Mister and I inherited a couple of plants when we moved in here at the new pad. And I’d like to put one of them into the ground. It is the sickly looking cactus shown above. But…
It’s a Good Day for a Good Day
It’s Friday, friends, and it’s a good day for a good day. Yesterday, Thursday, was pretty spiffy, too. We got new stop signs on our street, so now our scary intersection has a 4-way stop. That happened…
