It comes from Flemish/Dutch, and it's in the U.S. and British dictionaries too.Ken Broadhursthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04430899802705818716noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18071407.post-82485162069582839362017-04-08T06:24:28.157+02:002017-04-08T06:24:28.157+02:00Bertie is doing fine.

The vet said his wound was nearly completely healed, and he had lost nearly half a pound over the two weeks of his recovery. He needed to lose a little weight, as those who've seen him knew. I'm feeding him less now that his hunting season is open again.Ken Broadhursthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04430899802705818716noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18071407.post-43789057717658677872017-04-08T06:21:59.556+02:002017-04-08T06:21:59.556+02:00It's true, there's not much light pollutio...It's true, there's not much light pollution here, still these days. When we first came here 14 years ago the skies were breath-taking, and they still sometimes are. 10 or more years ago, our neighbor the mayor asked us what we thought about having street lights installed on our little road. We told her we were against it, because we didn't want the light pollution. She dropped the idea. Anyway, in summertime, when people might be out walking in the evening, it doesn't get dark until as late as 10:30 or even 11:00.Ken Broadhursthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04430899802705818716noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18071407.post-11060957242300074832017-04-08T05:12:40.452+02:002017-04-08T05:12:40.452+02:00Just catching up, and I read your post on the loca...Just catching up, and I read your post on the local quiet. Another thing you must have is a fairly clear night sky, without terminal light pollution. I so miss being able to see the Milky Way.<br />The greenhouse looks wonderful. So glad it's working as well as you thought it would.Emmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17365143273404503659noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18071407.post-82176633462645336042017-04-08T00:24:01.524+02:002017-04-08T00:24:01.524+02:00I love the shape of the gate !

Putting a greenhouse right there was such a good idea- it's the perfect spot and probably helps keep the mud out of your basement.Evelynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17824964122794535252noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18071407.post-2741450659725489292017-04-07T13:52:45.908+02:002017-04-07T13:52:45.908+02:00looks lovely....btw, how is Bertie doing??looks lovely....btw, how is Bertie doing??melindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14337254308066184912noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18071407.post-78003600206404962542017-04-07T12:42:54.491+02:002017-04-07T12:42:54.491+02:00It's great that the greenhouse is living up to...It's great that the greenhouse is living up to your expectations.
