SUMMER PLANTS, SUMMER NOT – WINING, DINING, AND TEACHING PLANTS TO GROW

Share your World: 11th August The weather has cooled down. The tomatoes on the deck, unmolested (so far) by birds or beasts, are turning red. I doubt they'll make it to the table because we eat them like fruit -- which they are if I am not mistaken. The birds are flying around. You can spot … Continue reading SUMMER PLANTS, SUMMER NOT – WINING, DINING, AND TEACHING PLANTS TO GROW

WORLD SHARING IN THE MIDDLE OF MAY

Share Your World 19th May The columbine decided to bloom after all! Here are this week’s questions: Do you exercise regularly? Not any more. I wish I could. Have you ever belonged to/visited a gym?

WORLD SHARING IN THE LUSTY MONTH OF MAY

Share Your World 5th May 2025 It's a lusty month, or so the song says. https://youtu.be/vvrE_ekDXQc?si=_5I4J9C8QEqhD_xG I have to admit, I am significantly less lusty at 78 than I was at 60 or even 70.

GREAT DAY FOR SHARING

Sharing my World 11th March Today I am 78. It is not anything like a birthday when I was a lot younger.

FAMILY & VACATIONS: #SYW

Share Your World 21st October 2024 I didn't do nearly enough deleting. I had more than 500 emails sitting in my account.

ALL OF A SUDDEN, IT’S THE END OF JULY

Sharing my world as July creeps to its end This has been a crazy month. In the beginning, it was so hot the air felt unbreathable. It was the very definition of a long, hot summer. Meanwhile, on another front, after a lot of begging and pleading from other Democrats, Joe Biden bid us a … Continue reading ALL OF A SUDDEN, IT’S THE END OF JULY
