Kristina, does ...That is a gorgeous tulip picture.<br /><br />Kristina, does your sage winter over (cause if it winters over up there in Ohio, it should surely be able to do that here in southern NC? How do you plant it? I have no luck at all planting sage in NC in pots. Maybe if I stuck the seeds in the ground, it would do better for me.<br /><br />Growing up, we had a terrible well, so we often had old metal 55-gallon drums beneath the downspouts. I remember having to wash our hair in it. It'd be cold as snot, but we'd put buckets on the picnic table, one for wetting/washing and one for rinsing, and I remember our hair coming out so shiny.<br /><br />I also remember a time or two taking showers under those downspouts in hard rains when there was no lightning. We'd put on our bathing suits, take a bar of soap out with us, soap up out stinky places and rinse well. Worked great, but again, it was always cold cold water, even in summer. Still, better than nothing.<br /><br />God bless.<br /><br />RB<br /><><RBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13053380234618898848noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2264863019487640784.post-17013727993396446292015-04-30T04:56:20.342-07:002015-04-30T04:56:20.342-07:00Debby, it's amazing how different the cheese t...Debby, it's amazing how different the cheese tastes homemade (vs. buying it).

I've never tried the manure tea. The mustard sauce should be on my blog. I'll try to see and link it for your. It's great for dipping, meatballs, chicken, and other treats. You can make it with mild peppers or hot banana peppers. I make it hot. It's great on rice too, or other grain. I should try it on millet, now that you mention it.Pioneer Woman at Hearthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16533698959389851926noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2264863019487640784.post-66765858489280661432015-04-29T08:19:53.663-07:002015-04-29T08:19:53.663-07:00I love your rain barrel!

I am thinking about that, too, as I sure have a lot of manure. I am interested in your mustard sauce - it sounds delicious! Sounds like you have a lot of balls in the air!!Susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12573143203599624833noreply@blogger.com
