Well, it finally happened.....
Comments (7)yeah, I knew all about them before I brought this guy home..so I knew what I was in for. I was outvoted..I'm a sucker..As long as he doesnt eat my fish.I dont care what everyone else around here says, he eats a fish, he's gone! It is my pond after all, lol. I have a bunch of little fish, I dont know what kind, maybe about an inch to an inch and a half long, that my daughter netted in the lake we got Frodo from, and we put them in there, and some kinda baby fish that appeared out of nowhere. He can eat them, I dont care, thats why I agreed to put them in the pond. Of course I treated them first. He can eat all the birds, mice, moles, tiny fish, little critters he wants..but if any of my goldies go missing..The Koi is def way too big for him, lol..thank god. I have to admit..I do like hearing him making noise at night. And its fun to watch him eat bugs out of the air. Mondotomhead, he isn't ginormous, but he is good sized. He keeps eating like he does and he will be ginormous, lol....See MoreNothing Happening So I will Take Tops Off
Comments (7)I love your 'standing on your head to see inside the jugs' comment! I've got a neighbor who's seen me peering down into mine each morning; makes me chuckle because she's dying to figure out what I'm doing over here, but I'm not offering information & she's (so far) not got up the nerve to ask! We live in a neighborhood where compost piles not concealed in tidy store-bought bins, happy hens clucking about & rows of taped milk jugs are NOT the norm! I'm still waiting for someone to actually define 'normal' for me...until then, I'll keep listening to my own drummer! Good luck with yours in those temps this week! I'm having to water mine everyday now, so looking forward to getting them into the ground soon. But the next few nights here we've got frost warnings so I'm closing mine back up in the evenings....See MoreWell, if finally happened
Comments (7)If breakage occurs in the canner. Obviously remove all the jars and contents out into a sink. Wash off most of the stuff on the outside of the jars using hot water (the hottest the faucet can deliver). Rinse out the canner and refill with hot, or boiling water (you can always start up another big pot of boiling hot water just in case of such a disaster). Then place the good jars back into the boiling pot and start the process right from its beginning as far as time. It might be that the jars had cooled a bit too much and just didn't get to the same canning temps, so the canning time should be the same, as if the accident never happened. When the jars come out and get rinsed, they do need very hot water so they don't also fracture from major temp changes. You may also hear lids plinking, while they get a rinse, but don't be alarmed. Once back in the canner the lids will pop back out in the center until the processing time is completed....See MoreWell, it's finally happened, Hawk ate one of the birds
Comments (2)Hi Paul, Don't know if you have ever looked @ whatbird.com. I use it sometimes as a place to help with identification. Towards the bottom of the home page, in the middle, there is an option for "in 3 clicks using search". This allows for all sorts of search parameters....where you are located, size of bird, color, patterns, etc. I really like the process of elimination that it provides. I will say though, the pictures aren't always the best, but you can always get some names and then search images elsewhere to help with I.D. You might check it out to see if that helps! Other than that, I can't offer anything.....I have a difficult time I.D.ing (is that a word?)hawks. Good luck....See Moregwlake
