January Lawn & Garden To-Do List Most of us begin the New Year armed with plans, projects, and resolutions. The January garden provides a stark contrast as it hunkers down to wait out the winter, but there’s still plenty to do when the weather cooperates. The month of January takes its name from Janus—the Roman god of Gateways and Journeys—who is often pictured looking both backward and forward at the same time. New Year’s resolutions spring from this tradition, and your January gardening can follow suit. This is a great

The Squirrel in the Driveway ~~By Kenosha MargeI was looking out the window, watching the birds in the little feeder outside when I noticed a squirrel ambling down the driveway. Smack down the center the furry-tailed little rodent went as if he hadn’t a care in the world and was the owner of the houses on either side. Surrounded by huge snow banks he casually made his way. He was content and well fed by the nuts I had left for him and his friends in the dish on my back porch.Suddenly the little squirrel saw a shadow that ca

I just do. So, in honor of this year's tree and those from the past, I thought I'd highlight some of the ornaments that have graced our trees over the years.The blue bird of happiness.First up, one of my favorites. A bird feeder, filled with seed, and a little blue bird. This one always makes me smile.Behind it, on the right, is th
Wonky Weather Woes Once upon a time on a Saturday night, light years away, Rosanne Rosannadanna used to say "it's always somethin'" It seems lately, Rosanne was quite accurate. This morning I woke up to insanely gusty winds and saw this on my home page, which is also the local weather page:The thing is, I already knew how bad the winds were this morning since I looked out the window and saw all the damage. Nothing like what you might see from a hurricane, but with winds howling through here at 60mph, you end up wi

Blogger's Block The garden room sure is cozy. The fire is nice and the coffee is so good. There's not much happening in the garden. There's a challenge in writing about gardening when you aren't gardening in the winter. If it would snow, then I could get some good photos. Those books might give me an idea. I could play Sudoku to wake up my brain with a bit of exercise. At my age... oh my, I don't want to think about that. Anyway, solving puzzles is supposed to help the brain stay young. Right now, I'l

not the same...but trying Jeff loved to build wooden toys for Liv. He built her a wooden doll pram. He had put so much thought into how to put it together and how to provide some traction for the wooden wheels (he used rubber boot bands from his fish boots). He built a wooden toy kitchen complete with an oven rack made of wood dowling. They made a bird feeder together the week before he died. He always signed his work, "Love Daddy". He loved to putter in the garage with some project especially when he could see the joy

The birds started small, just like she did. Baby sparrows, fallen from the nest, their nests neatly snapped as Fortuna laid them on before the back patio door. Her kill was almost dainty. After that, I found a live bird in the garage, nestled in a temporar

Choosing the Right Hummingbird Feeder You have learned how to make nectar to feed hummingbirds, but what is the best way to feed them? All bird feeders are not created the same and hummingbird feeders are special types that are specifically suited to their feeding habits. If the hummingbird cannot reach the nectar they will not come back to feed. You don’t want other animals eating the nectar either. These are some of the considerations that should be made when deciding on the style of feeder that you want to use. Types of
Nuthatches & Hairy Woodpecker I put the bird feeders up this weekend and dumped the dirt out of the big ceramic pots I grow herbs & peppers in during the summer. Took the screes down and put them in the shed & stacked the wooden deck chairs under a tarp. I’ve still got a few more things to button down in the yard, but the fall chores are nearly done. The first day there were no takers (that I saw) on the feeders, but yesterday as I was out working I saw a pair of nuthatches making regular trips between the feeder &a
Today at Kingsford - New at the feeder October 22, 2008 · Filed under birds Tagged bird feeder, Hairy Woodpecker I had grand plans for a long entry tonight, on one of three subjects I have percolating in the brewer. However, none of the three happened, for various reasons. One was that I decided, on a whim, to make chicken pot pie for dinner tonight. Of course, anything that requires a crust is a bit time-consuming, so that took up more time than planned, which then ran into the other little tasks. So a short one tonight.
WHO RAN OFF WITH MY CHEESE? My yard is undergoing a landscape makeover which requires that the bird and squirrel feeders be removed for the process. One morning a squirrel raced frantically back and forth along top of the wooden fence as if crying: “Who swiped my feeder? Who swiped my feeder?” Change. It disturbs the peace of even the smallest of God’s creatures.Just in case you haven’t figured it out yet, God is the only unchangeable in our world. He’s the same yesterday, today and forever. And no matter how many people w

I’m still getting questions about what I need or want for my apartment Well, I would really like a bed. What I have now is a twin mattress on the floor. The rest is not as necessary. How about if I tell you what I DO have… The apartment came with a table and two kitchen chairs, a bedroom vanity made of metal and glass plus a chair that fits under it. I use the vanity to feed Aleka her cat food above dog level. I have gotten smarter and use the chair to help me off the floor when getting out of bed The apartment also came with a broom and dust pan and a crazy wing
