A Literal Cabbage. What do you want from me?
Depends - there will be a lot of local things around the place; in Oxford a choir sing from Magdalen College Tower to a crowd below.
There’s lots of local things like the 'Obby 'Oss, maypole dances and so on.
But it’s not really a big thing nationally over here.
I have a similar issue (UK garden) where my cats have trodden a desire path into my lawn over years, plus some over-shaded areas from an evil combo of a fig and a buddleia.
I’m tempted to sow some clover, but equally I’m sure some lawn-gurus here might be able to advise on what would be best to keep some plant cover?
Flowers and a card - if my wife was a mother? I’d probably go a bit more high effort but what that means will depend on what she wants generally!
I’m also British so Mothers day has been and gone (it’s tied in with Easter here), and I don’t bother with the superfluous additional one…
How’s that going in the US?
Fixing things is nearly always cheaper than buying new
This really depends on what you’re fixing. My laptop has a crap battery. To buy a new one is a few hundred quid. Plus various proprietary/niche screw bits. Plus the time to actually do it.
An equivalent new laptop is fractionally more expensive, and I can have it delivered to my home, freeing up the time element.
Tomfix my bicycle? I might need some internal components for my brifters; cheap AF and I know what I’m doing (and where to buy from). New shifters several orders of magnitude more expensive.
Bold of you to assume I’m intelligent - I use Arch BTW.
