My, what long ears you have!

I wrote about the chooks and the Maremma dog at our friend’s place. She also has four Anglo-Nubian goats which have almost cleared out the blackberries from her smallholding. Anglo-Nubians are charactersed by the large, drooping...

Fleur @Fleura (35062) • United Kingdom 30 Jul 22

I’ve been having a bit of a push to declutter some things that have been hanging around for a while. I have used Ebay quite a lot in the past but then got out of the habit. And then of course Ebay changes some of its system and I...

Tree ferns near Manjimup, Western Australia

Judy Evans @JudyEv (382240) • Rockingham, Australia 7 Dec 20

The area we were visiting recently has more rainfall than we do here and the paddocks there are still green. It reminds me of Ireland with its lushness. Much of ‘our’ bush is best described as open woodland but around Manjimup the...

Simple Things

Jackie Money @olliesmum (828) • Norwich, England 16 Sep 19

Today it definitely feels as if autumn is in the air here in Norfolk. It's damp and misty and it's all a bit dull and depressing. Even Ollie, my big floppy black and white fluff ball of a cat, who loves spending his days outside...

Finding Free Food

Happy Lady and Freya the Catblog Cat @Jackalyn (7558) • Oxford, England 2 Oct 18

Around the village, I can find apple trees where I can pick windfalls, blackberries on bushes and elderberries. I do not do this after my ex mother in law did and ended up in hospital as she picked the wrong mushroom, but I used...

Blackberries

I do enjoy blackberries. I wasn't aware that they were so rich in vitamin a and high on the ORAC scale of antioxidants which raises power of human blood by about 25 percent. As well as helping with memory loss, improving the...

Glad it was a small bird!

James Higgins @JamesHxstatic (29410) • Eugene, Oregon 24 Jul 17

I have mentioned along the way that I feed birds in my yard and enjoy all that activity. I also started taking pretty long fitness walks early each morning. Now, I am not going to say that it was lack of gratitude on the part of...

Vincent Summers @KuznVinny (768) • United States 10 Apr 16

I'm not a fan of iHop (I almost typed iPad). I don't like a lot of sugary, colory junk food. I prefer a typical breakfast. But for all that, I will say there are worse places. A couple of good friends (is there such a thing as a...
