what does the label/directions on the package say?

after putting the trash out this morning i went back for a nap too. :) i guess i needed it... the local town has some flooding and the road is closed through town but there is a way around it all so that works for Mom's commute. i'm not sure if one of the bridges is the problem or something...

it sure is! i've driven it a few times. :)

compared to my last effort at getting a bean picture to look half decent (in terms of color and details) this one i do like a lot more: thumbnail image: more detail: i had to do some recalibration of my monitor anyways plus i tried out some new programs and learned a bit more on how to...

the other day i took some time to recalibrate my monitor to make sure the colors were as good as i could get them. that was step 1. step 2 was today where i could take some time to play around with a few programs and see how they worked. i like these results a lot better than what i had...

every time i post to this thread i'll get up and do at least 10 bends and 5 pushups. here i go... wish me luck... if you don't hear back from me... :) :) :)

if you were local you send someone to come dig up some from here. i've already killed off a large patch of them that were taking up a vegetable garden but we still have some in other places i wouldn't mind getting rid of, orange, red, yellow - not sure if any of them are Stella D’Oro.

i have never in my life regifted a fruitcake - i will have to take it at some other's word as if they've done such a strange thing...

that is yet another reason why i like to keep it simple. my bucket with tools in it usually contains: my mud shoes, a knife, the shovel, the scraper and the cultivator. one bucket. and another bucket for weeds that go to to the weed pile that i don't want to bury (most of the time there's not...

we had flood and flash flood watches and warnings out for yesterday and last night but i've never been worried about it flooding here badly enough that it causes damage to the house. it is so flat here that it would take storms dropping several feet of rain at a time for us to get floods up...

glad nobody was hurt.

we don't need any more rain. wish i could send it out west where they need it so badly... it's been raining quite a few hours and it looks like there's a lot more coming - hope it goes south of us. can't quite tell.

i've yet to meet a fruitcake i didn't like... even those ones that people get for the holidays that almost nobody likes - for some reason i do... i've heard them called doorstops. sugar, sugar and more sugar and chewy textures and various fruits and nuts. however the much better ones our...

hahaha, while looking at something else i found some pictures from way back that i thought i had lost. :) most of them won't get posted but at least now i have the originals instead of only thumbnail sized ones that i had loaded to my website on-line. oh yay, more projects to do... :) :) :)

fences required up to above the browseline of any critters that might do that in your area. otherwise they're pretty and smell great. if you do fence them leave enough room so they can grow out but then also the critters will trim them for you when they reach the size of the fence. so make...
