Good Monday morning! Melody, I'll welcome that arctic front with open arms! The weather has been unseasonably warm (90's) this month. A little...
I'm impressed with your ability to fix/improve things. I'm even more impressed with how lovely your yard and home are.
Cayuga, yes I've heard and used the word "scat" but not referring to a cat. As to the pronunciation, definitely a short "a", and no great...
Sjoerd, I didn't know the word until we took our master naturalist course. Frase is poop, but said more nicely. Imagine a group of 20 or so...
Well Sjoerd, preparing for the golden years, a person needs something interesting. For my husband, it is wood working and photography. For me, it...

Daniel, more generous people doing what they can would make this a better world.
We donated vegetables, although because of the heat and drought, less than usual. Now we are into the "giving a check" time of year. The pantry...
Great minds run on the same track! I made applesauce today, too. It's a misty, cloudy day, so little outside work. Husband finished repairing the...
