    Concerned About Growing Old?

    in the future they'll understand the dead battery part but will be scratching their head about the clutch... when driving in snow i much prefer a standard transmission. it's so much more fun, but also easier to get unstuck with a clutch...

    stubbed toes and mud pies

    it started off with foggy weather this morning but it cleared up and was fairly warm and not too windy which means i got out for a walk. it has probably been 6 months or longer since i managed to do that. :) a quick 1 mile walk to the corner and back. there was plenty of water running off...

    What’s Your Top Gardening Resolution for the Coming Year?

    we get so much heavy fogs and dews here. it's been over 20yrs of gardening and tomatoes here and no signs it is getting worse, just looks bad at the end of the season. last year was a better year in looks because we had such extended dry spells, but that still doesn't remove the evening heavy...

    Hello from the UK!

    How many spaces do you add?
