I don’t know about you, but I tried Black Friday once, years ago before the day got so big and crazy with people crowding, pushing and fighting over items. Even before all the bigger hassles, I swore I’d never go again. And I haven’t and I ...

BUSY FALL IN ALABAMA
First of all, I can’t believe September and October have just scooted by me! What happened to life slowing down a little after school starts? Seems it is just the opposite these days.
FOOTBALL: This is one area that has been on everyone’s mind and kept us busy this fall. Alabama ...

Recycling an Old House and Other Treasures
During the last three months my brother and husband have been busy taking down an old 'dog trot' house on the weekends. It had enough usable lumber to reuse for a barn for our tractor and other equipment. That was the primary reason for taking on this task.

The Chicks from the Spring Do Their Thing in August
Lucky for me, gardening in August took a back seat with the major tasks of just keeping shrubs, flowers and whatever was still growing in the garden alive by watering. We had over ninety days of 90 plus degree heat with heat indexes often over 100. Everything was suffering. It ...

July’s MeltdownJuly has really been a hot month in the Southeast, USA. In some parts of the South, the heat index has remained 100 + for a number of days in a row. We are having the usual afternoon thunderstorm that sometimes cools things off a bit, but also adds humidity ...

The Heart of SummerEven though summer officially starts in June, to me June and July is the heart of summer time activities. By the end of July, the planting and harvesting of fruits and veggies are just about over for the year. Our fall garden is not usually as big and busy as ...

Gulf Oil Disaster: The Worst Environmental Disaster Ever
I haven’t heard anyone chant, “Drill Baby Drill,” lately, have you? In the South at least and around the Gulf Coast, that would be political suicide. The fears, anger, and plain disgust is raging here and grows worse each day.
As the spill continues gushing thousands to millions (according to whose ...

May Flowers and Laying by the Garden
May has been a good and busy month so far. My flower gardens have had beautiful red azaleas, roses, lilies, Sweet Williams and more. The snow ball bush was covered with big, bright, white flowers. There were some other flowers that were given to me that I don’t know the ...

Spring and Springing into Action
Spring is just a busy time of the year. For me it seems busier than the fall holidays. There is just so much to do. A lot of it is just plain hard work as well.
The Extension Service in Alabama furnishes a calendar for gardener’s which is a great asset ...

Green Living in the Spring, My Favorite Time of the Year!
One of my first post on this blog pointed out that the Canadian Geese were on the move and fall was on the way. Well, today I saw the Geese flying again, this time northbound. They picked a beautiful 70 degree sunny day to fly over and ...
