Best way ever to load a tractor!

I’m spending the afternoon in the pickup. DH bought a 1936 (“or maybe early ‘37 - didn’t check the serial number) John Deere (with steel wheels) at an auction yesterday. It’s a project tractor for him and our local grandson who is always wanting to work in the shop with Grandpa when he’s at the...

Glad you got him sorted out.

There is something therapeutic about working outside. It’s so calming for me. Even when I know I’ll pay for it the next day (or days). I’m glad you can get out there and find some peace and joy. (What kind of butterfly was it?)

I’m still waiting for just one to go broody!

I have discovered that I don’t bounce anymore either. Just kind of go “splot”.

Hello, Cafe’! Another school year is in the books. I am so looking forward to summer! In two weeks I’ll begin my annual 3-week camp cooking stint, and then… I have no idea. Maybe experimenting with my new toy. I bought a freeze dryer. We’re going to pick it up from my brother next week. He...

We’ve had over 2” of rain before noon, and it’s still coming down. DH decided to be proactive and started the sump pump.

I don’t think I could work from home with that waiting for me outside… I’m 20 miles away from home and I’m still completely distracted with thoughts of being outside in my garden or here…

Love the pond, DL! I feel like I could just park myself next to it and watch the fish and other life for a few hours. Strawberries. I’m hoping to get a raised strawberry bed built and planted this year. Kneeling and bending to pull weeds is getting to be too hard.

I had to look them up to see whether they were the same plant with different names, or if there are two terrible invasive plants. The leaves are different, but the berries look similar.

Sounds like you two are describing buckthorn. Cut it off, pull it out, it just keeps coming back. And it has nice little berries that the birds scatter about. There are groves that have been completely taken over by this stuff. It’s so thick you can’t even walk through them.

Thank you! I have a neighbor that has a freeze dryer, and I’m hoping next time I have a bunch, I can hire them to freeze dry some eggs for me. (I just sold my horse trailer on Monday and am working on convincing DH that a freeze dryer would be a good investment.)

What do you do with your eggs to freeze them?

Good Morning Cafe’! I have tea ready for the tea drinkers. I hope you all have a most wonderful day!

Thank you!

I just want to say, I think your floor is beautiful!

Good Morning, Cafe’! I’m trying to remember who posted the solar eclipse calculator, and if it was here or on the Pond. I have a non-English speaking coworker who was wondering how much of it we would see. (We’ll only see it get dark since it’s cloudy today.)

When I first read that, I expected the rest of the sentence to say something about a neighbor out moving snow or something. That’s the kind of Bobcat we have around here! :gigAlthough we have, on occasion, had the kind you have wander through as well.

Good Afternoon, Cafe’ Another day off school due to “continuing difficult travel conditions”. Glad they called it. I’ve been listening to my county radio, hearing about cars in snowbanks and ditches and a pickup on its side. (No injuries). Things should be settled enough tomorrow to be able to...
