Wrightie--are you reincarnated here or something? You are too young to have a painting in your attic!!! You looked like a college student to me.

SO! I read the funnies in the newspaper, and that is (probably) 75% of the reason I subscribe to it in the first place. It still KILLS me that out paper stopped carrying "Prince Valiant"! You know, when I came to the USA in 1951, that cartoon was already running in the papers. I loved it!

Geez, hart! Attics are scary!!! Everything there is sort of "GRAY"! Besides--the "DOOR-IN"(?) to them can sometimes be hard to find.......
Who wants to visit up there anyway? Everything is so OLD--all dried up and wrinkled!!!!

OK! Enough mind games.....

Hey! Guess what???????
EVERYTHING I got yesterday has been planted (except Critters itsy-bitsy Columbines and the even itsier-bitsier Hellebore Foetidus--these need to be put in 4" or 5" pots and "nurtured" a bit). and watered in and I am now just hoping for some level of recovery at some of the more wilted plants. ..the Bell Flowers and the Begonia Grandis.
I will know in a day or so if they are "settling in". Sure hope so!

It is an overcast day here. No sun at all. Slight breeze. Might rain.
What a perfect day to transplant anything.
DO I GET THE FIRST PRIZE OR SOMETHING HERE???
I am DONE!!!!!

:o(.....:o(.....:o(....Someone else went home with my pot of "Grandpa Otts" rooted, and growing, Morning Glory. Boooo---Hooo----
Maybe someone was walking by my table and thought it was available, or, more likely, I laid it down somewhere and forgot it. You know--at my "advanced age", the brain matter is a bit "GRAY"......:o)

This may just turn into another "blu" thread! Except it will be a "GRAY" thread. We need something new to occupy our free time here.

OK! Two hours to go till I have to leave for work. SO stupid! We close at 7PM on Sundays. I am scheduled to be in 3-7PM--EXCEPT!--the opening Phone person is there until 8AM-5PM! They cannot schedule you for less that 4 hours, so I have to come in--kill 2 hours somewhere else (Garden), and then sit by the phones for 2 hours and go home. MAJOR el-stupido!!! Ruins a good Sunday for sure!

Hart! Don't forget to post your delicious Corn Pudding recipe. Please!

Just for y'all to see how little room I have in my WHOLE yard, I am posting pictures of my house from all sides. This is the front--faces NE. The stump in the front used to be a beautiful, red Japaneses maple until the drought in 1994 killed it. I could have cried! Now it acts as a prop to my big pot every year, but the stump is almost completely rotted. Any day now, it will come crashing down.
