I just couldn't bring myself to put this on the Xmas song thread as my follow-up post :D.

Additionally, I learned something about crows from that map on that website in your post, FlowerBug. They aren't in a large area of the Southwest US. It has never occurred to me that crows would not be in every city and town continent wide! The ravens may limit their territory here. They don't...

The tree is right on the property line and the branch is quite a few feet higher than my house. Cutting the branch would require professional help. No lower branches can be trusted for the extension ladder but I will see if I can reach the branch with the snowrake handle from the step ladder...

The dictionary was required but, maybe I have it. Yeah, I have a small propane burner with a grate in the garage. Also, there is a supply of charcoal and a hibachi along with a larger grill. Finally, there's a small cast-iron wood stove with never-used metal stove pipe of sufficient length to...

A small yield is probably standard for here, @Decoy1 . The root is purchased from the Asian market in Spring and may be divided between large pots of about 6 gallon size (20 liter). Soil mix is potting soil and plenty of composted chicken manure. After poor results, I try to use the best that...

Why do i identify so easily with these women ... huh?

Catastrophic flooding in western Washington State. Western Montana also appears to have some flooding, likely from snow melt. Nothing like those news stories here with some local, water rescue teams being sent to the westside of the Cascades. In this area, there were several thousand customers...

The most recent 2 Winters have been mild. Over the last few days I have been looking back at weather history and records. They are a little disturbing :D. We never quite know what we are getting into. I thought that I might be able to come up with a cute little rule of thumb — that whenever I...

Flooding in western Washington State. KIRO NEWS I have not figured out where it is worse ;). Interstate highway is closed north of Seattle, schools closed, evacuations. There's more rain coming today, with rain over there to 7000 feet elevation. That will mean more snow melting and more...

You aren't soaking your beans first? I thought that we could only do that with lentils & peas.

Do these tips from the Martha Stewart website for better cooking of dry beans make sense to you? DW is not much of a fan of dry beans so I do very little cooking of them but just seeing a picture of Chickpeas on the website was inspiring for yours truly :), Steve

September through November. Just the US, Marie, not even Alaska & Hawaii (or Denmark, was it??).
