Replacing the much lamented 'On My Mind' profile option, this thread is for musings, jottings, whimsies, preoccupations and the rest of the thesaurus for anyone to jot down anything they please.
I can't remember what the maximum character count was before, can anyone else? But anyway it wasn't very many so let's keep to that.
The hate part is waking up this morning to 4 inches of snow, and I guess it's going to snow till 11 pm.
And last week it was 65, spring was here.😖
ten inches of snow, 2 hours of freezing rain, now more snow. We had a fall snow storm, now a spring storm. Wondering what summer will bring
That’s wild! Now I see why you call beavers evil.
You know what? The beavers were there before man was. They live and build in water.
So pretty much man gets the choice to live in his cities with concete under his feet not grass, or he learns how to share the habitat with the wildlife who was there long before man was.
It is true that we have invaded wildlife’s territory. The animals have to have a place to live.
It’s amazing how wolves are traveling along highways now.
Bears are ending up in people’s yards, so are alligators and coyotes.
There are challenges for those who live close to wildlife. I feel for you.
Farmers are always dealing with challenging issues.
We are all part of the circle of life, yet it can be difficult to live harmoniously.
There are problems in the city with wildlife too.
Coyotes will eat small dogs if owners don’t supervise their pets. Alligators will end up in swimming pools when there is severe flooding.
That may happen. Coyotes prey upon small animals.
Mankind has been eating and farming for a very long time without beavers, coyotes, and other wildlife becoming extinct. As for food sprouting from concrete, well it's true that it doesn't.
That being said, former in-laws live in a three-family apartment style house in a city with a backyard the size of a postage stamp. Yet, they grew so much produce in that small space that they were able to give it away and also do canning. They bought very little produce.
You forget I'm Greek and Italian and we grow produce no matter where we're living so your farmer argument is kind of weak.
Let me ask you something. According to your profile, you're an "at home" mom which I assume to mean you don't work and your husband provides for you and the family. Does your husband make the family's living growing crops or raising livestock? Is he a farmer?
Or do you have hobby farm? Making a living off the land and playing at it are two very different things.
Making a living at it and doing it for fun are two very different things.
What's on my mind is this return of winter. ❄❄❄ Don't like it!!!
Cross posted, cw. I want to see the snow gone too. Hope your seedlings do well.
What kind of peppers do you grow?
My daddy grew green peppers in large pots. He gave plenty of them to all of the family and neighbors.
We season our food here with the ‘holy trinity,’ green peppers, onions and celery.
My grandfather was a wonderful gardener.
The Yankees were my grandfather’s favorite baseball team. Mom’s brother moved to the East Coast after WW11. When grandma and grandpa visited him, my uncle took Grandpa to a Yankees game. Grandpa was on cloud nine watching them play.
We have a football team but no baseball team. I love baseball because I used to watch it all the time with my grandfather. My younger brother played baseball. So did my godchild. I love watching kids play baseball.
My girls played volleyball. Tons of kids love playing soccer. I know nothing about soccer!
Oooooh, sounds great 👍! You’re going to have to freeze some if they take off, or share with others like my dad did.
I love all kinds of peppers.
Feel better soon! 💐 🥣. Sending flowers and soup!
Your dog is beautiful!
I am so sorry. She looks like she was a sweetheart! Our beloved pets become part of our family.
There was a slight increase in numbers but they were within normal range. They will continue to monitor.
Thanks everyone for your thoughts and prayers. I appreciate it.
