    What is blooming in your garden today?

    Thank you! She just turned 15 one week ago today! It’s been 3 or 4 years now that she’s been showing her age more and more and I’ve been saying I don’t think she will make it to her next birthday. But she keeps plugging along!

    What are you canning now?

    Have you tried goodwill? It might take some patience to find just the right one, but used crockpots, their crocks and their lids are common items at goodwill. I remember needing a replacement plastic lid for the crockpot we got as a wedding present in 1990. (This was almost 20 years later.) I...

    What are you canning now?

    🤭 I just realized that I’m posting in the canning thread of TEG and not SS! Both forums have dark green edges. I am used to posting my bazillions of jar photos on the SS canning thread and this page had a familiar look to it! Well, I guess I will try to be a regular on here too. 😁

    What are you canning now?

    I don’t cook my bone broth nearly as long as you do, but for many years I have enjoyed the process of making broth from chicken and Turkey carcasses (and beef bones once I save up enough in the freezer for a batch). Until I got my electric canner this year, I never canned the broth. Just crammed...

    What are you canning now?

    Bone in chicken thighs I canned last week but forgot to post. I used one jar already, and I really like them. But the bones are pretty soft, so it’s trickier to make sure no pieces of bone get crumbled into your recipe. I might just stick to boneless in the future.

    What is blooming in your garden today?

    I thought we already had a thread like this. I searched and couldn’t find it. This morning as I was waiting for my dogs to go potty, I noticed a few blooms on plants that I thought had quit for the year. I took pictures for the thread and now I can’t find it, so why not just start one? Might be...

    Rose thread + poll!

    I took some photos of the campfire rose in various stages of bloom. They start out with more yellow and then fade to more pink.

    They are pronounced differently. I learned that when I moved here. But apparently Siri doesn’t know that. 😂

    Finnie’s little corner of Indiana

    Well @digitS' I learned something today. First, yes, Morgan County is where I thought it was. Second, Trafalgar is just east of there in Johnson County. Which I was looking up because there is a town there called Greenwood and I wondered if it had anything to do with your ancestors. Alas...

    @Blueberry Acres This one reminds me of a knockout rose I have called Campfire. (Campfire is my favorite one.)

    This is a variegated trailing African violet named Ellie Gardner.

    Finnie’s little corner of Indiana

    Just adding some photos from the third post of my journal because I didn’t realize these weren’t in the previous post.) Here are some photos of how the trees and buildings have grown up in the back chicken area. I tried to find photos that show my “run in shed”. And here is my mailbox...

    Goin' to the Dogs!

    Steve, I have heard of Morgan county, and I think I know where it is, but I am not familiar with Trafalgar. We are actually Michigan transplants. Been here 20 years and I have gotten to really like Indiana. (At first I hated moving “south of the border”, but now I don’t think I could stand a...

    Finnie’s little corner of Indiana

    This is for @digitS' My 100th post! 😊 I’m copying and pasting this from my journal on BYH because it already existed there. It’s quite long (I actually copied and pasted the first two posts here.) Feel free to just skim through this. :lol: Beginning of first post: I posted this over in the...

    Ducks 4 in '24

    @ducks4you ? I was wondering the same thing. @farmerjan had both of hers done at the same time and that seemed like the way to go.
