Monday, March 28, 2011. A little girl's prayer. God is great, God is good. Let us thank him for our food. And for mommy and daddy. And all our people. And Meme and Poppie. And Granny and Grandpa. Posted by Carrie Sparks McClain. Wednesday, March 2, 2011. Abbey at a baptism. Abbey: Where are they going daddy? Clark: To help Kayla and Brother Dan get ready? Abbey: But where are they going? Clark: Into that little room right there. Abbey: I think we need to go too. Clark: No, we need to stay here. In Septem...

The Laws of Gardening: Family Arrives
http://lawsofgardening.blogspot.com/2009/07/family-arrives.html
The Laws of Gardening. Thursday, July 2, 2009. Family arrived at our new house this morning around 2AM. I have been tired from the moving that I couldn't stay awake to greet them. Actually, I didn't know they were there until Dearest threw the dog on the bed and told him to stay. He had been barking nonstop. Mully doesn't very much like strangers and especially doesn't like them at 2AM. Steven A.K.A. Officious Intermeddler. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). View my complete profile.

Home and Garden Grace. 8220;But he said to me, ‘My grace is sufficient for you,’ ” 2 Corinthians 12:9 NIV. Friday, April 17, 2009. Yikes, we're in need of a medic here! My poor little baby seedlings are almost a complete bust. I'm so sad! I tried my very best to revive them. Talking sweet words of encouragement to them, and taking special care with them. Here's how they looked on top of the fridge at 9 days old:. The 1st photo is all of the starters I had to pull because they'd died on me! Looks like my ...

Mockingbird Acres: March 2011
http://mockingbirdacres.blogspot.com/2011_03_01_archive.html
Hello from rainy Prospect, TN! Although we're happy to have the rain for our fruit trees and flowers, I'd rather be out pulling weeds and prepping our garden plot while it's cool and the bugs are still asleep. Once they wake up and the humidity climbs, it gets pretty uncomfortable out there. I'm writing to ask for a minute of your time. I've entered a contest: Would you please vote for my entry? I'd really appreciate it! Just go to the following website, select "B" for my entry and click on VOTE. This is...

Mockingbird Acres: February 2011
http://mockingbirdacres.blogspot.com/2011_02_01_archive.html
Grillin' and Hangin' Out. The burgers were nothing short of amazing, with the seasonings that JoAnna uses making us both want to eat more than we should. A few months ago when the weather was cold, we built a bluebird house and a bat house. The bird house has been mounted to a tree just outside our living room window for at least a month, but has yet to be claimed by a bird. The bat house was mounted yesterday, 12 feet up on a tree.

Mockingbird Acres: 2011 garden progress
http://mockingbirdacres.blogspot.com/2011/05/2011-garden-progress.html
Many seeds have been sprouted, and many of those have been transplanted into the garden. We tried to follow the system defined in John Jeavons' book, "How To Grow More Vegetables". But our unheated greenhouse probably set us back. Many of the initial seeds never germinated, so timings for transplanting got a bit messed up. Nonetheless, we have stuff in the ground, taking hold, and promising to feed us in the near future. At this point, we have the following in the ground:. Sweet Corn (3 varieties).

Mockingbird Acres: October 2013
http://mockingbirdacres.blogspot.com/2013_10_01_archive.html
There are three updates to report:. 1 The upper gate opener is installed and working well (this is a follow-up note to the previous post). 2 We got a pickup truck to assist in various tasks including the collection of firewood, because. It's a 1978 F-150, 6cyl 300ci 4-speed with 4WD). 3 We got a wood stove. The stove pipe and chimney will be installed soon, then we need to fire it up and open up all the windows and leave while the initial burn-off takes place. They say it will be stinky, but not toxic.
