I'm missing my roses
Comments (21)I'm so glad my garden could bring enjoyment to you. The pics certainly are a welcome contrast to the thin layer of snow I can see outside my computer window right now! Carla, hey, if you are ever wandering by southeast Kansas, make sure you give me a call and I will give you a personal tour of my garden. The neat edges--I get them the hard way. The garden was deep-dug several years ago to get rid of weeds. Then heavy mulch spread. Then periodically I get on my hands and knees and pull back the grass (including bermuda grass--ugh!) that want to spread into the garden. Then I run for the lawnmower, set it on low, and quickly mow around all the edges. Have to do that 2 or 3 times a season if I want to keep it half-way neat. SuzyQ--your plans sound great. I predict a beautiful garden in your future! And Ray and lesmc, same prediction for you two. My gardens have been maturing and slowly expanding for 25 years now. Time, patience, and care (and getting rid of your mistakes--LOL) are crucial ingredients in any garden. Redsox and Kate--I'm glad to hear the stepping stones work for you. I put a lot of hard work into doing that. When I moved here centuries ago, there was a big pile of rather large (and heavy!) sandstones. Couldn't figure out what to do with them or how to get rid of them. So I decided sandstone paths were the only solution. Some of those suckers are heavier than I can lift--as my son and nice neighbor who moved some of them for me will testify. I hope other people will post pics of their gardens. I would enjoy looking at them also. Kate...See MoreI'm afraid of my own bathroom remodel...
Comments (14)patser: The home is 1880, but that side of the house is more like 1950. The second floor seems well constructed. Currently there is no tub in that bathroom. We want a 6 foot soaker tub (looking at Kohler Archer, tub weights 80 lbs, 72 gallon capacity). I would see us filling it half full maybe 1-2 x a month. I'm not aware of any work that would have cut into the floor joists. The second floor looks like it was added in the 50's or 60's, was immediately decorated in rust colored shag and old time car wallpaper, then not touched since. Currently floor is carpet. Right now there is a shower, about 3x4, that is tiled. Our overall goal is to bring in the two closets that are behind the bathroom, relocate and rebuild shower, add tub, relocate sink making it a double vanity, leave toilet where it is. We plan to gut the walls (paneling) and remove subfloor to eyeball the joints and to move plumbing. Thanks!...See MoreWhy isn't rabbit cheaper? Aren't they sorta born pregnant?
Comments (16)When I was a child Dad bought me three rabbits, a buck and two does. We put them in the chicken coop. In a year we had 119 bunnies, and that didn't count the ones we ate, we gave away, etc. I never did manage to sell one, no one here wants a bunny. You literally cannot give them away, then or now. Dad finally opened that door and let them go. When the boys go rabbit hunting at the farm they still get white bunnies, black bunnies, golden bunnies with white feet. They apparently adjusted quite nicely to the habitat because that was at least 40 years ago and their offspring still are everywhere in Norwich Township in spite of the flourishing fox population. And now I have a family of them in the backyard eating my plants. Of course, my theory has always been that if I feed them, I get to eat them, but there's some rule or another about shooting a gun within the city limits. funny, though, if I try to uy dressed rabbit to eat, it's about $5 a pound. We raised them to eat for a while but eventually no one had the stomach to kill them so we quit. I will tell you that you should not put rabbit in a crockpot unless youw atch it carefully. It'll fall apart and then you spent a lot of time picking out all those tiny little bones..... Annie...See MoreTummy Bulge and more!
Comments (1)Feelin -- thank you, thank you. I think too many of us beat ourselves up because we don't look 20 years old anymore. Just the other day I finally said, I'm going to wear this t-shirt that hugs my hips because I like it, darn, and to heck with trying to look like I'm not 65! Who am I kidding!? So, I have a little pot belly. It doesn't make me a bad person, and now I have another reason to not hate my curves. Thanks for the education....See Morejazs
