I'll scratch it out on the fiddle, but you can trust me when I tell you that you don't want to hear me sing it. I don't have spiders in my bathroom and I'm convinced that it's because I sing in the shower.

Re: What's happening in your garden?

It's hard to get a good photo since they're scattered. 2588 The peach-colored bloom in front is the color I'm trying to get more of, but it seems that seed from any...

Hi Ron, sorry for the slow reply. I'll try to be more active, but I think when a a potential new participant comes by and sees the lack of activity they probably move on without posting. It's a shame, because I really enjoy seeing the projects and progress of others, as well as sharing my own. The h...

Since I brought my belongings (those that I figured may be of use) down from Connecticut, renovations here have been made awkward and, as a result, slowed way down. I still don't have a com...
