I've actually made blueberry scones twice this summer, with fresh blueberries. They were marvelous! Glad yours turned out well, too. I need to do a baking post.

You and that laptop have made a lot of memories by now. It's like an old friend, yet it may have to be replaced one of these days. Sad.

Apparently I haven't read any Hive posts for 5 days. That always puzzles me; wasn't I just on here yesterday? No, there have been interesting grandkid interruptions, followed by catch-up-at-home days,

I am so sorry about the passing of your mom, and the loss of friends and relatives in the earthquake. That's a lot to happen in a short time, on top of all the other upheaval in your country. I pray for

I really should know better. 😆

And yet you caught several good shots of him! Very nice. I have a hummingbird feeder with six ports, yet two hummingbirds will argue about who gets to use it.

Nice to know all is well with you. Yes, grandchildren really use up one's time and energy...but it's worth it!

Yes, it is very tasty!

Glad you like the bouquet!

And that is likely the best place to stop!

And you're just going to stop that story there, and leave the rest up to the reader's imagination? Or is there going to be more?

I feel the same way as you do about Hive and tokens. And the older I get, the more I realize the world is full of things and ideas that deserve to be ignored.

Those two sure know how to get into trouble!

Wow, you are getting a lot out of that garden! I'm not a big fan of eggplant, although I have grown it a time or two. Years ago.

Oooh, I have cucumber envy! My plants all died this year. Isn't it funny how those huge zucchinis manage to hide under the leaves?

My dad poured concrete in forms when he built his retirement home in 1972. He also did some really odd things with the electric wiring, as that was not his forte. Subsequent owners of that house found
