Thank you so much, @timberlina. Your treehouse is perfect!!! I can help ya out with them doggone rosebushes. They won't stand a chance against the mighty chompers of my amazing horse, Thunder. One time, he bit a hole through a visiting sheriff. That sheriff happened to have multiple wriggly tentacles and an eye that shot lightning. He's a pleasant horse. (Thunder, not the sheriff.) In return for helping me out, you can have my famed baked bean recipe:

Ingredients
2 (16-ounce cans) navy beans
3 strips bacon diced
1-2 cloves garlic minced
½ medium sweet onion diced
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
¼ cup unsulphured molasses
¼ cup dark brown sugar
¼ cup ketchup
1 teaspoon prepared yellow mustard
For the Top of Baked Beans (optional):
2 slices bacon halved
1 teaspoon brown sugar
1 pinch of fairy dust
Directions
Preheat oven to 325º F.
Pour navy beans into medium stockpot.
In a medium skillet, add diced bacon, onion, and garlic. Cook until bacon is crisp and onion is tender. Remove from heat and add to navy beans.
Add Worcestershire sauce, molasses, brown sugar, ketchup, and yellow mustard. Stir to combine well. Pour into deep dish you plan to serve from or leave in stockpot. Top with bacon and sprinkle top with brown sugar.
Place in oven and bake 45 minutes. Increase temperature to 425º F for 10 minutes to crisp bacon. Remove from oven and allow to rest about 5 minutes before serving.

I just woke up here with my faithful stallion, Thunder, licking my face. All I know is that I was on the job, keeping them cows safe, when a glowing, green hole opened up in the dirt, then everything went black. Cowgirls ain't supposed to get lost. Am I here for a purpose??? Also, Thunder is starving. Is there anywhere here where I can get him some grub? I will offer extreme southern cordiality to those who help me.
