An empty cubby house

Judy Evans @JudyEv (349381) • Rockingham, Australia 24 Mar

Every second or third day at our house-sit, we have to water the gardens. Most of it is reticulated so it’s a matter of switching valves on and off every 10 to 15 minutes. The whole process takes a bit over an hour. To one side...

In Praise of Moringa

Xavier Bage @franxav (14050) • India 14 Mar

It is moringa season for us. Most of our moringa trees are bearing sticks ( drum sticks, as they are known in some quarters). I decided to pluck them early when they are still tender. They grow in size rather fast and develop...

The Horse @TheHorse (224789) • Walnut Creek, California 14 Mar

Have you watched any of these Hitler memes? Some are pretty funny.

The Horse @TheHorse (224789) • Walnut Creek, California 6 Mar

Hitler memes are pretty popular among Americans now, for obvious reasons. My favorite is from a few years ago, and involves baseball. I think it was about the Oakland A's letting Jason Giambi go to the NY Yankees. But I can't find...
