baby goats!!!!

If anyone has not watched the PBS documentary on the Central Park Five, I highly recommend it. There are only three days left, because it is Ken Burns (although it is not very Ken Burns-y, probably because his daughter wrote it) I have just been reading "Our Boys" [link] which is a look at how and why white suburban "jocks" were protected after they gang raped a mentally challenged girl. What a contrast!

See, those kids I want on my lawn.

Hey, flower and plant people, what are the yellow & purple flowers? [link]

Those are violas, sarameg. They're related to pansies, but smaller.

We always called them "johnny jump ups"!

OK, knew they were a common variety, just couldn't remember what. I don't think I planted them last year (though I like them a lot) but can't be sure.

I allow them to every day, but generally hang my towel(s) on the shower rod for re-use if it's just a 2 or 3 day stay.

I never allow them in every day. Maybe every 2 days, if I am staying by myself.

I make my own bed at hotels, only because I'm embarrassed at the state of the blankets and pillows from how much I toss and turn while sleeping.

That's the name I know, Sophia. I think I also learned viola, but johnny-jump-up is what I use.

I don't think I understand the hotel question. How do you stop housekeeping from coming in?

I started watch Hannibal based on stuff posted here. omg I am loving it thus far. I can see that it might get old, but love.
