Holly, I really like your birdbath pool. That is one BIG Iris. I'm seriously jealous of your hot tub. My body needs one.

Lady, your shrubs look cozy in their winter coats. It was close to 70 here today. So strange to hear of you so bundled up. That lavender flower is really pretty.

Sally, I like your artifact garden!! Every time you mention some weed I have to go into PF and look it up. Right now I have a bunch of thistle in one part of my bed. I keep digging it up and using Round Up on it, but it keeps coming back. I also think that I have Creeping Charlie all over my yard growing in the vole ruts. It is a royal pain to try to get rid of.

I actually had a non-gardening day. My nieces came down from NYC for the weekend. They are worried about me as I haven't been up there all summer as I'm still having feet problems and can't walk much. They spent the AM fixing all of my computer and electronics snafus. Kids must be born knowing how to use all of this stuff. I fixed them a fantabulous brunch and then we went out to do some reverse shopping, ie returning things. After only 1 return at HD my sister called and said her family wanted to come by for a visit. Well, we had a pre Thanksgiving feast!!!! Nothing like whipping up a 4 course dinner with 6 side dishes, 2 main courses, 2 kinds of bread and 5 desserts in 1 and a half hours. My mother would have been impressed!!! My 7 yr old nephew kept text messaging me from the living room and I sent my first ever text message today!!!!

My niece wanted a photo of her dinner to put on her MYSpace page. What a generation!!!!

Everyone's in bed and I just finished washing up and putting everything away. And I was going to stay off of my feet today!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
