lol @ the creepin critters...We had a blue million lady bugs around our new house when we moved in November of '04...and nothing last year...So I'm not sure why....but they never showed up again. I guess the conditions were right that winter...

I've never heard of the blue painted porch ceiling....interesting idea.... I had always heard the blue represented the sky in Victorian times...maybe it confuses the dirt daubers...lol

Every now and then, I'll spot a leopard frog makin' his self all comfy in my crown of thorns pot on the front porch at night. Since there isn't a watering hole within a mile from here...I have no idea why he hangs around, but glad he does... :)

Nada, this is my yellow crown of thorns...also a bit of an oldster...but my tree in the back is about 15 years old....and one that refuses to sit up straight in its pot.....It has taken a bit of a beating over the years, having fallen off of tables and patio rails twice now. So I actually lost 2 large branches...and I reckon its still sulking about that....since its still crooked...lol Its just too big for me to try to upright it again....
