I hesitate to say "inexpensive" because what one considers inexpensive, another probably thinks it's over their budget so please, take this post as I'm meaning it to be - a recommendation for anyone considering a tablet for reading or stitching or some other "only one" type thing that isn't going to take a mortgage on the house to buy. Most of you probably remember the story about my "green" ...
Sweet Potato Feast
I seem to be feeding lots of critters - mice, moles, roly poly bugs (pill bugs). They feasted on the sweet potatoes this year. That's just what I found in one bed! There were many clumps of roots with no potatoes so I know they ate the whole thing. There's one still eating! When I would pull the potatoes out of the ground, there were thousands of bugs on each one that they were ...
Hibernation Time
For many years I've tried to do all the real shopping for everything we need by October 1 and not have to go shopping from October through December, and hopefully through January. I know that Vince will be going to the store many times between now and February 1 and I'm pretty sure I'll end up going with him a few times just because we're stopping at the store on our way to or from somewhere else ...
Small World
Last night we had an Azure pickup. The pickup times vary and we never know when they're going to be - day or time - until a few days after our order closes. We've had them at 8 a.m. and I think the latest we had before yesterday was 5:30 p.m. but yesterday's pickup was at 7:15 p.m. We don't go out at night so I was a bit concerned. We got there about 7 and the truck was already there unloading so ...
A Great Tuesday
The not so great part is that the dachshunds had me up at 4 a.m., which seems to becoming a habit with them. But, make lemonade with those lemons! I was going to leave the house little before 9 to go stitch with a friend so I thought about trying to go back to bed but the dogs wanted to play so I did a bit more stitching on Love is the Key by Teresa Kogut. A bit of photo bombing by the ...
Jerusalem Artichokes
Years ago, I think it was 2001 and 2002, we spent a week at a cabin in Georgia. The other day when I was at the dentist, she asked me where was my favorite place we ever went on vacation and I told her about that little cabin in Ellijay, GA. I loved it there! It was way out away from any other places but there was a little lane that went off into the woods so one day Vince and I walked down ...
