it was nice enough that even with a fairly good breeze i still didn't need to wear a hat. not much sunshine but still ok to be outside and get some fresh air and ...

perfect! :)

ok, if you don't like crude humor you can skip this one... i went for a quick walk to the corner and back and on the way there i saw some stuff along the road to pick up on the way back. various things, a few 1oz bottles of booze, old lighter, part of a headlight, empty water bottle, pull top...

Forecast has a high of 57F here today, but a bit windy. Not too bad as I may try to get out for a short walk this afternoon.

some things already fixed. :)

GL on any efforts at quitting. sorry to have sidetracked this thread. :)

that makes it very tough to quit. i'm very surprised my SIL was able to quit because for many years she said she'd never quit. alas my brother still hasn't managed to quit and he would be much better off if he could. i've lost way too many relatives earlier than they'd have otherwise gone due...

plants can change the number of stomata they have through time if the CO2 levels are not sufficient for their photosynthesis. they have fossil records of various plants which show this during various periods of the earth's history when the CO2 levels were different.

@heirloomgal and @Decoy1 thank you for the replies, details and pictures. yes, i have some Purple Dove outcrosses that look exactly like what i see there. :) those white eyes without the yellowish ring around them that get discolored with age is very nice and something i'm happy to have also...
