lol lara. yep that would be a mess. but i have thought about one for the front.

the whole back part by the fence is planted with canna's and other bulb type of flowers and plants. big elephent ears, banana trees, day lillys, tulips, crocus...and a bunch i can't remember. in the spring and summer the colors really pop. i think our neighbors thought we were crazy. :p we won them over with the end result. ( and inviting them over for bbq ;) )

my favourite colours in the garden are the jacaranda colour or close to it, with white and a lemony yellow. I love those three colours together with lush green foliage.
I also love the cottage garden look too, with a little bit of everything, but that only works in the right soil and climate and setting.

Florida and here are having similar weather today by the sound of it. Weird, hey! Well, it's not weird for here, 'cause it's Summer.

How to humiliate your dog!

LOL.

Beautiful dog!

school is canceled again for tomorrow. Rebecca is so upset. LOL. I guess we'll be going to school in june this year. ANYWAY the weathermen are predicting around 5 inches of snow starting saturday and into sunday. If they are right we'll be out of school again on Monday:Sigh:
Your poochie is georgous Julie!!!!

yikes goofy!

i'm sure they will look at any teacher in service days...good friday, things like that. or saturday school. i know we have had to do that.

Thanks! I'm partial to her too. She is sooo beautiful.

Oh Goofy, that's bad. We are under advisory until Friday. I hope it doesn't come this far south. I remember missing a full week of school in Feb of 1978 due to ice....much worse than this. If this stuff doesn't dry up, it's going to refreeze tonight and be a disaster tomorrow.

Our side street really isnt' that bad, but we have alot of country roads here in Norman and most of them are hilly... I'm thinking they are the reason school is canceled again for tomorrow. it only takes one bus wreck to bring about many law suits... :( and just the thought of even one child getting hurt...... yeah... its worth canceling school over. I checked the school website earlier this week and we're going to school on Feb 16. i guess they were suppose to be out that day, and it said instead of school being out May 24th now its May 25th... BUT those are for the 2 days we missed in December... We've got so far 3 days to make up with this one...I remember one year they made the kids go to school 15 minutes longer every day for like a month or something like that to make up for missed school days.... hey.... that sounds like a good plan to me. LOL

There are several Texans on Neurotalk that we have communciated back and forth via PM on this weather. Such a rarity to have Ice, sleet and brrr temps in the Austin, San Antonio, Houston areas. But, in a week or so, we will fire up the Barbeque again and jump into the pool. :p One man being interviewed on TV with an Icycle in his hand stated, "this beats August Temps" :)

no pool for me for awhile lisa. but i still grill in the snow. :D
