Congratulations!

I am in WA state. My embroidered hatband reads, "Speak Truth to Power." My sign, made for the day, said, "Frogs are an indicator species."

It depends on who I'm talking with. When I was teaching elementary school, I always said "(the) United States." When I visit friends and family in BC or in other parts of the US, I usually say that I live in Washington state. I don't think I've ever used "the States."

We had a rainbow sherbet sunset last night to go with that orange moon.

Congratulations on your first pear crop! I will take any pears you don't plan on eating or preserving.

Such good helpers!

From the number of spirals, maybe two inches? I keep tossing the garden variety into my compost bin so that they have to work to get back to my bean plants.

Such a sweet boy there. Why wouldn't he want to sleep somewhere warm that smells that good?

Who could possibly have done that? Who?

I'm so sorry.

My husband has tinnitus, and we bought small speakers that we attached with elastic to either side of a long strip cut from a plastic cutting board. He then can have white noise playing in those and music in a different speaker behind his head.

I'm already impressed with her project, too. I'd love to see that sometime.
