What were your first memories of the family car? It was new at some point but we had that 1949 Oldsmobile for 10 years so it isn't very difficult for me to remember. It wasn't a convertible, however ;).

Herders in Mongolia put a scarecrow on a cooperative horse and use it to scare wolves away from their sheep and horses! I have seen the simplest of scarecrows, apparently effective. A cross with boards wearing an old shirt. Perhaps, we can give wolves and crows more credit for intelligence...

I thought of you, Dahlia ;). “Morel Compass!” I miss my morel harvests. So easy, once I found the right locations. Stand off to one side, crouch to lower viewing angle, look for forest debris a little lifted, carefully search under that — bingo! Steve

Have you tried a blend of avocados and artichokes? I thought that was so good when DW & DD brought some home a few years ago. Then, I tried to find some on my infrequent grocery shopping ventures. Nope, so I came away with artichoke dip – a little bland. DW likes avocados and brings home...

A predicted 50⁰f (10⁰C) may happen this afternoon. Outdoors isn't likely to feel like that since there is so dang much wind. It will be the first time that the thermometer has hit that mark since just before Christmas, during that rainy week. A very mild Winter and it has been easy getting...
