Okay, I don't want to be a whiner but dragnabbit my head aches.

Maybe, providing he remembered to put his pants on today ... uh Marty, you remembered, right?

Great minds ... keep it up and we'll need to consider inducting you into the Wonder siblings ... ooooohhh, then we would be the Wonder Sextuplets.

Please continue to take care. Think of your neck like COVID19, things might have begun to loosen up but continue taking precautions to avoid a flare up.

Should have known things were gonna mushroom ...

Well, just for emergency purposes.

Ohhhh, I'm a Superstar ...

It has been a difficult day but if I'm quiet my head doesn't throb as badly.

Hi Ali.

Not to worry. It all gets a bit confusing for older folk.

Oh, and all those tools and equipment you asked to send to you are intended to ship on the 18th. I guess I best cancel the order.

Best leave a trail of crumbs or some such so you can find your way home again.

Most definitely you should.

Hi Miss Caz. Congrats on escaping the house and family ... er, uhm, I mean gaining meaningful employment.

I envy you a bit. No space to really garden her at mum's. I did plant some onions along with Royal Oak leaf and a variety of minature red romaine lettuces. It hasn't been very successful. The soil here is very sandy mixed with clay so the onions haven't done much more than grow into very slender six inch shoots. The lettuces were coming along nicely until the guy came to wash the house. Wherever the solution he used splattered onto the oak leaf it caused the leaves to brown and die off. The centers are growing out again but the weather has become hot so I think it will "bolt" before I get much from them. The romaine heads were just beginning to form compact heads when the heat arrived causing the plants to begin to bolt. That is until two nights ago when the deer came through and nipped the tips out of them. Damned creatures also ate the buds off two-thirds of the daylilies. Came back the next night to get the rest. Despite this stunning lack of success I'll try again next year. I plan however to plant in a container garden where I can control the soil quailty and moisture. The neighbors on both sides use them for tomatoes and peppers and collect a nice season long harvest.

Aren't you a day early to be celebrating Cinco de Mayo?

She's pure as driven in snow ...

Oh good you've someone to wash your back. Sometimes wearin' clothes is sexier than not.

Hmmm, how to best word this ... You've really got to read this latest Headstall tale. Seriously, I don't want to give anything away but this is classic Headstall with a twist. The story is told from the viewpoint of one person, Chase. You get to watch as he grows and develops into the man he was meant to be. That's all I'm going to say except, the overwhelming amount of reader comments and discussion, some quite impassioned, is an indication of just how captivating this story is.

... and a really big bar of soap.

Well of course not, nightfall is coming.

Well I'll be ... wasn't sure you could or even if you intended to but you wrote another tale of redeeming love. You really are a hopeless ... no make that a hopefilled romantic. I'd like to see an epilogue/or a short one off but not just yet. Let the dust settle a bit first and then tell us how they're doing.

G'day y'all. It bodes a hot muggy day here. Though my head aches the pup and I managed an early morning walk. Now for some brekkie, a shower then a bit of quiet. Blessed be. ... Well I've had brekkie, toast with butter and cherry jam - two bites of which went to the pup. Taken that shower, the water cascading over my skin washing away the soap bubbles was comforting. Unfortunately none of that has done anything to ease the storm building in my brain. I've taken a bit of something, drawn the curtains and settled into the recliner in my room. There's a dozing pup curled up between my knees. Let us hope for better things.

Just some random thoughts coursing through your head? This was fun thanks for sharing.

Having grown both types I know that but where I grew up potato plants were often referred to as vines. Particularly when grown under mulch as I did.
