Whoa! That’s a lot of firewood. Sometimes I wish had a wood burning stove. It’s so fragrant!

I love cats and really should get involved in the cat communities! Your cats are adorable!

I envy you, @thebighigg! My husband and I will likely downsize to a condo eventually. Or at least a smaller house with a lower maintenance yard!

That's brilliant, @joanstewart. I will loom for a service like that at some point. I still like to do it myself, but I'm starting to wonder if the aches and pains are worth it!

That looks like so much fun! My kids have outgrown trips like that, and I miss it so much!

Definitely!

Sounds like a very productive (and coffee fueled) day!

Don’t forget wine! My dad actually made dandelion wine one time. If I remember correctly, it didn’t turn out too well!
