In this area of northern Ontario it has been the wettest summer on record. Today however rain was the least of everyone's concerns. It is possible a tornado went through. It will be a couple of days before all is confirmed. My yard was a mess afterwards of tree branches and small trees down. The...

:lol2: :lol2: :lol2: Sad but true!! Did sound very good lookin' though!!!! :lol2: :lol2: :lol2:

I'd sure be willing to share some of the rain with ya all! Too bad that wasn't possible!! Here in northern Ontario summer has been wet. If August continues as the rest of the summer has been it will have been the wettest in quite some time. No wonder the weeds and I have been sparring in the...

I'm from northern Ontario where moose are plentiful. They are magnificient creatures but bothersome and dangerous on our highways--have seen several dead this spring and summer so far. The mosquitoes and black flies become so bad they literally drive them out of the woods into the open and onto...

I too would be mighty thankful for that warning!!! Hopefully by next Spring I will have chickens, but now that I know snakes may be part of the picture, perhaps I'll get someone else to gather eggs!!! :(

There are deer visiting me quite often--sadly they like my garden best!!! But would I shoot Bambi--not on your life!!!! :) It's the black bears which scare me the most. The other day I saw bear scat between the barn and garden. :o If I go down to the lake I sing loudly!!! It would scare...

Forget it!!!!! My head and my typing just will not co-operate!!! I really am not this dumb!!!!! You will all be scratching your heads wondering what????? :(

Yikes---there are truly those computer gremlins at play today re: my last post--I meant to say "hell to pay" when us gals got out of jail!! I have no idea how my message got messed up!!!!! :???:

Larry: Speaking from a woman's point of view--if us gals were jailed for anything which doesn't measure up to a man's standards or ideals--can you just imagine the hell to pay when we got out!!!!! :D

These are a few which apparently are still in the law books here in Canada!: In Calgary, Alberta businesses within city limits are required to provide rails for tying up horses. :cowboy: It is illegal to pretend to be king. Hmmm--I wonder does that include one's own personal "throne" in the...

Mine is pretty straight forward--I am barefoot most of the time, and a girl, soooo----- :) Plus my grandfather's nickname for me was "wee barefoot girl" so it sort of stuck with me all these years. I just like the feel of wet grass in the morning, and the warm earth. Even stood outside...

Raising pigs was a blast when we had them! We lucked out with feed--there was a restaurant not far from where we lived who give us their leftover breads, rolls, veggie scraps etc. which was added to their feed. One thing we did which may seem a bit strange, but worked, was we threw in an old...

Hi guys and gals--I have been sort of missing in action this last while due to a broken wrist. Finally am castfree! Very impatient however for things to return to "normal"--me and life, not to mention the wrist! :( Good to be back to gab again--have been trying to keep "in the know" by reading...

Sorry to be misleading with the subject--no free cows as in giveaway-free as in getting loose from a truck on a major highway (southern Ontario, Canada) during the rush hour commute to work. Can you imagine the look on everyone's face waking up in a city to find a cow or two standing on their...

When I reach my senior years, I think I'll enjoy #6 the best! :)
