Potpourri: February 2010
http://susan-potpouri.blogspot.com/2010_02_01_archive.html
A little of this, A little of that, mixed altogether to make my life. Sunday, February 28, 2010. The Day I Died. When I came down with the measles, my fever was so high I was packed in dry ice. Countless trips to the emergency and transfers to St Vincent’s, I cannot fathom what panic and stress I put my folks through those first four years. My Parent’s Story. The nurse had a difficult time getting the medicine in the syringe. It was too thick. She injected me and I was sent home. Dad assisted Doc in usin...

Potpourri: March 2010
http://susan-potpouri.blogspot.com/2010_03_01_archive.html
A little of this, A little of that, mixed altogether to make my life. Wednesday, March 31, 2010. Grover Takes on the Eifel Tower. Links to this post. Tuesday, March 30, 2010. I have to mop the floors, they are gross. I have a Swiffer dust mop that doubles as a mop – great for nothing (it is going in the yard sale) and a Swiffer battery action mop (again, great for nothing, those stupid pads only clean a 10x10 ft already clean space before they crap out.). Yes, that will make me feel better. Now that I ha...

The Backyard Farmwife: Pot Cozy Cooking
http://thebackyardfarmwife.blogspot.com/2013/08/pot-cozy-cooking.html
Welcome To Our Farm. Friday, August 9, 2013. While getting ready for our backpacking trip, I stumbled on this guy’s idea for easy, no-clean cooking while backpacking. His blog is Erik the Black’s Backpacking Blog. And it is great if you want to experience the great outdoors on foot! I always love easy cooking while on vacation and this idea proved to be a winner! It is so much easier to relax and enjoy scenery like this when you aren’t cooking and doing dishes three times a day! Dinner is served…. We jus...

The Plant Hunter: December 2014
http://plant-quest.blogspot.com/2014_12_01_archive.html
A Peak Into the Future. One of the fun things about working at a wholesale, liner (starter plant) nursery is that you get to see into the future. That's because the new plant varieties we sell today don't hit retail stores until after our customer's grow them a year or two into larger retail-sized plants. So when I analyse our current orders, I get a glimpse of what will be in garden centers in a year or two. Would you like to see into the future? Brite Pink Crape Myrtle. Blue Chip Jr' Buddleia. What in ...

If You Love Hydrangeas. If you love hydrangeas, what could be better than a world-class hydrangea conference in of all places, Cap Cod, Massachusetts So when Mal Condon, noted hydrangea expert and founder of the Hydrangea Farm Nursery on Nantucket Island, asked me to come to Cap Cod and speak on my favorite subject the answer was easy. Has anyone invited you yet? Tim Wood with Fire Light Hydrangea. You know who I am, so I'll skip the bio and just say that it will be great to see you on Cap Cod. Dr David ...
