    Aerogardens!

    It is starting to look like warmer weather and Spring is going to be happening before too much longer, so today, I am starting some tomatoes and more tree collards in the Aerogardens. By the time they are getting too large for the aerogarden, i should be able to transplant them into pots...

    Dog and Cat Friends'

    We have been putting out food, water, and shelter for stray and feral cats for several years now, and we have some that come each day and are almost like they belong to us. One cat had kittens a couple years ago, and those cats we fed from the time they were little, so they were actually pets...

    It looks like we are going to finally have warmer weather coming up, and I am SO ready for warmer days and sunshine . I look forward to spring each year, and having the warmer weather, and the earth turning green again.

    What video are you watching on YouTube?

    I just watched this one that is by a 93 year old lady, and she talks about what growing old is really like. Having made it into my 80’s, I can say that I agree with everything she says here. It is important to enjoy each day of life as much as we possibly can, no one know what tomorrow will...

    What is going on in the UK!

    That is what I was reading on X yesterday. They expect him to step down soon.

    Anything left on your bucket list?

    Of course, I want to come, @Mary Stetler ! I will jump right on the nearest train and head your way and then we can train travel out to see the ponies. It looks like it is going to cost you around $20,000 to bring one baby home though.

    Anything left on your bucket list?

    There are two things that I would really love to do, but they are so unlikely to ever be doable, that it really does not count as being on a bucket list, where you actually intend to do that thing. The first one that I really wish I could do is to go one one of the cruis ships for just a short...

    Not working anymore, except for what I do here at home taking care of the house. I am 81 and have had heart failure for the last 20 years, so I have not been physically able to have an actual paying job for a long time now. The pacemaker helps, but still I am not in any condition to do anything...

    Anything left on your bucket list?

    Yes, horseback riding is off of my bucket list now, too. I think that if I had something to stand on, I could get on the horse just fine, but my balance is not good anymore, and if the horse stumbles, spooked or even lurched for some reason, I probably could not catch my balance fast enough to...

    Last thing you bought

    I bought Marco Poodle a new dog bed to sleep on. It is soft and almost like faux fur inside and he really likes it. I put it in his condo, and he seems to enjoy the new bed. The cats discovered that Poodle had a new soft bed, so now they are sneaking into his condo and sleeping there when Poodle...

    What's your Weather like today

    We are finally back above freezing again here in Alabama, and it is supposed to reach 50 here today, which is more like our typical winter temperatures at this time of year. I am totally ready for it to be warmer and for spring to start showing up anytime, but we still have to make it through...

    Anything left on your bucket list?

    They are smooth, and they are small, around 13 hands, but sturdy and ridden by adults. Their gaits are really fast, and even though they looked smooth, they didn’t seem as calm natured as the Peruvian Paso is. Many of the Peruvians are around 14 hands, so they are not hard to mount, and very...

    Reagan Put Us Here

    Here is a chart that shows what nationalities make overall as an income. This is the median income for each ethnic group, so some will make more and some less, but it is easy to see who is taking home the dollars in this country. Most of the Indian workers are here on a visa, and some are here...

    Piers Morgan thanks New York for electing Mamdani

    The latest thing coming out about Mandami is that his mother was a close friend of Jeffrey Epstein, and spent a lot of time on the island . People are wondering if Mandami might even be Epstein’s son. This picture shows Mandami as a child with his mother, Epstein, Clinton, Bill Gates, and Jeff...

    Anything left on your bucket list?

    I really love gaited horses, too, and the Tennessee Walker is one of my favorites. The absolute smoothest, in my opinion is the Peruvian Paso (not the Paso Fino), and they are like floating their gait is so smooth. They are shorter and stouter than the TWH, and mine was easier for me to get on...

    Flu / cold

    Our body heats up when we are sick to a temperature that can kill invading bacteria or viruses, so a fever is the body’s natural defense for healing. Unless the fever gets high enough to damage the brain, it is an important part of getting well faster. When a person takes medication to stop the...

    Anything left on your bucket list?

    I remember the book about MIsty of Chincoteague, by Marguerite Henry, if I remember right, and beautiful illustrations. It would be awesome to see them and be there in person. It seems like most of the compact pony breeds come from places that get really cold, and I remember any shetlands that...

    🔴 LIVE - MAJOR WINTER STORM COVERAGE WITH STORM CHASERS ON THE GROUND

    Thankfully, this round of the storm is hitting further east than where we live, although we are still having really cold weather and a lot of hard wind coming out of the north. We are at 24F right now, with a feel/like of just 9, which is actually a little better than it was earlier. But with...

    Last thing you bought

    Starks Nursery is having a sale today and only around $2 shipping, so I ordered some asparagus plants. They won’t be shipped until some time in the spring, so it will be warm enough to plant them by then.

    What's your Weather like today

    It has been trying to snow here, but mostly just blowing around some snowy gusts of wind, straight out of the north. It has been saying that the F/L temp is below zero, but now it is saying we are up to a whopping 4 degrees, with the wind chill. We are huddling up inside by the gas heater and...
