Fin - Yeah!!! I am sure you will be so happy to have hubby back.

Weave - Still keeping you in my prayers.:hug:

Kelly - LOL. I have days like that too. Although, after my stress break day yesterday, I feel far more motivated and relaxed today.

Renee - Thinking of you. Deep breath sweetie. Oh, slow down you'll hyperventilate. LOL

Sandy - Hope you get to go to Sonic today.

Good morning everyone else. I hope everyone has a great day.

I am painting today. DD16 gets out of school early and then we are going to run errands so I need to rest up and conserve my energy this morning.

Also, fter watching the news last night and hearing that LeRoi Moore died, I am having a DMB (Dave Matthews Band) music day. What an incredible sax player he was. Truly amazing. (He played flute as well and I can only wish I could play mine that well).

Shrubs I bought yesterday
 

Hey everyone! I am doing laundry again today and planting my three treasures from yesterday. I bought two Knockout Rose bushes and one Rose of Sharon. I attached pics for you guys to see what they look like. Here you go Kitty! :D They do have the Rose of Sharon in a Blue Chiffon but the nursery was out of them. The guy told me as the flowers start to fall, the lavender turns somewhat blue.

Hope everyone has a good day! I spoke with Renee last night and she's OK, just needs some time to herself. Say a small prayer that things work out for her.

hey Sandy .. thanks for the beauti-mous shrubs!! ... OH, the flowers will turn a tinge of blue-purple depending on how 'acidity' your soil is ...

*that's what I was told about getting purple hydrangeas ... the flower is actually bluish-pink .. but to get purple ... more acidity in the ground soil*

where's that garden-farmer-gal of ours??

HELLOOOOO, KAY!!!! come out, come out wherever you are!!!

you meant the *other* Kay, right?

the ONLY plant I've grown successfully is marahoochie.

everything else, well, I've got an ORANGE thumb...

I do well with ducks, geese, turkeys, chickens, etc, but plants mystify me.

:o

well, shiver-me-timbers, :Poke:Kay ... and here I thought you were the "JANE of the Jungle-garden" ... LOL :ROTFLMAO:

thought with all your garden goodies .. OH, that was all the food for the critters! :Doh:

We know you do well with ducks, geese, turkeys, chickens, etc. You are the queen of animal husbandry. :D I can't remember the specific numbers but it seems you have several animals multiplying at an incredible rate. lol

LOL, Tricia ... after reading your post ... I thought of that the world will always survive because of Kay's birthing traits with all her critters!

well, okay, the wild orchids I rigged onto the mango trees are doing good.

and the cactus I planted (got some starts from a neighbor) last year, all along the driveway are thriving.

and the orange, mango, and avocado trees are surviving well.

but the vegetable garden is TOAST !!

there's more variety and number of bugs in this teensy-tiny country than ALL of the USA and Canada combined... really, truly, that's a fact !!

but... in the GOOD NEWS dept, guess what?

my PITAYA has just set its very first fruit !!

oh, I can practically TASTE it...

(*yum-yum*)

Pitaya (or Dragon Fruit) tastes like a luscious cross between watermelon and strawberry.

my doctor strictly forbade me working in the garden or yard, so it's been months since I've been out there.

see, I'm terrifically allergic to the fire ants, and since I am numb, I can't feel them bite, so I can get dozens before I know it, and I don't wanna end up in the hospital again, getting cortisone shots to stop the hives.

:eek:

so, I pretty much leave the plants to mi esposo.

:hug:

Had a quiet day today. I went and got my hair cut this morning, and have been reading and staring at ceiling this afternoon.

Hope everyone is doing well. I am still a tad bit dizzy.

so does the ceiling need painting, hiya barb hope your day was uneventful

howdy everyone well the best laid plans of mice and men........

Deb is really sick we all got some dang stomach flu, glad we didn't meet yesterday sandy, i would just hate myself if Jim caught this or yourself

so i bugged her about it till i finally told her she almost jumped up, but asked me to delay till a day she felt better and could truly enjoy it.. oh well perhaps i shall get her some nice roses for tomorrow and write a nice poem for her , i really wanted to surprise her

Hey sandy did you know this whole time there is one in east Peoria I would of made that road trip had i known, I stopped checking locations about a yr ago, sort of gave up hope, maybe this is why we have been flooded with sonic commercials to psychologically psyche us up to go buy mucho food

we had a great day not sure if either of us have gone past 30 ft from the bedroom wrest and wrelaxation


hope your day was a good one


shall be about


peace
