It's always a bit of an event when "one leaves the nest." However this can be temporary. Our youngest son left home at 21 .... and then came...
On the subject of "what day is it?" My wife says she's sometimes confused, as my regular golf days are Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays, now with...
Just another walk around, still nothing that needs doing. But this warmer weather has brought plants along. This little acer is showing a...
Did the grocery shopping this morning. Things are calming down now, got most of what I wanted, even some almond croissants, which my wife had...
I know how you feel, I'm flitting between doing a bit in the garden, messing with my jukebox wall boxes, my leccy piano, my tenor sax and doing...
Try Phlox. We have this on our rockery that's in the shade of a sx foot fence for most of the day. It's "maintenance free." [img]
Thanks for that. There's a bit of history on my wife's side of the family, much of it researched by my sister-in-law. Some of it comes from an...
Did a bit of shopping this morning. the panic seems to be over though there are still shortages in the stores. No queues, as there were few...
"That's me top left."

Glad there was a happy ending. Our daughter's cat disappeared shortly after they'd moved home but only about a mile. They'd given him up for dead...
This is our oldest photo. One of my wife's grandmother, sitting on her mother's lap surrounded by her brothers and sisters. Probably taken in...
Too cold to do much other than mow the lawn. I've decided to record through the year all the colour changes in this little acer at the bottom...
Do you keep them? I've digital photos of our garden saved in monthly files on my laptop since 2004. Before that from some contact prints taken...
Another dry clear day. Too cold to do anything much in the garden today, except feed the birds. Checked on the wisterias. Blooms are...
