All the roses are planted, each tucked into a large hole with compost added and well-watered. I'm still kicking myself for not cleaning Chamblee's...
My washing machine now is pristine! I did the three cups of vinegar after filling the tub with hot water, let it set for 30 minutes or so, then...
Ed, Frack will not be happy in a plastic bag, even if the top is open. How about taking Frack into a smaller cage (even a cardboard box) for a...
LIcenter, there is a cement "factory" near here that has all sorts of yard art made of cement (anyone want a lifesize cement gorilla?:)) but they...
We are planning a Santa hat and a red bow-tie for Christmas. Hadn't thought of Thanksgiving--if I can't come up with the headband, perhaps a...
Dooley, it is a replica of an Easter Island statue, and I'd bet we're the only kids on our block that have one!
We recently had a large hackberry tree taken down that was threatening our home, and our lives. The 3' stump provided an opportunity to do a...
I love that caption! Especially since that is a photo of a very young giraffe born at the Waco Cameron Park Zoo. Well done, Hank, and I'm looking...
Ohh, please roast some and enjoy one of life's greater pleasures! Those are lovely chestnuts--do you have to tend the tree in any way, perhaps...
It seems you are enjoying your new property already! It is a lovely view, and the wildlife you'll see--wow! Keep us posted, please.
Hilda, you brought back memories of upstate NY winters, and trying to keep the driveway clear, and a path to the house. Snow shoveling is one of...
Welcome from central Texas! You'll love it here and please feel free to join in the conversations and answer/ask questions.
Islandlife, I agree that most plants don't read their own tags! I've planted roses touted as 3'x4' and found out that 6'x5' is more likely;...
Barb, aren't we blessed with great husbands! That greenhouse, like the rest of your gardens, looks so tidy and well cared for.
Who would have known that those two were the same young lady! She is imaginative, and talented. Hope the Haunted House appreciates her and pays...
Yes, Toni, having the "cleaning lady" (me:() scrub directly with bleach may do it. If not, I'll try 409 and rub vigorously (early in the morning...
I know this sounds silly, but I am still going to ask. I wash a lot of cleaning cloths and workshop cloths in my clothes washer. I've noticed that...
You have such a friendly garden! Great photos of butterflies and birds, and even the thirsty squirrel. We have tithonia here also, and it is a...
Sjoerd, I can't wait either! I always pick roses that have bloomed, but are not in bloom (lessens transplant shock) so I only have the catalog...
Carolyn, thank you for sharing your gorgeous fall colors! We don't have a brilliant autumn, just a subtle change of colors, so seeing your version...
