I'm very sorry if she tipped off anyone about your cunningly concealed herd of cows.

Happy birthday, Meara!
I spent this afternoon babysitting a friend's toddler. She's a delightful kid. She played happily for a while, than asked for me to read her a book, then conked out for a nap until just about the time her mom got home. No tears, no whining.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Ha!
-t, the bleach is good for maintenance, but maybe not any better than baking soda and vinegar.

Hey, just having something different to try was worthwhile. I secretly suspect that I'm going to have replace some pipes to really solve the problem, so whatever I can try before going down that road is good.

I have loved the stars too fondly to be fearful of the night.
-t thanks for the percentage and the explanation - I don't know that I understand it but at least I know the formula for next time!

I am the fly who dreams of the spider
I think (hope) I might be PMSing: had a whopping total of two volunteers the other day, so decided to do simple projects, especially since I know the one guy has a bad back.
One of them killed one of my gourd vines, like, all the way down to the ground. Just an hour after I discovered that we had one birdhouse gourd that was about two feet long and texted the picture to the intern who built the arbor and planted the gourd seedlings.
I love my volunteers, and heavily rely on them, but, hey seus, when the numbers get low and I resort to projects more appropriate to small numbers, I remember why sometimes it's not worth it and mulching is the relatively safest task (and even that is fraught with danger).
