There seems to be far too much focus on the bad at times. I am hoping against hope that we can perhaps elect a more rational being in our next presidential election. Looks like Canada may have swung to a more liberal position in their recent election. <br /><br />Watching the folks attempting to escape from Syria and other nations in that area reminds me of the plight my family faced escaping from the Soviet invasion during WW II. I consider myself lucky indeed to have survived all that turmoil. My heart goes out to all those desperate folks especially with winter coming on and borders closing.

We usually have plenty as our season is so short and probably cooler than yours mostly. I will be hunkering down too for much reading and writing, I would like some time to read more books, but I don't think it is going to happen this yearJoannahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08013060781688432165noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3667528135627300426.post-90864238213015753742015-10-12T14:45:20.089+03:002015-10-12T14:45:20.089+03:00That's quite an impressive collection of tomat...That's quite an impressive collection of tomatoes. There are precious few green ones on our now-dead vines. No green tomato recipes for us this year! We're starting to hunker down for winter too. It will be mild by Latvian standards, but we have thin blood here. :) Today it's time to plant garlic and onions. Next week I'll harvest sweet potatoes. That will be the last major task of the year. Looking forward to time with books an extra cups of coffee this winter!Billhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08859125602809246773noreply@blogger.com
