    What did you do in the garden today?

    Hubby is raking the leaves off the daffodils. He rakes the leaves into piles, I haul them off to where I want them. Most are going on the garden, but a couple have gone on the compost pile. I'm going to hoe some weeds when we get sunny days. It won't kill them, but 50s is too cold to dig/pull...

    Name 3 Things You Did Or Will Do Today—2026

    I went to the hobby/craft store for some double pointed knitting needles to finish my latest hat project. I went to the grocery store on the way home. I did a load of dishes. I need to figure out how I want to work the rest of the decreases for the crown of the hat. It's to the "switch to...

    Things you wish you could say

    There is a crap-ton of trash/junk on their porch. A box tumbled off in the high winds we had several days ago, and the styrofoam pieces fell out and blew onto our property. :rolleyes: The adults are busy, I get it. They home school 3 boys, dad is in the academy to become a sheriff, mom works...

    My neighbors don't do this. Ever. I don't think they have a clue that their trash is blowing around. They go out in their front yard and do not see what a mess it is.

    I heartily second this! If something is difficult to turn DO NOT FORCE IT!! I had take my mother's 1972 Viking in for a repair after I'd unknowingly run the needle through a place where it shouldn't have gone. Thankfully, they had a parts machine in the back room and were able to replace the...

    Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

    I kept popping into TSC to check on the chicks. Lots of straight runs, breeds I'm not interested in, or ducks. So I went to the store where I get feed and ordered 4 black Australorp pullet chicks. I missed the April batch, so I'll be getting them May 13th. The lady at the store goes to pick...

    Cool old sewing machine! In case you don't know what "timing" is... As the needle goes up and down with its thread, it needs to be "in time" with the bobbin and its thread. If it's not, the threads don't make stitches. Timing is not something I would try to adjust on my machine. I would take...

    6weeks old Bielefelder, pullet or cockerel?

    We may never know. OP hasn't been on since last July when they posted their question. Just to show how confusing this can be, here is Pip at 5 weeks. Pip was indeed a Bielefelder pullet.

    Question of the Day - Monday, March 16th, 2026

    The chickens have about 230 sf in the side yard for their coop and run. I have two vegetable gardens with about 5000 sf between them, and another 150ish sf for a blueberry bed. The rest of our property has various uses: a green house, a pole barn, "the old garage", some woods, some field.
