These are pictures taken at different times over the past few weeks. I had intended to post them as they were taken, but life, being what it is, got in my way. All subjects are not actually “wild”, but since our entire grounds have become, it fits. All subjects are masterpieces from the Master’s hands.
The [...]

I love to work outside in my garden, but I’m not very heat resistant. Once I get over-heated I am in likely to end up with a vicious headache…migraine proportion. A few years back someone shared a cool down tip with me, though for the life of me, I can’t remember who. I keep a [...]

Late last week my DH has surgery on his shoulder. As a result my computer time has been short.
Ooglebloops stopped by and commented on my spring fever giveaway and mentioned growing potatoes in tires, an idea I shared with her. I thought I’d share some pictures of how well they are growing. This method [...]

The past couple days have been rainy in Mississippi. The weather has not been fit for man nor beast. Our poor dogs were stir crazy and the chickens spent the better part of forty-eight hours in their coop. This morning the sun came out and our critters rejoiced. When I got back from town this [...]

Our keets are growing fast and are leaving behind the “quail look” of newly hatched guineas. They’ve started getting gray feathers and their necks have gotten longer. This morning I introduced them to their new home for the next couple weeks or so if we are fortunate. They are still in my washroom, and I [...]

Even though another blast of cold weather is expected to move through the southeast over the next few weeks, it feels like spring today. Days have warmed enough our lettuce bolted and dons tiny flowers. I’ll let it go in hopes of harvesting seed for the fall. Pansies are their full glory but soon the [...]

I love guineas. They are better watch dogs than most dogs at announcing visitor and keep hawks, rats and snakes out of their territory. A flock of guineas make more racket than a T-ball team. They are wildish and rowdy…free spirits in every way. Guineas are the gypsies of the bird world. Vagabonds, every one.

My blogging friend Jayedee is having a spring seed giveaway. Woo hoo…it doesn’t get any better than that. Spring fever is creeping up on me as I type. Our winter garden has kept it at bay, but I am already yearning for homegrown tomatoes and have visions of freshly dug potatoes dancing in my head. [...]

A while back I shared a picture of the beautiful red passion flower plant that fills an arbor and meanders along our fence and high into the trees behind our dog yard. It has wowed me with multiple, brilliant red blooms since mid-summer. It will continue to bloom until a hard freeze calls its striking [...]
