Lots of nice variegated trees, Celeste, that would be better than Norway, including JM's and dogwoods.
Coffee Break #13 Come on in the A/C is own.
I just bought a clematis and planted it. I also remembered to water it as it went in! I now have a hose close by.
I got Sweet Autum(at least that's what the tag says. It's white(according to the tag)
I just had to cut down my sweet autumns. They grew enormous and didn't have a fragrance, which is what I thought what they were known for! Oh, well. Now I have room for my rambling roses.
I put mine on the oppisite side of the arbor than my rose. I hope they will evenually cover it.
sweet autumn is nice jumper and it does get pretty big fast!
Oh, it'll cover the arbor and the rose too!
ooooooooh, Celeste, that's a gorgeous variegated maple. I can see why you want one!!
I still don't get why people don't like the Norways???? What are the negatives?
Ten billion seedlings per square yard! No great fall color either.
is that with a B?
Sorry - Trillion is the new Billion. Forgot.
Whoo Hooo!
I found Dave's Garden on Facebook. It certainly is not as active there as it is here.
I signed up for Facebook a couple of months ago. I was underwhelmed.
I am, too. But occasionally it can be helpful. Not very often, just occasionally. [Besides, and don't tell them ... I keep up with the kids are doing. Shhhhhh]
Do you tweet, Candyce?
Couldn't you start a mail order business with the pretty little seedlings???
Tried to. Kept stuttering.
No, really. I did Tweet for about a week. Couldn't keep up and most of the Tweets were Twits. [Sorry, Twitter fans. It's just my cup of tea]
That should have been .... NOT my cup of tea
Be very careful about giving too much info or photos on Facebook. I know of a couple of nightmare situations......one resulted in a stalking and one in identity theft. I don't trust it.
I'm for the anti-Facebook. Maybe, Buttbook?
LOL, Victor!!! That's a good one!!
Oh, yes. I am careful. I don't share anything but scenic photos and gardening photos. Perhaps an occasional pet photo.
But, there's quite a few of us from Nelson who are on FB, and we 'talk' quite a bit.
Yes!
Good one, Victor.
Candyce - how was your trip to the Cape???? Are you still doing your day care or are you taking a break for the summer? Also, did you know that Kathy is having an RU at her place on Saturday??
Louise ....
glad to 'see' you. I was wondering if any of the hard rain got you and Hank all waterlogged earlier this evening.
The Cape was simply marvelous! I hadn't had a vacation in decades, didn't think I needed one, but upon returning home I felt so refreshed! I can definitely tell the difference in my outlook.
Ash and I went to P-town every day and just walked and did whatever we wanted to do. There is a museum there for the Whydah (widdah), which is an actual pirate ship that was lost off the coast. We went through that. We went on a whale watch, which was utterly fantastic. Ashleigh piloted a schooner across the bay. We walked, we ate, we slept like babies. We had a great time.
Yes, I am still doing day care for the summer. I'm actually looking forward to it.
And I was unaware of Kathy's RU, darn it! I have a prior engagement with the other in-laws. (I'd rather be at Kathy's)
Glad Sweet Autum grows well, I've not had good luck but decided to try again.
Your vacation sounds wonderful, Candyce!! What fun things you did! I'm so glad to hear that you got some quality R & R.....especially after a tough winter!
I'm sorry I didn't check earlier to make sure you were aware of Kathy's RU. The info is on the Roundup Forum, if anyone else is interested!
Ah, Louise. You are so sweet.
I'm sorry I'll be missing Kathy's RU, but it's not your fault that I missed the invitation on the Roundup Forum.
Hi All
I've been so busy, ever lurking but not posting so much.
Today is my son's birthday - took him shopping for work clothes, doesn't sound like fun, but I got him set up with business attire. He actually said it was exciting. I told him I need pictures! Like he's back in third grade or something! He looks good dressed up, I don't get to see it too often, now it will be an every day occurrence.
Glad you had a good vacation Candyce.
Happy Birthday to your son, Deb! He's a corporate guy now!
Thanks Victor - almost!
Good morning y'all I am trying to figure out how to send y'all so of this heat. The weather man say it will fill like 100-105 this afternoon. I am eying the dog's pool or maybe one of y'all will find me sitting on your front porch.
Wren! I am in love with that photo! What a great summertime shot.
Don't want it that hot!! Just send some sun.
I see some sunshine peeking through the clouds, Jen. Have you seen any where you are yet?
The sun rose today but that was about it. Now it is totally cloudy and getting darker by the minute.
Oh dear!
Well, if it's any comfort, the sun is hiding AGAIN here. But it DOES seem to be lightening up a bit. I'm crossing my fingers for both of us.
the day will clear because i need to mow the lawn - late today!
My patio stuff is now on the lawn for 16 days and counting...
