My Wife has thankfully been watering the vegetable gardens so those should be okay.
Greenhouse items seem to be doing fine. I have a Ring camera for the backyard. Doesn’t give a ton of detail but grainy visual looks good all things considered.

I know that word skookum from Jack London Klondike gold rush type stories. It was used to describe a person as brave, strong, the real deal. I had his collected stories as a child and reread them relentlessly. Always got excited over different looking words.

I never knew about Skookum either but the other three were no brainers.

Yeah, Bunnyhug is a very regional term. Don’t know that it’s used outside of Saskatchewan.

I learned something new today.
Where I grew up, if a person is dressed in all black and is wearing a black Bunnyhug, we say that person is "murdered out."
