Floof: Do you have a favorite bowl?
Comments (30)I probably have more bowls than any one person ought to have. Which is my favorite depends on what I am doing. I have two fairly small size (maybe 2 qt.?) Melmac splatter ware bowls that I absolutely love for mixing small amounts of anything. They are light weight, easy to clean, and I love the slight lip around the edge that makes them so easy to handle. I wish I had a couple of bigger sizes like them. Mixing large amounts of anything calls for the large yellow Pyrex bowl that was my mother's, I have the whole set of 4, and use them often. No idea how old they are, she had them ever since I can remember. I use my electric hand mixer in them, no problems. For my stand mixer, I use the stainless bowl that came with it, nothing else would fit. Also have a few other bowls of various sizes and types, including Tupperware, which I decided many years ago, I really don't like. I mean I really REALLY don't like Tupperware! ! ! And then there are the many different serving bowls, most of which would probably be considered 'vintage' or 'collectible', and a few might even be antiques. A few that came from my Grandfather's home in Germany, and some my mother got in boxes of soap many years ago. I like dishes of all kinds, can you tell?

Comments (45)Same as Amy....I don't deny myself anything if I want it and have the money. I do give consideration to whether or not I really need it, and sometimes I talk myself out of things....like another horse. I like going to thrift shops, auctions, yard sales, etc. My waterlilies and contemplating new ones that I want, and crosses that I want to make. Antique rose cuttings and planning for new ones and getting together with the Rose Rustlers to share cuttings. I eat what I want, when I want it. I don't diet or worry about gaining weight. I like sleeping with three or four of my cats. Walking with three of my dogs...the ones that mind the best and will stay right with me or immediately come back when I call them. I have wanted to walk in the Nati'l. Forest, and now that hunting season is over, I plan to do that...just hope I don't get lost like I did a couple of weeks ago, when I thought I was taking a short cut home, and ended up deep in the forest and stuck in the mud...at 9:30 at night with a dying phone and no flashlight. I enjoy my old horses and seeing them thrive, because almost all of them came from situations of severe neglect. I love when nothing is planned, no one is coming around, and I can spend the whole day by myself and just drift around the place, looking at the waterlilies, roses, fish, going to the old barn and seeing the bats in the hay loft. Fixing nice meals for my wild possums. Listening to my radio guy, who comes on twice a day....See MoreFloof! You've heard of victory gardens.....
Comments (9)I almost bought a blue hydrangea in Wal-mart today. I didn't, though, because I never have had good luck with them. I planted purple potatoes too this year and they are all sprouting nicely. They're Purple Viking and Purple Majesty. Most growing in grow bags and a few in other raised beds. This is the first year I've gotten small asparagus from roots I planted a long time ago. I never thought I'd get any. Planted some 3 year old purple asparagus roots this year and have already harvested a few smallish ones. Some are too small to pick this time around. They came up just a few days after planting! I also bought some Vego-type beds, only mine are Birdies. I still have to put one together. I just transplanted some Kale, spinach and cabbage seedlings into the bigger one this afternoon. The round one I first had them in, soil had sunk quite a bit after a lot of rain so will fill it back up to the top and plant some sweet potato slips in it. Not sure how the cabbage will do, have only tried to grow them once or twice many years ago without success. Last year, though, I had a volunteer come up from kitchen scraps I tossed under some straw in the garden. Best tasting cabbage I've eaten in a long time. Made me hopeful I could grow more. Fun2BeHere, I love snapdragons, one of my favorite flowers but I never seem to have any luck with them and I don't know why. I can grow almost any other flower but that one....See MoreUpdate- found it! (Floof) Address Books- do you still have one?
Comments (55)For the person who said s/he disliked writing return addresses on Christmas, birthday cards, etc., I support several charities and over the years a number have sent sheets of return address stickers, probably enough to last me for 330 years or so. (Intended to write "30" above, actually came out as "39"; should have left it, I guess, being close ... but when I went to aamend, reduplication editor amended it as you see. There aren't that many on hand, I assure you!). I have an address book that's been around for many years. I find that after several amendments have been made on one person's listing, I cut a a piece of glued paper from a received envelope that wasn't fully glued to fit the needed space. ole joyful...See MoreMichael
