Dawn ,'Beneath You'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
I'm sorry about Jeeves, Anne.
Good luck with the horehound and lemon balm, gardeners. I don't know from hore hound, but lemon balm is tough.
I went on a farm tour with amyth and a couple of other friends. We got to feed baby goats! Totally worth rambling around in intermittent showers. I also bought a couple of duck eggs, which I'd never had before. I poached one for dinner and served it on sour dough toast and lightly steamed spinach. It was delicious.

Anne, the renovation is lovely! It's a very beachy room.
baby goats!!!!
If anyone has not watched the PBS documentary on the Central Park Five, I highly recommend it. There are only three days left, because it is Ken Burns (although it is not very Ken Burns-y, probably because his daughter wrote it) I have just been reading "Our Boys" [link] which is a look at how and why white suburban "jocks" were protected after they gang raped a mentally challenged girl. What a contrast!

See, those kids I want on my lawn.
Hey, flower and plant people, what are the yellow & purple flowers? [link]
Those are violas, sarameg. They're related to pansies, but smaller.
We always called them "johnny jump ups"!
OK, knew they were a common variety, just couldn't remember what. I don't think I planted them last year (though I like them a lot) but can't be sure.
I allow them to every day, but generally hang my towel(s) on the shower rod for re-use if it's just a 2 or 3 day stay.
I never allow them in every day. Maybe every 2 days, if I am staying by myself.
