Windy Night

Eva James @wolfgirl569 (116047) • Marion, Ohio 5h

But I slept through most of it. I did have to pick my prickly pear cactus pots up this morning. But that's all the clean up out back. I didn't check the front yard for branches. We didn't get a lot of rain. So might be able to mow...

Judy Evans @JudyEv (353378) • Rockingham, Australia 11h

We and Vince’s brother went to visit the remaining brother and his wife. The older brother turned 81 a day or two ago and in the last year or so, has suddenly become very old and frail. He was always the ‘project manager’ for our...

Fleur How embarrassing but funny! Getting old is no fun. I am dreading it. Sometimes I'm afraid that I'm actually wishing it upon myself because of fretting over it so much!

We've made a start on the balustrade

Judy Evans @JudyEv (353378) • Rockingham, Australia 15 May

You might have trouble making sense of the lower of the two photos. The top image shows the front porch of our niece’s house which we’re looking after while she is away. Some of the uprights of the balustrade are missing and...

1975 Songs: Rhinestone Cowboy

Four Walls @FourWalls (74625) • United States 14 May

Oh, yeah. The past three songs have pretty much explained the strange music year of 1975. The shock rocker, the folk rocker, and now….country music? That topped the POP chart?! If you look at the songs that were #1 half a...

Fleur I certainly know that song and a couple of others of his, although I wouldn't have recognised his name. And yes according to my personal test it counts as a country song.

A technical scare

Vicki, #1 Creek Girl @1creekgirl (43547) • United States 14 May

I clicked onto FB yesterday and saw that I had two messages. It wasn't the usual little N to read them, but I clicked on it anyway. Big mistake. I immediately got a screen saying that Windows Defender had locked me out. I tried...

Pissed Off at Amazon

RasmaSandra @RasmaSandra (84954) • Daytona Beach, Florida 14 May

Fleur I avoid Amazon as much as possible because I don't agree with their world-dominating aims! I buy books and DVDs from local shops or from the second hand sites and food from local shops. Can't you get things in the 'old-fashioned' way?

Herbs ~ Pots or in the Ground?

celticeagle @celticeagle (174335) • Boise, Idaho 14 May

I enjoy herbs so much. When I lived with my ex, I had a nice herb garden right out the back door, off the kitchen. It was so convenient. Now I have nothing. I used to make wreaths from the different herbs. So pretty with different...

Fleur Many people start a herb garden with many herbs together, but in reality different herbs need different conditions. Lavender, thyme and rosemary like well-drained soil with plenty of sun. Mint prefers cooler shadier and moist places. And of course those are...

Billy goat not so gruff

Judy Evans @JudyEv (353378) • Rockingham, Australia 14 May

Vince has a Facebook account and put up a photo of one of my sister’s little goats, saying it didn’t look very gruff, which got me thinking if some of today’s younger people would get the reference. The Three Billy Goats Gruff is...
