The mating call of Red-Winged Blackbirds. I'd have to agree on cawing crows, if you use your imagination a little bit they kind of sound like monkeys. Crowing roosters is great. Heavy machinery and vehicles usually drive me crazy (very sensitive sense of hearing, actually had to have it lowered...
Shed is good, you could also try strategic planting like planting on south side of building. If you're looking for cacti you could try something like Eastern Prickly Pear or "Starvation Cactus." They're are actually quite a few cacti out there that are fine with colder temps.
Maybe eventually @Wishin' but not anytime soon. Things are sort of a mess here and I need to work on getting that sorted out for now. Thanks for the offer though, very kind of you. One plant can only go so far before you need to wait to propagate it further.
Do you remember how our generous neighbors gave me that acre of land to plant? (Btw, might actually be able to plant this year after all!) Well, he wants to line his driveway (It's stinkin' looooong!) with evergreen trees. He's thinking shorter, maybe dwarf almost, evergreens. Any...
Red and Ridge - if everybody shared your view when it comes to that, I think that we would be more united as a people, and better off in general. Yes, I like that.

Lettuce used to be one of the easiest things that I could start from seed, but for the past three years I couldn't get anything. I don't think that I've done anything that could affect the germination. I just sow the seed over open ground. Should I try starting them in a seed flat? Suggestions?
OH, I'm going to have to get pictures of my favorite knife tomorrow. Stainless steel, handmade in Oregon and holds one heck of an edge! The handle and blade are one piece. The handle is wrapped in paracord. (Sorry, not familiar with any of the terminology.)
It's a nice knife!
April Fools is probably the biggest holiday here!
Tricks played today:
Oregano oil on the toilet paper - it burns!
Clove oil on the toothbrushes (the stuff that they use to numb your mouth at the dentists).
Plastic wrap over the doorways.
A rubber band over the sprayer on the sink (so that...
