she really is for me too... i've never lived with any one else for as long. about 2/3rds of my life.

there aren't any major coywolf populations around here that i know of as there aren't any wolves around either. there are coyotes around for sure. i've seen them running and can hear them yipping some nights. the major predator of pheasants around here is likely the automobile and also some...

forecast said rain chances today after 11am, starting to rain 8:15am...

they may tolerate cooler temperatures but they're not really going to grow much until it gets warm enough. i don't plant the tomatoes here until towards the end of May, if you are at a higher elevation with risks of frost you may want to wait a bit longer or perhaps you only have a few plants...

i can't as i'll be driving miss daisy for both days this weekend. :) besides i live with her... :) :) :)

i'm hoping with the field to the south of us going back to open field and some trees and shrubs planted will get some more pheasants and bobwhites back. we used to hear pheasants calling all the time and would see them around. haven't seen bobwhites in a much longer time.

if you don't actually get a frost the beans should be ok. yes, they won't like it but they should survive.

i have tried many different kinds of fruitcakes... there's a place up north that i used to hang out and help them and such and they made all sorts of things. :) (see my stubbed toes thread in the beginning...)

the deer eat our perennial poppies... they may have even eaten one of the colors here to extinctions, but since i don't spend much time out front in those gardens i may be missing something. :) we started with two colors, a pinkish orange and a more traditional orangeish colored one. the...
