I have a B.Science in Geology. I worked in that field for a couple of years, for a state Dept of Natural Resources,...

@Gemma and @brokensword the queen would be happy to drop by and visit and that rock is really tempting me gemma! When we traveled down to visit addy and her hubby in Arizona back in 2015 when she was selling a rental home down there we stayed w/them. She had tons of beautiful rocks to die for and s...

It's that time a year again, when I want to enjoy the blooms for as long as I can, but don't want to wait till it's bitter cold to prep the pond and garden for winter...so I will be pulling a few at a time.

Never live the farm life so didn't have to do it way back when either. Jessie has a farm up the road from...
