My first outdoor tomatoes are ripening, hurray! I've been worrying about blight, as it's been so wet and dreary. 🤞These are Red Cherry. They were free with Gardener's World magazine 👍#GWFreeSeeds#tomatoes#growyourown#GYO

Le Petit Chef is an interactive dining experience. Projectors are used to show a story on your table before the corresponding food is brought out. Very cool 👏🏼
Cats have a precise method of walking called direct registering. Their hind paws fall inside the place of their forepaws, minimizing noise and visible tracks, while ensuring more stable footing.
