Re: What's happening in your garden?
Haven't been able to tend much, second shot was a doozy, then the mini heat wave, and thankfully some rains more than a shower of late. Scrambling with the kitchen garden.

So there's no telling what ...

Re: Beebe -- our 1935 Bungalow on Baker Street.
Ran into our neighbor to the west today. She told me her landlord gave her a hard deadline of being out July 1st. I know he's tried to be gracious because of the sibling she's been caring for, but it's evident he's annoyed/worried he's missing the pandemic housing market boom with the sale. We haven...

Re: Lumber "shortage"
