Back at the beginning of the summer I bought some lovely plastic, but look like dark grey stone, window boxes.  I had daffodils in them and they looked great but they are of course now dead.  We are trying really hard to see...

OK, I will try just water to begin with.   Using T-shirts is a good idea too but I just had a big clean out and sent everything off to goodwill   I thought it was cool that that blog showed how to fold them up so...

I forgot to ad that my DD was 31inches and 24 pounds at her 1yr check up.   I have a bit of a stash of follow on milk, say another month, maybe I could do 50/50, cows in the morning and afternoon, follow on at night? ...
