ATyger, I hope all is well with you. I've been busy with fixing up a used swingset given to my grandson from the neighbor next door. It's actually not in too bad of shape but just needs a little TLC. I have the cross bars repaired and the frame cemented into the ground so today the work will begin on repairing the swing seats and the glider missing bolts. Have a great holiday weekend and stay cool.

Not to worry ATyger, I have a million zucchini recipes that I'm happy to share with you. I had a bumper crop a couple of years ago and had to collect them to keep the family and neighbors from killing me. Even the kids like some of them (my sons favorite meal is a baked stuffed zucchini). Good luck! Leah.

WOW--I just realized I was nominated! Busy weekend, y'all. Many thanks, y'all! Thought about growing catnip but haven't done it yet. That gray beast loves catnip, while his companion, a big fat grey striped tabby, doesn't care for it

It's November and I've got six red grape tomatoes!

Ever tried growing some catnip for your gray buddy there?

Those are lofty goals. I admire your desire to live a simple life.
