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...

Good Morning, Cafe’! Gotta love March. On March 11, we had this: Today I woke up to this notice: To be honest, they’ve been making such a big deal about this that I’ll be a bit disappointed if it fizzles. I’m looking forward to a snow day or two. I have a couple of projects I want to get...

Good for her!

I hope it’s a better experience for you when you try the “after the video” approach. It will be in the 60s here again today, too. Makes it hard to want to stay in and clean house (it needs to be done - DS2 and family are coming for the weekend. I spent some time yesterday cleaning out the...

Morning. Water is hot for those who would like some tea. It was hard getting up this morning.

Good Evening! It was 75 and sunny when I left school today. Unfortunately, we had some errands to run, so didn’t get home until 5:00. Sigh…

Good Afternoon, Cafe’! Never fear, there is a bipartisan committee of politicians introducing yet another bill (The Sunshine Protection Act) to end the time change nonsense. At this point, I don’t even care which time they change it to (although my preference would be to have DST in the...

Good Afternoon, Cafe’! It’s been bright and sunny here all day, but not particularly warm. At least not compared to some of the days we’ve had. Low 40’s, so I really shouldn’t complain. Thinking back to the FEET of snow we had on the ground this time last year, things are good! I spent a little...

I think Lincoln Logs and Legos are the best inventions ever.

Sprinkles? Yes, please! Good Afternoon, Cafe’! Local grandkids needed watching last night, so I took the day off today and we had a sleepover. Grandson and Grandpa spent some time in the shop, Granddaughter and I played some Chutes and Ladders and Old Maid. Kids and I went out to the greenhouse...
