If you get a chance google garden solar lights you will find a lot of choices even some that randomly change...

    @akroberts The dogs like sweet tater chews. And my fav sweet potato for holiday is the ruby sweet . I did not know that sweet taters need to be cured before storage . I read curing helps improve the flavor, longer storage life and protect against disease. Who knew… @SPedigrees your solar...

    Concerned About Growing Old?

    @SPedigrees horses do a great job heading home no matter how tired or how dark. They can see far better at night than humans. I depended on their skill when horse camping.

    Nice to know you are spending time with your sweet pup . As painful as this time is you are doing the right thing. Let him go over the rainbow, where he’ll be full bladdered, full minded and run all day chasing birds in the pastures of flowers and joy. Tears of sadness and lots of gentle hugs...

    @SPedigrees why not add Autumn color here ! 👍 After all the ‘Weather’ is responsible which has been dry, less wind/rain which has helped to emphasize the importance of autumn color . I agree the wind and rain storms that usually come early fall have been delayed this year by warmer ocean...
