The most recent are winter scenes so, stay warm: Cabins & Shelters :)

I had Roller pigeons for about 12 years and they were fun. The problem was that I would lose the young ones. Yeah, literally lose them. I really think that I just needed to find out what was necessary to keep them around. An old neighbor had dozens of birds but they were in a much larger...

Oh, that's sad, Stargazer Lilies! I know another gardener who may have had the same experience. She spent the summers in a forest home and had a big garden there. Lyme disease made her quite ill for a year or so. We have Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever here but, I guess, it is all across the US...

Nidal Malik Hasan, a US Army psychiatrist, killed 13 people and wounded 29 others at Fort Hood Texas in 2009. Lots of guns at Ft. Hood that were not in the hands of the psychiatrist.

Lives saved: At the E.R., Bearing Witness to Gun Violence (link) Emergency Room Physician, "Guns, invented to maim and destroy, are my natural enemy." He provides some statistics but you can contact him about his perspective if you'd like..

Well, it pretty much all seems like fun from this far down the road, DogMom! You sure that was "mud" you were running around in? It was always somewhat surprising to clean out the corrals every spring and the "ground level" would drop where the fence tops were way up there whereas we were...

Wouldn't have occurred to me to ask such a thing . . . nor, would I expect it to be asked of me. The lab tests were inconclusive. Only 4 days of multiple people shot in the US and no accounting for murder/suicides or the killing of lone individuals -- I would prefer not to post a link to news...

Your interest in guns and postings on AD over the years is fairly constant, Reba. 6 shot, 1 dead in Columbus, Georgia 4 shot in an Ohio parking lot 1 dead, 3 wounded in San Bernardino, California 2 killed, 2 wounded in Reading, PA 2 dead, 3 wounded in Sacramento, California These are just...

I am mostly just reminiscing about farm life but they say that a farmer tends his crops thru the summer and cares for his livestock thru the winter . . . This old farm boy cannot quite get past it. (If a flock of laying hens in the backyard indicates anything :) .) And, yes. I like pets and...

Switzerland has less than 25% of the gun murders as the United States: Washington Post/UN Chart: The U.S. has far more gun-related killings than any other developed country (link) The interest in guns on AllDeaf is really, really surprising to me. I had no idea that deaf people had so much...

Former Congresswoman Giffords will visit Newtown Connecticut private home, says Lt. Governor's office: (link to Washington Post article). There is a link in the story to her husband's (Scott Kelley) reaction to the news of the Newtown shooting.

At that late hour press conference following the House vote, the president said he would sign the legislation. He left almost immediately to rejoin his family in Hawaii. It was reported on whatever network that I was watching this that he would have to sign the bill with an autopen since it...

Also have a fridge in the carport but nothing is left in there or it would be frozen solid! It's winter but we don't always have much of an insulating cover of snow. It was 7°F this morning and there's not 3" of snow on the ground. It is likely to be quite a ways below zero most any winter...

If "getting everything I want" isn't going to be possible. And, I know it isn't possible. It would seem that "getting the best I can get" would make sense. This would be especially true if it amounts to "the greatest good for the greatest number." (Looks like I'm trying to write bumper stickers...

And, it usually makes it easier to move around out there. More interesting if you have an eye for that sort of thing. My gardens were finally all in 4' wide beds last year. There is only one path with boards but all the paths are permanent (until I go nuts and make some more changes ;)). That...

Nah, just 21st century medical science is all.

Or, who want teachers to pack a gun in their classroom, wouldn't trust a teacher with a union card.

I think I crave good, growing-season weather. Winter can be beautiful but, for me, it is only something to observe and . . . endure. With good weather, a gardener can participate. And, the garden gives back. It is still giving back - Potatoes, onions, leeks, parsnips, carrots . . . I can't get...
