Pushovers
So it has been a few days since the last posting so I thought I would share a small story I found humorous this morning. Gretchen the cat has always been a fussy eater. You would think that an animal that was feral for a portion of her youth would be willing to eat any size portion that was put … Continue reading “Pushovers”
Hijinx
“…the next guy that says, ‘Hijinx’, gets pistol whipped…” So, little Gracie barked a couple of times in the night -not her going out bark, more her, “there is a skunk I want to play with” bark, or her “there is a fox making noise” bark, or even her “a squirrel is eating something out of the large paper bag … Continue reading “Hijinx”
Spring has sprung, but…
The crocus are in full bloom and the daffodils have shown their green face, but they are predicting a nor’easter for this weekend. For those of you that don’t know what a nor’easter is (from Wikipedia): A nor’easter (also northeaster; see below) is a macro-scale cyclone occurring along the upper East Coast of the United States and Atlantic Canada. The … Continue reading “Spring has sprung, but…”
Font-Awesome and WordPress
I’m starting to wrap my head around WordPress – and believe me, with a head this thick that takes awhile! At any point, I love using Font-Awesome (btw – they don’t have a specific icon for their font-awesome product, I think they use fa-flag . They do have one for fort-awesome an interesting way to partially monetize font-awesome – check … Continue reading “Font-Awesome and WordPress”
Introductions
Whether appropriate or not, it is the weekend and Bo enjoys kickin’ back with a brew or two (just kidding, we only give him a sip now and then.) So, you’ve met Bo, but I thought I would take the opportunity to introduce you to the rest of our crew. As the weeks go by I’ll dig into the wayback … Continue reading “Introductions”
What sort of hosting is best?
Greetings to all my readers! Inside joke, but seriously, thanks for reading Mom So, I didn’t make it out of bed when I thought I would this morning, so I didn’t have time to post. I thought I would squeeze a quick one in (wink, wink) before dinner. Right now I’m using conventional hosting through Green Geeks and through StartLogic. … Continue reading “What sort of hosting is best?”
Gardening Zones From the USDA
Namaste! Sabine pointed out to me that giving everyone a link to the USDA site would be handy – and she was right! Once you navigate there look for the “Enter ZIP code:” box at the upper left.
Welcome to the Garden!
Namaste! Our site is still dormant from the winter, but it is sure to have green shoots of wisdom pushing up toward the sun soon. We plan on having an “Ask the Gardener” section, as well as a lot of helpful hints about things like identifying invasive species. In the meantime, sign up in the sidebar to receive gardening hints, … Continue reading “Welcome to the Garden!”
Which CMS?
Slight diversion for two things before I get into the meaty goodness of my post. 1. I’ve decided that I should force myself to leave a blog post every morning. Most times I’ll focus on what I’m currently learning both from the perspective of a student and an educator of several decades. 2. Several weeks ago I read an interview of Lori … Continue reading “Which CMS?”
