I understand the need for fresh air flow when it is hot. Just tell the Good Lady she has choices...have a 30-foot wall built around the house (discourages climbing through open windows), have a couple

Well written @goldendawne. I have lived almost 2 decades longer than you, but I can also say I have never witnessed a time like this. Sensational news sells as does exaggerated stories. Times are frightening,

Thrilled to see you back. Looking forward to seeing more of your handicrafts. I too haven't posted anything in two years. Haven't raised enough nerve to go for it yet I guess...

We all have days where it is difficult to get out of bed to start another day. I try to start every day positively taking the time to smell the roses and observe the life forces around me. Today was a

I too have succumbed to Downton Abbey. This is the second time around. Not much to do in self imposed lockdown in Nicaragua...

Unfortunately, there are still people who follow the dictatorship blindly.

I feel that we are worse off now than we were even 100 years ago. Here in Nicaragua, we have at least three different levels of policing within the police department with the lowest level directing traffic

I think we would find justices systems in every country to be corrupt. There is no such thing as fairness for the average person. Flying low, under the radar helps but it is becoming more difficult asthe

I can feel your pain. We had a similar problem here. We are halfway up a hill and as everyone knows water (and other undesirable stuff) flows downhill. This is a third world country where developed countries

I hear you! Many years ago when I was first diagnosed with diabetes, I had to go to classes to learn what I would need to do thrive. The first class was with a dietician who must have tipped the scale

What a happy reunion! Those beers are a necessity for these dark days of lockdown. I would give my eye teeth for the delivery of anything. I am not surprised that he has taken up delivery. I would suspect

Happy to see that there are others who prefer to stay home. Thanks for sharing what your life has been during the lockdown. For the last two years we had been leaving the compound once a month. Now it

What a great place to unwind! As a fellow empath, I hear the need to recharge batteries. Water, sun, lots of trees and grass always recharges me! Wonderful idea @Stacie D to get the whole family out on

hank you for sharing this extraordinary experience. I have only experienced one sweat lodge many years ago and I remember it well. The freshness of the air when you leave is most refreshing. I am not sure

Two thumbs up for all the hard work in your garden! I will be lovely for you to sit out there with family and friends. It is something special to look forward to after alll the lockdown time.

Is Groot going to grow too large for his pot? Can he be transplanted later into the ground? Love the garden. The fairy garden is looking really good.

I love the added color that the knitting gives to ordinary things! I hope whoever the knitter or knitters ar that they continue. The world needs a little color now.

A joyous trip down memory lane for me. My husband and Iater our sons were homesteaders long before the term was used and it was cool to do so. I think most of us were born with the instinct to homestead
