Has anyone in our "Question family" never seen in person The ocean Snow A big mountain range yes and I love them all. I would love snow a lot more if I could just go home to Colorado and "visit" it there, rather than shoveling it here....but, in perspective, it's all good.
Do you have a season of excess of a particular fruit or veggie where everyone you see offers you some ? the zukes, the cukes, & the 'maters! we have a regional food bank that sets up a temporary donation site for fresh produce. pretty uplifting to see it in action.

Ok it is 6 months till Christmas, has any here started their shopping already ? what kind of cruel games are you playing? I have perfected the art of waiting until there is nothing left worth picking over. I am also quite adept at keeping the U.S. Postal Service in business with my overnight shipping fees. Now is not the time to suggest I might be able to change my ways!

It depends on the year and how the weather is during the growing season. Some years we have so many tomatoes that we have to beg people to take them off our hands, and they don't want any more because they have so many of their own. Our neighbors don't generally grow zucchini, fortunately - I like the stuff, but in moderation.

I've come up with one or two notions, though I don't know that I'd describe them as "really good ideas."
Just for Fun:
Ok it is 6 months till Christmas, has any here started their shopping already ?
Back when our kids were younger, I would have answered yes to this one, because I used to shop year-round for Christmas to reduce the sudden impact on the budget. Nowadays, though, we take a much more minimalist approach to Christmas gifts, so I don't get quite so obsessive about starting early.

The ocean oh yes yes yes and love love love it. Snow yes but some have seen more than their share I"m sure. especially this last year. A big mountain range yep yep yep.
Do you have a season of excess of a particular fruit or veggie where everyone you see offers you some ? no not excess. Bring on the tomatoes.
****lol just yes or no !!! ****no, never thought about that but I will now.
Because if you have really good ideas DM them to me !! please I will.

The ocean Yes Snow Not like you guys have seen it, I've only seen it thick on the ground once when I was about 7 when we were driving through the Blue Mountains to go to Sydney. It has only snowed twice in my town in my life, the first time it was on the ground briefly and the second time it didn't stay on the ground at all. I hear of it snowing in the highlands around here, but I never have been in it. A big mountain range Australia has a mountain range that goes right down the eastern coast called the Great Dividing Range, I have crossed this range countless times. Our highest peak is Mount Kosiuoszko which is in the Snowy Mountains and is 2,228 meters above sea level and I haven't been there.

You name it, depends on the season but there is not much that doesn't grow here.

Ok it is 6 months till Christmas, has any here started their shopping already ? I haven't even thought about it, I feel like it was only just Christmas! We have an interesting tradition here in Australia called "Christmas in July" where people have a traditional winter Christmas in our winter, we don't usually do presents though. There are some places in the mountains where it snows that hold Christmas in July weekends every year.
