    When we lived in Washington State my granddaughter's best friend was from Ukraine. I helped her mom with her ESL class and she taught me Russian. Some words were the same. But the one that I thought was weird was chai. My favorite drink is chai tea. In Russian chai means tea so whenever I look at my concentrate box it says original chai tea. In other words it's original tea tea. I have dropped the tea since learning that and just say chai. The word my granddaughter thought was so funny was (and I'm spelling it from sound) butiak (pronounced boo-tee-ak) and it means beets. We moved here in December of her 3rd grade year and she had just turned 10 a month before. So I guess at that age anything that sounds like it has to do with your rear is funny. Kids.....

    I did nothing in the garden. The first thing that I do when I wake up is ask Alexa what the weather is. She told me it was raining! Usually I can hear it. So I went and looked out the door and sure enough it was raining! So I went to the bank and the farmer's market. I didn't grow pickling cucumbers this year they are so prolific I can't use them all! So I bought some, enough for A (meaning 1) batch of pickles. Tomorrow I will be pickling. I have to go to Penzeys and get celery seed....I have every other seed except for that one. Weird that I don't have it.

    DhR, I have sweet woodruff like that. I t has little white flowers and spreads. It is the first thing to bloom in the spring and it has a vanilla scent. I love it.
