Well thanks Kay... I'm back down herre with Mom... going to spring her from the rehab facility on Monday and bring her back home... between her grandson and his girlfriend living in her house.. and a elder health care professional who might move in also... and a few shorter time folks to help with coverage she'll do better here than in her bed at the rehab place... there's more of an incentive to get up and do something ... with her cats and dogs or flowers doing something she might wish to move about to see..
want to get back to see my flowers myself.. and eat the black raspberries and strawberries, and red raspberries ..warm from the sun....and just now ripening.. I found out how to tell a black raspberry from a black berry... when you pick the black rasppberry... it has a hole in the top where the stem attaches.. like the red rasppeberry.. and a black berry... has a complete berry across the top in the dome looking end... no stem hole...
last week after reading this post I went lookig for a couple of seed pods I had.. and couldn't find them.. I should have had them enclosed in a nylon bag or something to hold them if it dropped.. and wouldn't have been lost to some garden helper sweeing it up off the roof.. or other animal.. the plants so grown out now... maybe I just missed it in there...
OH... I brought back a couple of mothers bengals ... Cotton ..a breeding mother snow leopard bengal... and the young silver bengal kitten...Silver. Mothers cattery days are over I'm afraid.. and her piles of Coccers from the kennels are now in homes...except for onle last light brown breeding female... that's open for adoption
