What a great sign! I'd seen that slogan on tee shirts, but it's even better on your gate. I want to put up a sign on our fence that says, "Bees...
I missed something (not unusual occurence). What is this "give a gnome" that suddenly appeared for replies? What does it mean? Are gnomes better...
D is absolutely right--a branch of a rose bush won't root in water. It needs rooting hormone, a medium (I use half vermiculite and half perlite)...
Gee SH, I was the one wanting to get out and away--and my dear husband agreed. We're both happier now (maybe I'm a bit more happy than he, but he...

Cheryl, Glad to see you tamed the dragon (your brother)! If he "ain't goin' in there" your garden should be safe from well-intentioned mistakes.
Cheryl and Digits, just sent y'all a PM with my "hate" list!

Those are lovely spring flowers! Many of them are similar to our Texas ones. Hope you can get out into the forest again and take more photos!
Cheryl, thanks for the warning! I'll get our feeders filled and out tomorrow. We have a couple of hummingbird-attracting plants in bloom, so I...
