Great, inventive gifts for your grandson! Please wish him happy birthday from all your friends here on the Stew!
I just finished an hour's stroll in the backyard, behind the lawnmower. I noticed some pruning I need to do, and there is also dead-heading, so...

Donna, you certainly improved that recipe, especially by adding brandy!
