We planted zinnias a couple of years ago, and they self-seeded so easily that we no longer buy seed. We found that hummingbirds like zinnias--who...
Wonderful rabbit! May we see your chopping board when painted, and the coasters? Eileen is right--you have a real talent for pottery.
Cooking and baking. I like fiddling about with recipes, adding a bit of this and changing a bit of that. A day in the kitchen when it's damp or...
Kildale, we don't have any photos of salamanders or frogs, except this tree frog. Can't take any photos any time soon because it's too cold, but...

Not in the garden exactly, but we washed off the plant starting shelves and brought them into the guest bedroom. I'll attach the grow lights...

Happy Birthday! May you have many more to share with your lovely bride, and to share photos and stories about your lottie and the wonderful dishes...
