Missouri is a lot hotter than Scotland, I am sure.
Oh no! I hope summer arrives for you in short order. Keep warm!
I am glad the kids are learning to take care of Earth. I have a son and family in Waco. DGS is in 4th grade.
If you have west facing windows, you know how they can heat up the whole house in the summer. Someone once told me this tip to help keep things...
Ah. This part of the country can easily get hail. I had a plastic birdbath for a number of years, then the other year the bath part took a direct...

We rode an elephant when my kids were little. They had a "drive through zoo" in Ft Worth back then, but they do not like to be called that. I...
