    Kay, love your photos! You are very talented. What camera do you shoot with?

     

    Too many hobbies........too little time

     

     

     

     

     

    Can you tell me what kind of vine this is?  I've been growing english ivy for YEARS and I still cant  get it to get to the top of my pergola like that.  I need something thats quick and easy.  I live in Ohio, so it needs to be winter proof.

    Anomalous

      Could have gone into journalism. I'm a good writer. I have always thought of writing a novel, but haven't found that "thing" yet.

       

      Also, I can fold my tongue into the shape of a taco and have tied cherry stems before.  Joking

          This was a few years ago, it's even bigger now.  Its two different varieties of Concord Grape, don't know the

          particular variety anymore as I've had it for about 10 years. I'm in Canada, believe me it's winterproof. I have

          to hack the darn thing back halfway through each summer or otherwise it hangs down to the deck.

           

          It was growing on top of the pergola by the 3rd season, had a good harvest of grapes on season 4.

           

          I make organic grape jelly every fall if I harvest before the raccoons get them.

            My secret talent, I got a perfect score on the reading comprehension segment of both the ACTs and SATs (when I took them 12 years ago.) So I guess that means I can read real good.

             

            And I can still do the splits! Even at 4 months preggo.

                  I read it as a talent that the rest of the running world/forum doesn't know about.

                    Then posting about it makes it not a secret.

                      LOL.

                       

                      I do have a secret talent of being able to listen to and comprehend 2-3 conversations at once.  So, if I'm on the phone and you're talking near me, chances are I heard it all.

                      And damn it, there goes the secretness.

                      As part of the 2024 London Marathon, I am fundraising for VICTA, a charity that helps blind and visually impaired children. My mentor while in law school, Jim K (a blind attorney), has been a huge inspiration and an example of courage and perseverance. Please consider donating.

                        My secret talent is being the cliff claven of message boards and finding random shit.

                            My talent is that I can somehow make the important people in my life believe that I have talents. In reality, I have none.  And it's true too!

                              I have no secret talents unless you count webbed toes, but my wife does. Her dad was a builder, and taught his daughters. We are doing our kitchen over among other things and it is real cool learning how to do more than I knew from her.

                               

                              !!!!!! Me too!!! I don't feel so alone now Big grin.
