Disndat on a Tuesday

One learns things on blogs.

For some time, I have noted in my British programs that British caskets are different than ours.

Then, I discovered that ours are caskets and theirs are coffins.

The main difference between a casket and a coffin is their shape and construction: caskets are rectangular with four sides, often made of metal or high-quality wood with hinged, split lids. Coffins have six or eight sides, tapering to be wider at the shoulders and narrower at the feet. Caskets are common in North America, while coffins are more traditional, particularly in Europe. (AI)

Now, I know, and this pleases me for some reason.

========================

Last April, I noted that two daffodil plants had suddenly appeared in our little front garden. They were a bit of a mystery and still are because we hadn't had daffodils appear for quite some time. It's nice that they are back this year.

=========================

We have three bags of lawn clippings and leaf littler out front. The town does a special pickup for two weeks each spring and autumn. If we have compostable vegetative matter to discard between those times, we can take it to the compost yard ourselves.

============================

I sowed (for want of better word because they don't have to go deep) the cosmos seeds that Blondi/Kate sent to me from Saskatchewan late last year. A postal strike caused them to arrive too late to plant last fall. I hope I get some results because I think it would be cool to have flowers from Western Canada in my garden, even if they are also called Mexican Daisies. Mexican Daisies via Saskatchewan would be most agreeable to me.

Sunday was warm, in the high teens or mid-sixties, depending on where you live. For some reason this guy almost ruined the mood. Time and place, bud.
