Ah Zigs, I think we have big things to come!
Our apple trees have wee apples forming, the pear trees ditto. We even have itty-bitty bunches of grapes! We may not be fruit deprived this year.
No Sjoerd, I didn't get mangled. I had a bite on my upper arm that required a tetanus shot. While the nurse was administering the shot she said,...
Gosh, here in Texas rodeos have a feature of "mutton bustin" with children riding sheep for points. We may need to introduce sheep jumping for...
Congratulations, DM! Your photo is so peaceful, so lovely.
Beeker, I have been thinking and thinking about one good thing to say about skunks. I'm sure they are underappreciated, but I can't come up with...

Droopy, how kind-- "please keep posting." I'll ask the same thing in July when we are arid and plants have shut down until the rains and cooler...
