Electricity... you can't live without it or with it much of the time. I've got some of my own electrical woes.

What a strange life St Paddy had! I never knew this; thanks for the history lesson. And for the AccuRadio link. Mabel and I shall celebrate our shared ancestry from far northern isles across the seas by wearing green, and in my case the drinking of the beer later today.

Indeed Spring has sprung! The glacier covering my back yard is now nearly all melted, I've been able to walk my stir-crazy dog around the pasture and to the mailbox, and daffodils and daylilies are staring to poke their heads out of the ground.

I saw it from my bedroom window. This was also the "worm moon" so named because this is the time of year when earthworms emerge from the ground, attracting flocks of robins. (One news person once remarked,"They could have named it the robin moon, but no, they settled on worm moon!")

Thank you! That little concert was delightful. Your DD has a good point.

Welcome from Vermont!

I probably could, but I'd have to connect my TV to the internet, and I've resisted doing that for security reasons. I'm pretty confident they will re-run the series, and If not, it should become available on DVD.

No kidding?! All I could find online were streaming outlets, yet here it was on an old school TV network! I set it to record the series. All the schedule shows right now is episode 4, but I'm assuming they will air the last episode of this season, as well as re-running earlier episodes...

Drat, this show is only available on streaming. I'll have to wait until it comes out on DVD, which hopefully it will do.

I had not heard of it before, but now I shall seek it out! Thanks for the suggestion. :)

If they like it, why not leave it?

Whoever said such nonsense? Dunno about straw or shavings, but horse manure is a gardener's gold. People today have lost touch with nature, and with the cycle of plants nourishing animals, and animals in turn nourishing plants.

Don't feel too bad; mine were all eaten by voles. (My daffodils fare better because apparently they are not so tasty.)

What a beautiful sight!

Sewing is one of those near and dear to my heart activities that I never seem to have time to work on. You should see the gigantic collection of sewing projects piled up on sofas and tables all over my house! Few things are as relaxing and satisfying to me as sewing and reading, yet somehow...

Wow, that is steep. In my state we have more water than any of us want, and I think everyone living here wishes we could have sent our excess rain water out west where it would be welcomed. We've had catastrophic flooding with many people losing their homes and farmers losing crops. Hopefully...

The variety of sweet goodies at your cafe is indeed lovely! I'm sure I'm not alone in wishing you were closer and I could visit in person.

Very sorry about Blinky. He was a beautiful cat. Not knowing is the worst. :-(

For sure on avoiding processed foods from Big Ag. Bad for the environment, the poor animals farmed in this way, and health. 99% of everything in my kitchen is organically grown, locally in summer, and from pasture-raised animals. Also I agree that small controlled burns would go a long ways...

Thanks for the replies everyone. Like you, Flowerbug, I'm a big proponent of green energy and diverging from fossil fuels, but placing a lithium battery storage facility so close to this farming community was a boneheaded move. I think going forward, for my own sanity and health, I'm going to...
