The snowbanks are shrinking! It’s still a little depressing in the back yard, but it’s getting better. I can actually see bare ground back there now. Heck, if you look really, really carefully below, you can see the composter sticking out of the large front snow bank. (You can totally
This is a neat little book – it’s got pictures of all the known stable elements. (Well, he’s stretching a bit for a few at the far end of stability, but there are also little write ups with each element to tell you why.) So I’ve really been enjoying having the Kindle app on

This is a young adult book, and isn’t explicitly set in Newford, but very well could be. There are two teenagers as the protagonists: TJ – whose parents lost all their money, and had to move to the city to get new jobs, meaning they gave up the farm, and the horse
