So how do you make a bunch of junk look presentable? LOL
Comments (8)It wouldn't be so bad if the stuff was JUNK but its all stuff we need so I fight with it. I'm thinking about taking one of the old boards and making a large GARDEN SHED sign or something like that. Then a smaller TOOLS sign or something like that. Isn't there also a sign out there that says something about buying and selling used junk? LOL I'm sure the neighbors will love that! Most of my neighbors aren't that tidy, either. I think our yard is cleaner than some. Both of my neighbors have homes that need cleaned and painted, overgrown shrubs, actual junk sitting around and only mow or do work outside a few times all summer. A few doors down, they have about 20 junked cars in the backyard! LOL So this is NOTHING! It's just bothering me because last week I was up back playing with DD on her swing set and in her sandbox and the neighbor, his gf and his daughter (she's my age and I went to school with her) were out in the yard planting two trees. I don't think she realized that the wind carries stuff and I heard her make some comment about how I supposely thought I was better than everyone in high school (she did not know me very well then because I did NOT think or act like that!) and now look how I live! I live in a trailer but it's fixed up and the yard is landscaped and I have pretty flowers and items about. Many people comment on how NICE we've made the place! DH even went up in the woods and thinned out the weeds and jagger bushes and made us a fire pit and camping spot. The ONLY messy section is the board pile and what not beside the shed! It's not even JUNK! Oh, I was FUMING mad! I told DH when he got home that I really should have yelled back that I AM better than her! LOL Seriously, though, with her history, I can't believe she had the nerve to say that!...See MoreWhat kind of animal makes a hole like this and what would you do?
Comments (13)WL, "Any special tips for catching them?" Just don't handle them. It is my understanding that armadillos can carry Leprosy. For that reason, and safety in general, any live catch traps should have protection for your hand at the carrying handle. I suspect that the NWS5300 Universal Trap with built-in nose cone trap would be suitable for armadillos. However, several other traps, like the Wickencamp Coon Trap (Model 302) or the Safeguard Pro Raccoon Trap, are suitable for armadillos. For traps with a rollover release, you should anchor the trap to prevent the captured animal from rolling the trap over and escaping. I lost several large gray squirrels before learning to attach an anti-rollover bar (a short piece of concrete re-bar) to my Havahart traps. If you are trying to catch an armadillo, you might want to use TreeBerry paste bait. If you prefer not to use a live trap, you could try a repellent like Whole Control. I have never used it, so I can't attest to its effectiveness. If all else fails, you could always try "the old reliable" Juicy Fruit gum. (grin) MM...See MoreCelery broth - What would you make?
Comments (15)Thanks for all the ideas. I thought the broth would have been perfect for the crab and aspragus soup but asparagus is out of season here and what's in the stores is flavorless. I didn't have any steamed crabs but that got me thinking of that rich broth in the traditional MD crab-vegetable soup and that led me to snapper soup. One of our farmers' markets sells frozen snapper meat so DH ran up and got a pack and an extra bottle of sherry. So that's what we ended up with and invited a couple of friends who like it to come over and share it. The celery stock was perfect with the turtle....See MoreFresh Black Eyed Peas? What would you make?
Comments (13)Yes, must have hoppin' John and some sort of greens. If you're lazy, you can do like I'm doing tomorrow: HOPPIN� JOHN (Foodgawker) 1 pound dry black eyed peas, soaked overnight 4 cups chicken broth 1 pound smoked sausage, sliced 1/2 cup instant rice (or use 1 cup already cooked rice, and stir it in at the very end) 1 (10.5-ounce) can Rotel 1 bunch of collard greens or kale, chopped 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt 1/4 teaspoon black pepper Use a 6-quart slow cooker. Soak your beans overnight in a bunch of water and drain well in the morning and rinse in cool water. Put the beans directly into your slow cooker. Add broth and sliced sausage. Stir in the rice and rotel. Add greens, and sprinkle on the salt and pepper. Cover ( you may need to shove in greens to get the lid on nicely) and cook on low for 8 to 12 hours, or until the beans are soft. Stir well before serving. (I'm using regular rice added toward the end.)...See MoreLoneJack Zn 6a, KC
