    Antique or vintage tools

    I was researching a few months ago to see if I could find out anything about why there's a 2" x 2" wooden stick through the front of the barn roof and resting on the top of the window. Even Amish builders I've talked to have never seen anything like it. But there are barn societies online...

    What Tool?

    No one has said a cup of coffee. It's the best tool for figuring out what's going to be moved to where after hubby's run over something with the tractor or cut their little heads off with a weed whacker. (Sculpting a cement "Contemplative Gardener" statue in my head.)

    Antique or vintage tools

    Was your trimmer green? It sounds like the one I have. There's a pulley system by the upper door, but the barn is 100 years old and there's some concern about how sturdy the floor is. That would be my main concern trying to move it. I don't think there's anything rotted on that side of the...

    Amaryllis

    I got two a few years ago and didn't take them from the box until the next year, but just because I started watering them and had two beautiful 4th of July amaryllis! Last year they didn't do much other than the leaves, but I brought them inside and put them in the basement. I just give them a...

    Recipe CHILI, anyone?

    Thank you! I think I'll use up what I have and start one like this.

    Recipe CHILI, anyone?

    I just made some sourdough biscuits from an old Marlboro cookbook. The Amish Friendship Bread starter I had made it way too sweet, but it was good with my venison chili I made- with beans.

    That's neat. There's a guy who brings his smithing set up to Log Cabin Days and it's really interesting watching him. There's a pedal type whetstone in the upstairs of our barn. I'm just as confused as to how they hauled it up there as how we'd ever get it down. The ole barn ain't what she...

    Can you identify my critter??

    That was a cute story, Randy. :) Isn't the green bug a katydid? That's what we call them up here. I used to have a green snake we kept in a dry aquarium. Had I known she was going to lay eggs I'd have had a bigger water dish in there because they need that. I called the pet store, but...

    Name this critter!

    Our fox squirrels are big and reddish brown to almost grey depending on the season and shedding. They're okay. But we have red squirrels, also called ground squirrels, which are smaller, much redder, and get into places they shouldn't and chew up wiring. The fox squirrels don't do that. The red...

    Antique or vintage tools

    I have an old golfclub style weed wacker that not only still works well, it's a great workout! And an old push behind cultivator. It hasn't been used in years, but if it's not too brittle I'm going to give that a shot. They were all my grandparents'. That's so sad and frustrating to hear that...

    Can you identify my critter??

    I knew it wasn't a snake because you'd see a mouth and eyes at least. That roundworm does look very much like it. Ewww.....I'd rather it be the snake!

    Share Your Crafts

    Those are beautiful. I have craftitis so I'll dabble in whatever suits my fancy at the time. About 10 years ago I was painting ceramic doll head ornaments and I recently found a box of them I had leftover. I looked at them and went "eww!" It was before I'd gotten glasses and even though the eyes...

    Antique or vintage tools

    Anyone have some from the 50 years old or older crowd that they like to use? Or even replicas of them?

    What Tool?

    I'd have to say my hands, a trowel (I have about 5 including the one in my kitchen), and my grandmother's small shovel I used to love playing with when I was a kid. It's a nostalgia factor as well as using something that was used historically on the property. I have several yard tools like that...

    Camp Chrysanthemummmmmmmmmm!

    Could have been worse. I know that might be rough to fathom, but when I worked at a local hotel a mid-40's in plaid shorts and knee socks thought I'd like to stop mopping the hall to chat with him. Um, nooo! I liked the 80+ year old caterer's dad who wanted me to ditch the broom and go ride...

    Can you identify my critter??

    Have you ever seen the movie "Tremors?"

    Do you have a story to share?

    haha I think we're onto something here. I made a zebraloosaffe out of polymer clay last year. I may have to work on this one now.

    Do you have a story to share?

    roflmao!! Wow! That is AWESOME!!! I was thinking of gathering some up next summer and making them into Christmas decorations to "sneak" on to trees. Add a few sparkles and maybe a little Santa hat, boots. --ya know?

    Do you have a story to share?

    That's hilarious! It sounds like a cartoon situation. I'd probably scream if one got that close, but then I'd laugh. I was also one of those kids who'd take the cicada shells and stick them on people's shoulders when they weren't looking.

    Have you ever done something really stupid?

    I do so many dumb things on and off the internet. My husband said that's why he married me the second time was for the entertainment factor. :) I sent an email to someone after a forum reset. I thought it was one person for about a month and it turned out to be someone different than I thought...
