Coffee anyone ?

This is what happens when you use your husband's phone...... None of your words are stored in the predictive text and auto correct messes you up to high heaven! That was supposed to say "oh mylanta" not "oh my pants"

But "oh my pants" sounds funnier!!!

Yes it does!!! I just went to re read it and it took me by surprise!

This is my poor attempt at herb pots. A few are doing great, a few are not.... Still can't get lavender and chamomile going good.....

Do they get full sun? I know lavender needs full sun. I have 2 lavender plants, one is in full sun and it grows like crazy. The other is in part sun, still grows good but not as big and bushy like the full sun one. They are both planted in the ground (flower bed alongside the sunroom). I've never planted chamomile so I'm no help there.
I have a mint plant in the flower bed as well and more mint growing wild down by the well area.
Is that basil on the front left of the pic? I use basil in the coop too. After I harvest the leaves for drying, instead of throwing away the stems, I tied them up in a bunch and hung them in the coop.

Yes, basil front left. Middle was oregano, right is mint three in back are curled parsley. I'll have to try that basil trick. I have been just picking off what I need....

I'm good with purple. It's a fav of mine. But maybe with a bronze/coppery trim..... Lowe's (and probably other places) has this "hammered" copper spray paint that looks fantastic on all sorts of surfaces and it's outdoor graded....View attachment 51579 View attachment 51580 View attachment 51581

Notice the brick red and white trim on the house...... I'm done with the red and white...... Unless I get a set of those "pioneer woman" dishes from wally world. Now they are gorgeous and country chic!

I used that hammered copper spray paint on a metal cabinet. It only hammered in one spot, but I still like it.

I kinda like the "oh my pants"

Does anyone pickle pickles in whiskey??

 

[promiseacres]

Have no clue about whiskey and pickles...

But coffee is on. Woke up due to storms....

I've been pickled before but can't imagine getting hammered on whiskey pickled pickles.
However, for all you free rangin', 100% organic, gluten free, au naturel, non-gmo, no artificial preservative types, you can plop down $16 (+taxes and shipping) for 22.5oz of rye whiskey pickled pickles and be the toast & darling of that new age genre.

(seems like a complete waste of good rye whiskey to me tho)

@Bruce was cracking a joke because has my great grandmothers recipe for homemade eggnog. It calls for 12 jiggers of whisky and it will blow your head off. My grandmother made it and it was freely given to even the children. I remember getting snockered on eggnog at Christmas. LOL I make it now but I use 6 jiggers of whiskey.
