    1. I put mine out in the back yard for the birds & squirrels to eat. They stay there most of the winter. I scrape up what's left in the spring.

  4. CAS: I've got plenty more where these came from.....

    Mary: It's often hard to remember that, when you're slogging through a hard time, but things always change eventually.

    Reading is like nourishment. I don't know how people who don't read books survive mentally.

Please be on-topic and read the comments policy. Spam, trolls, and fight-pickers will be deleted. If you don't have a Blogger account and aren't sure how to comment, see here. Fair warning: anything even remotely supportive of transgender ideology, or negative toward Brexit, or supportive of a military draft or compulsory national service, will be deleted and result in a permanent ban. I am not obligated to provide a platform for views I find morally abhorrent.

On work days there is likely to be a substantial delay in approving comments, since I can't do blog stuff in an office. For this I apologize.
