There be days like this

 


And I have discovered (well found the answer on line where it was all along) the meaning of one of my favorite blogger's names, By Stargoose and Hanglands. He describes the root of those terms in "What's in a Name."

    1. Thanks...I finally gave them all a dose of liquid fertilizer (Miracle Grow). I usually do that when I first bring them inside, but had other things happening.

    1. Sometimes I nudge myself into believing I can check something out and it will only take a minute or two. And then there was today...many checking things out, and looking for an article on FB that disappeared before I got to write down the name of the book I was interested in...I must have looked at a thousand FB articles before that one finally reappeared!

    1. Thanks. I do feel better having their natural colors, as well as the increased oxygen.

So glad to have your comments...whatever they may be. I'm one who likes to reply sometime or another, so others will see that; or you might happen back sometime and see what conversation might have started.
