Kim, I always enjoy your dog photos! Your pooches are so photogenic.

I like the looks of a fire but hate fires. I don't like the smell or the heat in one spot. But, the flames can be calming and mesmerizing.

Good luck with garlic. Never tried to grow any myself. We use so little of it.

Good buy on the eggs. My friend used to have chickens on her farm and I enjoyed getting fresh eggs for free, but she had so many problems with foxes, hawks, and domestic dogs attacking her chickens, which were also pets, she gave them away.
