One session we got "Only the penitent man shall pass" on a door. Fighter tried to bum rush through it and blades cut him almost in half at chest height. Could go through but only if you crawled.

That one gets almost everyone
I've only started pin cherry seeds and milkweed.
It wasbdry enough finally, I would have finally be able to till part of the garden this week but not with my knees. Hubby said he'll help move pots this weekend. Tomatoes do better in them for me.
I need to get potting mix from Costco. If we...
