My squash got absolutely hammered in the last storm. The 5 that remain will come back with some TLC. The seeds will sprout in the next couple of days. The upside down tomato cage is so they will grow up, not down. The middle will have potatoes. The front side will be flowers.

I got my free straw bale garden set in place yesterday. It has already raised in temperature by ten degrees. Another ten and it will be ready to plant.

I've spent the weekend getting things done around the house, tree trimming, flower planting, storm door & knife holder installing, cleaning, sprucing up Mom's chair, laundry, & general housekeeping, and worrying about Mom's allergies. I'm knackered!

What is different about this Mid-1800s Currier and Ives hand-colored lithograph from the rest of the ones I have is what is glued into the back. It looks to be a 1890-1905 advertising piece. Neither of them are in good condition and cannot be separated. Aren't they interesting?

There is a power struggle going on in our home. One person thinks it is perfectly acceptable to keep the tumblers on the countertop. The other person doesn't. The other person is right, of course.
