Yes, it does weird out most people, and makes one a "finder". My husband will call me and say "Call so and so, and see what is going on." or "Go to such and such a place and see why we need to go there. (Mostly 2nd hand stores, he restores vintage audio gear and speakers.) Many times I find...

I would LOVE to leave Tucson!!

Kentucky is a bit out of our neighborhood.

Living with my husband is interesting at times... You would think after almost 20 years of marriage, I would get used to his "knowing" things he can't possibly know, but somehow does. Last night about 7:15pm, Rich says "I feel like having Grouper." (a type of fish that I have never seen here...

We live in a valley, with pretty high mountians all around us. Mt. Lemmon is about 10,000 feet. The mounitans get snow for sure when it rains in the winter, but down here we don't see it very often, once every few years we get some, but it never sticks more than a few hours.

Rather than type in and post what I just put on my blog. I will save wear and tear on my old fingers and just give you the link if anyone would like to see the Snow we had in the desert this week. http://glenncottage.shutterfly.com/1673

It was snowing here in Tucson!!

Now that the chickens are laying again, I put some to good use... I am calling it "Meatloaf Surprise"

Oh my goodness! Just saw this thread. My prayers are going up for a complete recovery! I was thinking of the Pediatric Cancer Charity by Danny Thomas, City of Hope. I don't know if you are near any of their hospitals, but they may be able to help you with chemo treatments. And they advertise...

I went back and looked at all the previous posts. It was a while ago now that I posted my soap labels. I came up with a new label for Travel size soaps. The goats went on a "vacation" and it fits right into a "Travel" theme.

I have babied these peppers all winter. Since it will soon be time for the plants start growing again, I figured I'd get the peppers off the plants.

Yes, it is possible... And lye can be dangerous. You need to wear good hand and face protection in case of splashes. (Don't ask how I know!) Many craft stores have a section with soap making supplies, and there are tons of suppliers on the web. Here are some links on making soap without...

I make them to put on little cakes. They are "ok" not my favorite thing to eat...They taste like a violet smells. Flowery, do you rememeber "Sen-Sen"? http://www.oldtimecandy.com/sen.htm It was said to be licorice flavor... but it always tasted like soap to me. I just read up on it.. and...

I have been looking for ways to preserve the many violets I have this year. There was an interesting book I got at the Library on "Flower Pounding" Here is my first attempt at Flower Pounding. I used watercolor paper. and I am planning to use it as a bookmark. And then there is always the...

So far only single yolks. I wonder if it was a fertile egg, would the chick be any bigger? We aren't allowed roosters here in the city.

I finally got a photo of my Lavaneh and French Bread Toasts! I am so happy I got a special pan for making French Bread! It works great!! Now I can make my own little "toasts" for serving my cheeses.

I have one chicken that consistantly lays eggs that are too big for any carton or tray.

Aren't baby goats just the cutest of animals?
