Happy 10th anniversary, TOFH!

Yeah. I woke up about 1 a.m. to wind and thunder, and checked the radar picture. There were storm cells to the west and east of us, traveling more or less north. I'm not sure which one was responsible for the twister, but if it had happened just half an hour later, it would have been in a much...

I keep seeing these posts about the weather, and am having a real "count your blessings" moment. I took this on my back porch a few minutes ago: That's not a pond in the background, it's my pasture, which is underwater again, again, again. We got about 2" of rain last night; I keep telling...

May none of us see a time when losing three people in a day seems "normal.":hugs

Mornin', y'all. *sigh* One of these days, I'll learn not to listen to that little voice in my head - the one that said, "you don't need to take notes on this one; no one else is going to want an elephant." :th

When it comes to "fiber arts," there aren't many I haven't at least tried. Quilts don't last around here - someone always lies on em' and just wears the fabric out. :idunno I learned to crochet as a kid (basically self-taught, because I'm left handed). Both of my grandmothers crocheted (I have...

Fer shuurrrrr! Totally!

Thank you! Though to give credit where it is due, my daughter created the pattern for the sheep.

It may have been a "baa humbug" sort of year, but Merry Christmas to ewe!

Maturity . . . what a concept.

Hopefully it won't be long before things for you are just ducky.

You know someone who needs to be digging ditches?

This is how they are trained. Mules can do hunter/jumper courses just like a horse: Notice how most of the obstacles in this training course are highly visible and/or solid looking? That's to give the mule something to focus on, so he knows exactly where the object he's approaching is and can...

If the mule got involved in the barbed wire fence, a jacket wouldn't do much to protect it. The jacket is for visibility. Though equines generally see better than humans do in the dark, there isn't a lot to see with barbed wire - I imagine the mule would see just enough to know that it did not...

If this is the sort of thing I'm familiar with, it used to be called "coon jumping," but because of the possibility of a misconceived racial slur, it often now has a different name. Yes, the mules are doing the jumping, but it isn't like jumping with horses. A horse gets a run-up, while the mule...

See no evil?

That seems to happen to me with a lot I see online. :he

Do virtual carbs cause a reaction?

With the kind of predator pressure I have around here, I have two choices - pen 'em up, or kiss 'em goodbye, because I lose birds that free-range. Sometimes, you don't get a choice you like, you do what you have to do. :idunno In the South, collards are a winter crop; some say they aren't good...

Totally - "no hoof, no horse!" (I swear, I don't know what amazes me more, the things that shoe designers come up with, or the fact that people actually buy them!):th
