Holiday Gifts for Children Who Drop By
Thanks for the comments. I avoided candy and cookies because some adults do not allow those things for their children.

I do not know of anyone else who has taken that particular route from Cornwall to the Summer Isles via the West of Ireland on a yacht.

Christmas Flower Plant Poinsettia
This was very interesting. I didn't know about poinsettias of other colors, and I really like the pink one in the second video! I also didn't know that colder temperatures or darkness turn these leaves red. How amazing. :) Thank you so much for ...

Holiday Gifts for Children Who Drop By
That's a charming tradition and one I hadn't encountered.
Here at my house, I have chocolate Santas and items on the tree. Children can go to the tree and choose something from the tree. It's a small gift but always appreciated.

We love our locality so we will be happy to give ideas for venues which are possibly a little off the usual, beaten track but worth a visit....

Love stuffed animals. Soft and cuddly, even adults can hug them when in need.

Guido Brunetti Gardens: Derivative Donna Leon Gardens for Fathers Day
I love gardens and they are always preferred when site-seeing. I am into gardening of ornamental plants and flowers but this article inspires me to try growing edible garden. With limited space, I want to grow herbs first in the pots.

Flying Cars for Personal Transportation: George Yan and the EHang 184
A fantasy coming true, although I have my doubts of traffic control and other viable stuff. However; they will definitely get the world decongested? Hope the flying cars do not end cluttering the space. For now, it is best to leave the space to ...

Mira,
We like to take the grandchildren here because the animals are well cared for and have huge open space. That is how we want the children to see animals.
We went again just 3 weeks ago. The animal handling sessions were guinea pigs and ...

Yes indeed beauty is very therapeutic. I do hope you manage a visit to Uk but if you do, the North which is largely forgotten by overseas visitors, is worth a visit.

I really enjoyed this :) The baby tapir is so cute :) And so is that thin-legged bird. Maybe I should go visit the zoo here again. But you're right, having these birds and animals free on the moors is much different.

A Garden Made Simple
I do not know if the weeds are fully prevented. In order to prevent weeds from pushing through mulch you might need thicker material than can be rolled. But reduced number of weeds, well that probably would happen.
