Dirt, I noticed that a tornado went through Birmingham area where you are, and was worried for you and family. What damage did you have? Please...
It didn't affect us Pac, we are about 70 miles away from where the fire was, but it must have been a terrible experience for those travelling. I...
I've been watching the tornadoes that appear to have affected the southern states there, and have wondered how people have been impacted by this...
What a great thread, and what a superb forum. Zigs and I were kindly invited to join in here by @marlingardener, a lady we had chatted with on...
When I made my scarecrow called Barry I stuffed him out with old plastic bags. You can put screwed up paper etc inside those to make 'em fatter....
These violets are super, they spread all over the place, and pop up in different places. A very welcome little flower to help see spring in....

Well hello Dirt! Haven't ''seen'' you for ages. Good to hear from you, and with something I could understand for a change :rolleyes: I found...
The gold collection is newly bred by a German breeder called Heuger. Maybe a few of those would be a lovely surprise for @Sjoerd and his bride...
WHAT a good question!!!! Animals positively shine in a sad world full of meagre people in my opinion. I do try hard to keep moving, and it's...
