I figured why buy printers when you can always go and print at a FedEx (was Kinkos) and printers are forever dying anyway. Yes this ended up meaning I went to FedEx to print something a couple times in a pandemic, didn't plan for that, so that was the downside. I'm not allowed to print for work from home, this was non-work stuff.

Sure! The local iris society meets ina town 30 miles away and I am a member of that group (although it is dying.) It is common and expected that iris gardens are open for irisarians.Originally Posted by catherine
In recent years, Hermann had more iris judges per capita than any other town in our state. Haha (three of us.)
I bought a Brother all-in-one years ago. At some point, I futzed around with it and managed to irrevocably change the on-line help function to French.
I've never taken the time to figure out its finer points, but it still works, accepts generic ink cartridges, and generally doesn't cause problems. And I hope it never does, because my French is nearly non-existent at this point.
I have been enjoying the array of bluebells that are coming up in the cemetery where I walk the dog. Yesterday I noticed wild violets and spring beauty displays there so today, I took photos of all of them to draw and paint them. I found a patch of bluebells on the road allowance so dug up a few plants to try planting in my back yard. Fun to enjoy springtime this way.

Wow, IL! It sounds absolutely beautiful. I hope you will post some pictures!

I have been wishing for and needing dirt for my gardens at the new place. Yesterday the guy next door arranged for the guy who is trenching for highway department to dump a load of what he is trenching in my front yard.
He's like--oh, you don't want it, it's full of muck and rotted leaves. And I'm like, hooray!!
I do hope it is decent quality soil.
It is fine for what I am doing with it--I am clearing brush and making hills with the brush and covering them with dirt and growing pumpkins so that the roots can act to till the soil a bit. I have done this before, planted in stumps, but this will be my first large scale project and we'll see how it goes. Here's a forum that mentions it:

Our Costco hearing aid department. Took Mom who is 88 and wears Costco hearing aids into see if they could improve her hearing. They did a good amount of testing and told her that they could not help her have any more hearing than she has already. They actually said they could sell her a new fancier pair but her hearing would not improve. She was devastated but I appreciate their honesty right up front rather than heve her angry at the end when her hearing is not better and she has spent another $3,000.
That IS a good show for Costco.
