Re: Thanskgiving Day

This particular skirt is long on me, nearly ankle length. On him it hits mid calf. So it works for either of us.

I went through a period when I bought skirts that were longer on me, so they do work appropriately on him.

Now, if he was inclined to wear my denim mini, it would look like a belt.

Re: Thanskgiving Day

Yeah. I even wore oxblood colored pumps and (gasp!) nylons and a necklace of bronze beads.

That cream colored skirt is 100% silk and is one of my skirts that he has co-opted.

Re: Question for election day

They are predicting 73% turnout in Massachusetts. The usual turnout is about 38%. I went to vote around 10am this morning and there was a line. I waited about 5 minutes. Everyone was jovial and chatting about this and that. My usual wait at voting time is about 30-45 seconds. Things were set up nice...

Re: Forum members in the U.S. Atlantic Coastal Area

Was nearly a non event here. Rain, wind, just a fall storm for us. My cousin on Long Island had his front door smashed in and there are lots of tree limbs gone. They playground of my youth, Seaside Heights, NJ is crushed.

Re: Gardening

Tom, Carl's metabolism is stuck in hyperdrive. The green chili stew turned out most tasty. Will scour the garden to see if there are more chilis for more stew to freeze up for the winter. Oh, good golly, this stuff is tasty! Was able to obtain a load of blackberries and process them down into the ba...

Re: Gardening

The summer garden is mostly done. Cantaloupe are finished and in the bellies of the birds. Still have red cabbage, various peppers and the sweet potatoes to harvest. Maybe a bit of leftover broccoli. If the weather will cooperate, I'll plant garlic, shallots, radishes, beans and peas. Pickles are ma...

Re: Gardening

Harvesting, harvesting. All of a sudden most everything has gone beyond ripe. Got to pull the canteloupe vines and get the bed ready for winter. Got to plant the garlic and shallots. Got to harvest the red cabbage and the rest of the peppers. I let the tomatoes go too long and most of that crop is g...

Re: Gardening

Well, the cucmbers have been transformed into dill pickles. I harvested 8 pounds or so of eggplant. Made moussaka. Will make more to freeze. Three heads of cabbage are ready to harvest. They will be turned into regular stuffed cabbage, moussaka stuffed cabbage and Italian cabbage casserole and froze...

Re: Gardening

Tom, Thanks! I am so happy with this year's garden! And the fresh veggis are so tasty! I'm not sure that Carl has had a fresh off the plant pepper before this. He was so impressed by the aroma and flavor. I'm not completely sure why, but gardening is important to me. It probably goes back to my mom ...
