Hurray for October fresh vegetables! I already miss mine.

The autumn colors in the photos are spectacular, despite the rain. I'm glad you had a good time visiting your old home. I understand both the desire to stay there, and the desire to go home. It's a tough

When I was younger, being in a crowd and visiting with several people was enjoyable. As I've gotten older, I find it now tires me out quite quickly. I prefer getting together with one or two friends at

Maybe they are!

Oh, I'm glad to know he is done with the surgery and doing ok! I was wondering just when that was going to happen. I have never grown the calabaza golden delicious squash before, but will report on the

Thanks! I am already thinking about what I am going to try next spring.

I, too, enjoy seeing the different vegetable people can grow in other countries and other climates.

Congrats on the new-to-you car! I hope it works out wonderfully for you. As usual, your day was packed full. I still haven't driven over to the west side of Spokane to see the mess from the fire. I've

You are much more faithful about window washing than I am! It doesn't happen very often at my house.

Yay! I hope that's an easy fix!

I've replaced several zippers over the years, and it's definitely not my favorite task. You came up with a creative alternative for sure.

I hope you find a car you like! Every fall I go on a binge of used car shopping, thinking my '08 Rav4 ought to be retired. But after I drive a few cars and look at the prices, I just get more work done

Looks wonderful, as usual!

Such beautiful flowers! You obviously live in a much different climate than here in northern Idaho where I live. I left some plants behind for my mother to take care of, years ago. Mostly they were succulents.

I have read that green tomatoes ripen better in a dark place. I have always put them in cardboard flats under the bed, checking them daily to find the ripe ones. Some years, when I planted way too many
