In order for Gary to see your posts, you need to make them with bold lettering. He has macular degeneration in his eyes and can’t see very well. ‘Tis why we are ALL using the bold printing.

Thank you Patty!

My grape vines are all sleeping . . . they're missing the whole thing

Yeah
our 3 yr plantings are in a deep slumber too

Hardy little things, grapes

Actually
standard size in bold works best for me

But I do appreciate the effort

Same here Gary. All the emails I send from my computer are in bold, helps a lot to see what I'm writing better. Hope you're doing okay.

 

[Gary O']

Hope you're doing okay.

Doing well, fine lady

You take care

Are you able to wear glasses with polarized lenses or would that not help with your eye condition?

I have those
Great for spotting holding fish back in my steelheading days

Now?
If I wore them, I'd require a complintary white cane

Nice suggestuon tho

What a contrast

Even more so with deciduous trees, IMO

 

[Tommy]
