I hope you find good homes for your plants. The pots on your stairs are very pretty, but are they a tripping hazard for you? It looks as if they could prevent you from using the hand railings.

I have no experience with the corporate world, but I do have over 40 years of experience with the world of homemaking. Most of my tasks have to be done over and over, so only the discerning can tell they've

That's a good idea. I used to freeze a couple different breakfast items for my husband to heat up at work. He retired ten years ago, so maybe he's ready to face them again now. Ha ha!

It has been a long time since I froze breakfast items for the future. I should do it!

Seed failure can be quite frustrating, I know. Sorry those beans didn't produce well. Yes, a sunny day is a real treat after a long cloudy stretch!

I, too, have a story to tell about going off on vacation and forgetting something that became moldy in my absence. In my case, it was soiled cloth diapers I'd forgotten about in the diaper pail. I hate

Your project has come along nicely. The porch looks great!

I am impressed by the amount of produce you managed to put up this year. You really accomplished a lot over the past few months.

It's impressive, that's for sure!

Have you figured out what it is? Looks sort of like a squash or gourd. It's weird how volunteer plants show up like that. I had hollyhocks along the side of our house for years, but gave them all away

Thanks for the update. Praying for a good recovery for her.

What beautiful buildings! And that lovely blue sky is a perfect backdrop. It's fun to go back to where one lived long ago and play tourist. I have done it, too.

If the Democrats win the next election, we simply trade one kind of extremism for another. Neither one works. I think that's where the apathy comes in. Both parties want to tax us to death, only for differing

It's so annoying when the doctors can't figure out what's wrong. Been there, done that. With all of today's technology, it's amazing what they still don't know.

So glad to hear you are still hanging in there!

Congratulations to all three of you! What a great experience as a family.

My husband has been unable to get down on his knees to work in the garden for a few years already. My knees have deteriorated noticeably in recent months, so now it's a challenge for me, too. I'll have

I love my new raised beds that are about three feet high! So easy to access.

I am so glad you were able to take that trip and revisit familiar places from the past. You have a knack for photography; even if it's just a cell phone, your pictures are wonderful. I was intrigued to
