It's that time of year again. As the danger of frost increases, I need to get all the succulents and tender plants into a protected environment, so they can safely survive the winter. I have a fan heater in the greenhouse and set...

Hanni Harel @NormanDarlo That is a clever idea to use bubble wrap to insulate the greenhouse. There is a building in this neighborhood where they insulate the plants in winter. I think that is a clever idea.

We got the coldest temperatures of the year last night. 28 degrees. But the sun is shining bright now and it should be in the 40s for the high. The birds are enjoying the sunflower seeds on the deck. I am watching them from...

CarolDM @NormanDarlo From what I read, the British name would be a scone. It is the closest I can find to our biscuits. But there are people who disagree and they say, for people in the UK unfamiliar with American biscuits, perhaps savory fairy cakes is a good...

On my last visit to Rome, I took the bus out to Trastevere. The name comes from Latin trans Tiberim ("across the river Tiber") and it is an area that has been somewhat apart since ancient times. In the early years it was a...

CarolDM @NormanDarlo It looks very delicious. And the oysters have to be lightly breaded and fried just right.

Judy Evans @NormanDarlo I could have lived on the bread and butter there. It is different to the bread we get here. A French baker in the next but one town imports his flour from France as he says our flour is not the same and doesn't give him the results he is after.

Anna @NormanDarlo It is a very old song and it is still unclear what ciumachella really means, I will ask a Roman. You are correct about the lamb and the oxtail.

Anna @NormanDarlo It happens, the US printed maps were "not to scale", I missed the only turn that on the map looked like a 45 angle turn, in reality it was not. I felt very bad. I noticed it was warmer and warmer. When we arrived at a small town I checked the sign...

I got out in the garden this morning, and with some help, got lots achieved, turning over compost, trimming harvested bamboo canes, raking leaves. But it was windy and cloudy from the get-go, and come midday the heavens opened up...

Denise @NormanDarlo I really am in Japan, in western Tokyo. We don't change the clock here. That means that in the summer, the sun comes up at about 4:00 but still is down before 8:00 p.m. In the winter, the latest we have sunrise is about 6:30 which is still later...

Life is not always smooth. There are many bumps and disasters. Bad things happen to the bad and the good. No one is immune. It may lead us to wonder if God cares for us. Do you think that God cares about us? What proof would...
