Good afternoon #HWCafe pals. We have been missing our #Hedgewatch friends and can't believe it's #Nipfest2025 already. We have had many adventures including NEW FOSTERS.

can we please have a round of ginger tom beer and a torty tipple for Grace. Festival feast and pizza to share as well!
I have a pair similar to these and I smile every time I put them on. Buy these! You won't regret it!
It's Grace's birthday today! Happiest of birthdays to my sweet, smart, and beautiful girl!

Thank you HQ, Lucy very much enjoyed being a part of the #Hedgewatch community and she is watching over us all from the Heavenly Hedges, as well as welcoming newcomers.
Three years ago I had to say goodbye to my beautiful chaos muppet Lucy. We were able to talk via a communicator and she had a gentle passing after her "going away party". She's been a presence with us ever since. #loveneverdies #hedgewatch
I also found my best sewing scissors in a bag in the pile in my room. So they have been returned to my own sewing box.
This week's small moment of joy: recently I came into possession of one of my grandmother's sewing boxes, which my mom had used. I opened it up the other night and found one of the "Made With Love By Grandma" labels she would sew into my clothes. It felt like a visitation.
We are all so very sorry for your loss. Jerry was a shining light and the soul of hospitality. Giving my tuxie boy an extra kiss in his honor.
We are just learning of this and send all our love to Jerry's human and all his friends. He was the Host with the Most at the Cucina and we will always remember his generosity. We know the RB is feasting with him. - Grace, Ellie, Jack, Foster Ash, Foster Cypress, and the 😇gang (with mom)
I have seen it more recently but usenet was the first!
Happy birthday to us! Wishing you all good things in this coming year! Health, happiness, liberty and prosperity to all!
🎵"Farm box tomatoes farm box tomatoes
What'd life be without farm box tomatoes"🎵

I used to get homegrown 🍅 but I don't live in tomatoland any more.

Time for BLTs and BATs (slice em dice em). I also got the first corn of the year and zucchini so it's calabacitas time.
Two of the many silly nicknames I have for Jack are "Noodle Boy" and "Jack Linguini".
Ash and his awesome ginger brother Cypress are available for adoption! They are great cats and would be great companions for an older pet or a child.
Double shrimp special on the menu! Jack (tuxie) and Foster Ash (gray tabby) serving up a lot of cute. #Hedgewatch
ObKathryn: "Boozy Elizabeth Badger!"

Jokes asides, I presume your response was "Yes, Your Honor" and then proceeding to rein it the f in.
They weren't well known outside California/people who had read Lindsey Shere's cookbook at that time. Now I can buy them all year but that was a precious stash then.
The ones from my parents' tree were extra orange. My ex (who grew up in Canada, so not familiar) peeled one and bit in because he thought it was an orange. He got a surprise!
Meyer lemons are wonderful! They perfume a room beautifully.
Oh my God, this is amazing! I worked for a biotech company that was trying to do this 30 yrs ago. We were of course unsuccessful but did put together the first really good quant test. What beautiful news!
It’s a beautiful time of year at the Monterey Market - the blueberry bin is back
