I don't obsess about politics, either. My husband does, so I hear plenty from him. And I read a little, here and there. I am an independent voter, preferring to vote for the person rather than the party.

I need to watch these videos,eventually. (Right now it's bedtime.) They all look quite interesting, especially Zzyzx road. There must be a good story behind that.

Aw,those goslings are adorable! As usual, I am trying to select a favorite photo. Of the birds photos, I'm voting for the cormorant shot. As for the bridge shots, I'd say the 6th photo from the top. The

How nice to have friends and an aunty to help out with food! Wow, your boys have grown so big.

I forgot to mention that my sister has snowdrops in her yard, and I keep meaning to plant some because they, too, are early spring bloomers. I am glad you got to see some!

Bear in mind that living on the Flathead Reservation presents its own set of challenges. My sister has been there over 50 years and has many tales to tell. Perhaps the beauty of the area makes up for the

It's simpler, that's for sure! But, having been to Walla Walla, Washington, I don't think I could bring myself to abbreviate it LOL

I, too, keep hearing about potential food shortages, and wish my knees weren't so painful. I will just do as much as I can.

I always find it strange when plants just vanish. Around here, it's usually the fault of the deer. However, they don't eat lupines and mine don't seem to be coming up. Hmm.

My favorite sign of spring is the first flowers that bloom, usually the Siberian Squill, at my house. Then the hyacinths and daffodils. The deer seem to have eaten all the crocuses and nearly all of the

You and @goldenoakfarm certainly have a good start on your gardens! I have been tinkering outside a bit, and need to write a post about it.

Is there an interesting reason why you call them Walla onions instead of Walla Walla onions? Maybe your own nickname for them?

As the old saying goes, it's an ill wind that blows no good.

Yes, I hopped onto my unscented soapbox. LOL

It's great weather for a bike ride just now! I like the apple swan. He's very creative.

I think all of us oldsters have those "I'm getting too old for (fill in the blank)" moments on a regular basis. Hang in there; things tend to sort themselves out eventually.

Good luck with the repairs! I hope the VA comes through and speedily.

Oh my, yet another mess to clean up! I suppose it always goes with being a homeowner. Goodness knows we've had our share of incidents. Our son recently noticed a drip coming through the ceiling in the

Ugh, don't get me started on scented products! Most people use body wash or soap, deodorant, hair products, body lotion, hand lotion, and then there's the makeup odors on women and the aftershave on men.

Yikes, that sounds like a terrible place to live or visit. Thanks for the heads-up!
