My squash-raising attempts the past 3 years have been, in a word, unsuccessful. Unsuccessful is putting it rather mildly but going into further detail might require a thesauruses and therapy. For some unknown reason the garden gods have deemed me unworthy of squash. ‘Cause you know even a spider monkey should be able to grow…
All babies are not created equal. The truth hurts and the truth is…not all babies are cute. Have you ever seen a baby Panda bear? Hideous. Baby Rat? Horrific. Baby Anteater? Heinous. Don’t believe me? I looked it up, click here for 15 seriously ugly babies. But if ugly babies aren’t your thing, read on! …
I have always loved chickens. Even as a child I can remember toting them about, loving on them, naming them and kissing them. While I still tote them, love them and kiss them I refrain from naming them. But that is another story. Today I’d like to introduce you to the girls. The main girls.…
As you may have seen in previous posts, weeding isn’t my strong point. However I can do one thing, I can grow some pretty ‘taters! Potatoes are, without a doubt, my favorite veggie to grow.

I want you to meet the flock, my reason for being a ‘wicked chicken’, cause it takes a wicked chicken to protect the whole group. So over the next few weeks you will get to meet all the girls. But first of all….top leader, main man, rooster for the ages, lover of hens bantam and standard alike,…
I went to Sam’s last week because I needed butter, coffee and chocolate among other things but these were top priority. I noticed everything was a little pricier than normal, a pain I’m sure you too are familiar with. Then I got to my beloved butter……shitake mushroom! It was over ten dollars! The 4 pack I’ve…
Spring time never fails to show off the beauty of nature, the wonder of re-birth, new birth, reviving mind and body with flowers, cute babies and warm weather. It’s the cute babies I want to focus on. For example this cute baby showed up at work the other day. A lady found it in her…
