    Friday 6/27/25 Do I sense a smile ?

    Visitors have all gone home. I'll try and catch up on the weed pulling in the garden before they take over, then set up the game cam to see which critters are stealing the tomatoes. Lots of cucumbers to process or give away. Make a trip to the farmers market for some of those huge tomatoes to...

    Shade Gardens

    Sure do miss the old Prarie Home Companion. Was the show good? I do a bit of shade gardening in 7b, it mosty involves doing research into which species tolerate shade in your area and then trying to keep the deer from eating it all. If you want color in zone 6, annuals like impatiens are...

    Droopy lids anyone?

    Had it (blepharoplasty) done on both eyes (one at a time IIRC) several years ago for the same reason, vision obstruction. I was pleased with the outcome and didn’t experience any problems. Post op care involved wearing a gauze pad for a couple of days and a regimen of eye drops several times a...

    It's always something.

    That's a pretty serious brake. Was it cracked already? I earned spending money in my teens mowing lawns and plowing driveways with a Gravely walk behind/hang on to the handlebars beast. That thing was solid and ran forever. Your Gravely looks pretty tough too. Did you hit a tree?:rofl::wave:

    Greek Tacos

    Are you using parchment paper when you smash? It helps keep the burgers together and not stick to the smasher.

    Friday the 13th

    This was my own fault. I put it away with a nice coating of avocado oil and the Blackstone heavy duty cover, but forgot to empty the grease tray. The rodents chewed through the cover at the drip pan and ate all the grease and most of the aluminum, then they settled in on the griddle and below...

    Friday the 13th

    Going to have a house full of family this weekend for a combination daughter's birthday/fathers day bash. Spent several hours resurfacing my Blackstone 'cause some rodent decided to make a nest on the griddle and use it as a litter box. On closer inspection, a lot of the sheet metal had rusted...

    Visitors coming for the weekend means once more I put on the maids outfit and clean,clean, clean. Also, there is an invasion of tree rats in the garden that must be stopped. There were at least five of them in/on the bird feeder this morning and another one has developed a taste for...
