things you wish you could say

    We have a grandfather clock. It runs on gravity. It does not have an app. It never will need an app. When the world falls apart, it will run as long as someone pulls the weights once a week. It indicates the time of day. It chimes every quarter hour. That is all, and it is lovely.

    Hubby is tired of: Heat, humidity, more heat. Why can't it just rain!

    Would you enter?

    Same here. Canning for me ramps up about that time. It's mostly all tomatoes and salsa. Though I did make some black raspberry/honey jam... and might have enough berries to make another batch...🤔

    Do Chicks Care About Calcium? Or is it about companies and outdated studies

    My soil is much the same as what @saysfaa has. Last year, I had a tremendous amount of blossom end rot on my tomatoes, indicating a lack of calcium. This year, I added gypsum and a tomato fertilizer to each hole as I planted the seedlings. We'll see if that makes a difference. I hope so; I threw...

    We had a Clock Doc come to look at one of our grandfather clocks. It's the one that hubby's dad built from a kit in 1976. The doc said their life span is usually around 35, so it's not at all surprising that at 49, he's not running anymore. We had two options. (The third of doing nothing was...

    Open Contest Farm Machinery, Car, Truck, SUV, Motorcycle, RV, & Boat Show—2025 BYC Summer Fair

    Not entries. Not our tractors, not my photos. But hubby's boss has an awe inspiring tractor collection. He and his son buy them and fix them. He said it took 3-4 days to get all of them out of the barns, as he only has half a dozen batteries.

    The Old Folks Home

    I got my crown reshaped a bit today. Yay! I can chew on that side now. It didn't really hurt -- 1 on a scale of 1-10 -- but I was afraid that something might be wrong underneath. Nope, all is fine. Tomorrow is my yearly physical. Whee. 1 cup of black coffee, and that's my morning repast. I have...

    What did you do in the garden today?

    Squash those :duc potato beetles! I did find some of their larvae today. They pop when you squish them. Heh heh heh heh.

    Sally's GF3 thread

    A long time ago, I used to read a column by Sydney J. Harris. He had a series he'd write every now and then titled, "Things I Learned En Route To Looking Up Other Things." I learned about what makes jam set here. This was a handy link in a post about using honey to make jam. I also got a recipe...
