I hit the mother load the other day. A neighbor moved out and there were bags and bags of items at the curb. I brought a bunch of it home. Two floating shelves, tons of canning jars, a king size ralph lauren quilt, ralph lauren twin comforter, clothes, shower curtain and rings, a white vase...

This is a favorite. I was given his book by my best friend when my 20 year old son was born. I like to give it at baby showers. Still makes me cry whenever I read it.

Unfortunately we have raised generations of children who do not have any basic skills like budgeting, comparison shopping or a work ethic! I don't understand why they would be offended by cheap napkins and plates as food stamps do not pay for any paper products. Children do learn what they live...

As far as I know it has not taken effect yet. I am over the 10 limit,ssshhhhhhhhhhhhhh. I would not worry about it until it happens. My neighbors are closeby, but do not mind. I hope I am a good neigbor and I share my eggs. No complaints thus far. I am more concerned with the dog/cat limit they...

I had a broody hen and let her sit and hatch out some eggs. Two hatched on Sunday. One was dead when I found them and another died a little later. I moved her nest box and the rest of the eggs and my hen into a dog crate. At the same time I was collecting eggs from the other nest. Weeeellllll I...

Thank you for this story. It makes me happy that you were able to love and appreciate your mom and tell her that. She did love you to give you a safe and loving place to be raised.

Is it possible for you to get some goats or just borrow some temporarily to help clear out the brush and brambles?

I had a silkie hatch out a Silver appleyard duck last year. So he would not be alone, i bought a couple of chicks at the feed store. My little silkie mama was too cute taking care of them. The appleyard got huge fast and she would still try to cover them and mother them. He was pitiful when we...

FYI- Red hair dye fades pretty fast. So wash it and rinse it a few times each time you wash your hair and it should fade some. I have done the same thing- it can be quite shocking!

Your Dora looks alot like my Easter Egger hen with the same coloring, shape of tail and pea comb. Mine is a bantam size hen and lays a bluish egg. She is a hardy girl- she survived a terrible infection last summer caused by an overzealous Rooster. She is skittish, but a wonderful little hen...

I bought some Olive eggs from someone here and unfortunately due to some thunderstorm and the power going out 3 times, only 1 egg hatched. That was in August. I collected my first olive green egg this weekend from my sweet bearded olive egger hen, named- da dat da " Olive" of course. Will post...
