#4 - still laughing with joy

Internet still down at house, but Miss Carrie, your baby plant is going in it's pot this evening. :-)

Thank you, Miss Debra! I only hope it arrives after July 8? Or before the end of June? Is that possible for one to request?

If I ship on June 26 via Priority Mail, the box should arrive by June 30. Or I can wait to ship until July 10. Both are Saturdays, but if shipped Thursday or Friday, the package might end up sitting in the post office for a couple of days. Let me know which works best for you. :-)

Miss Sheri, Glad you're here.
Miss Debra, The temp hit 100* in the valley today. 92* up here. I can't imagine how hot you got in Dallas. Someone at the doctors office said"You do realze this is only June!"
Miss Carrie, everyone around has hydrangias blooming now Maybe i should go around and ask them all, Just how they grow them. LOL

Miss Vickie, big smile! This was my first - DH didn't like them before we got this one; this is not a blue-pink one. This is just cream-brick, and it's not pH dependent, or I have the right pH!

Miss Debra, shipping July 10 would probably be safer (on your end). I will ship ASAP. Prolly Monday, as I said. I have to make a list of to whom
i'm sending what! You realize Ech.s don't like me .....

Carrie, if it doesn't work, we'll try again. :-)

Carrie, I'll save you some seed and have my witch cat put a good spell on them.

that's us...hope the whole thing comes through. lol

Obviously, ferns are very feminine! I love it when I see in my thread-watcher "still laughing with joy" come up, since we are!

Uh-Oh, I like ferns. Should I be worried? Maybe not, since it is big, macho ferns like Austrilian tree ferns and ostrich ferns that catch my eye. Whew! :-)Jim

Jim, you're fine.

,

Good one.

Yep! Thats a keeper.
Is it time to get out fall silk flowers and jack o lanterns? Or am i rushing the season.Maybe it'll scare up some cool weather.The first cool week and i'm going camping!!!!!
Carrie, What kind of seed was i going to save for you?
Not that i have a memory problem or anything.

.

"MOM!!! Tiger pulled my tail!" LOL.

Cats are so expressive...

I want a kitty.

Nadi, do you want to be on the real name/screen name llist at the top of the forum? I know I think twice every time I see your name. I know who you are, but my poor brain ....

Sure, Carrie. Sorry, I kept meaning to put my name on there, but kept forgetting. I guess that illustrates why such a thread is needed. I'm a bit scatterbrained. I can't even blame my age or MS for it. MK says, in someone my age, that is a symptom of physical depression and suggest I try anti-depressant drugs to see if that helps. I think some of us are just born space cadets and have to learn mental discipline. It is more likely, I'm just one of those.. lol Nadine

Okay, so it isn’t the most original idea anyone ever had for using a snake gourd, but it makes fun garden art for the Boys garden. Little boys, I am discovering, are strange and often gruesome creatures so it works for them. ~Nadine~

Been in my house for six years and, out of nowhere this fall, these spider lilies popped up at the curb between my house and the neighbor's, and also across the street two houses down. I came out to go to work and there they were. The photographs are not enhanced, it was about 8:30 and the morning sun was making them look like the flowers were in a globe of gold. Very, very cool. :-)

Debra

Second one.

ah, too quicky on the clicky again...

Ooooooo, that is pretty!
I guess this thread is really the right venue for my Sunday funnies. I'll start posting them here next week. ~Nadine~. .

Please, yes! This thread is to remind us that we always have something to celebrate even when our lives are at their worst.

Those ARE pretty - I love the firey color.

The only the thing thats popped up recently that wasn't supposed to is euonymous sprouts. Burning bush - which is attractive for the two weeks it "burns" - is a noxious weed in Massachusetts. You're not allowed to sell it pr DISTRIBUTE it. Someone should tell that to the BIRDS! It doesn't even come true from seed, and it's growing in my container with begonias and sansverias!

Debra, My surprise lillys are blooming too.In among the weeds.
I think there is a male cat doing some long hauling over the road trips. Your kittens look just like mine.
I sure did need your quote right now.

It has finally rained a little I sat my new Venus flytrap outside to take advantage of the humidity. A lizard stopped to check out this strange new plant. That was my inspiration for this week’s drawing. ~Nadine~

Photo: “Hey! Those are my bugs”

LOL!!!!
Please forgive me but can i ask for another picture with a lizard having his hind foot caught in a Venus flytrap? And maybe a burning bush eating up a bird.

Would his tongue ever get stuck when he and the fly-trap were after the same bug?

:-) I actually considered a frog with his tongue stuck in a Venus flytrap’s “mouth”.
I’m feeling majorly out of it and the drawing muse that guides my hand must have had other business today. I found it is hard to draw a creature in action that you’ve never had a chance to observe. My version of a flying squirrel looked like a funky kite. I’ll shoot for something doubly good next week. ~Nadine~

Is that a tongue or a thermometer? Is it a she? Highly adorable, whatever the specifics. Very cute, Nadine! I'm sorry you feel "out of it."

I'm reading a book by Stephen Hawking, the brilliant physicist who has ALS (I think), and I feel compelled to ask "out of what? How do you know when you're in it?" and so on, just to be a brat and to prove that I might be smart enough to understand this book.

Where are you when you feel out of it? Good question! I guess we could write Stephen Hawkins and ask. I bet he knows. He is still hanging in there, isn't he?
It is SUPPOSE to be a thermometer and its me in my witchy black cat disguise. lol. I like what the anti-depressant does for my sleep patterns, but it is making my hands shaky. Doc says that will pass. ~Nadine~

Well, he does have ALS, and I believe he was still hanging in there, at least when this book was published earlier this year he was. You're cute with the thing on your head and all, you sweet young thing! We've gotten into protons and anti-protons, quarks and anti-quarks and other things I barely understand.

He is 68, nearly 69. Quite an accomplishment in and of itself when you stop to consider he was given a life expectancy of a few years while in his 20's. (Sure doesn't look his age. There was a photo of him taken a few years ago on his website. It showed him in 0 g. I guess no gravity makes everyone look younger. I hope we have lunar retirement colonies by the time I start losing the battle with gravity.I remember hearing he was very ill last year from some sort of chest infection. Obviously, he recovered.

And here you go Carrie. Yeah, I guess this would happen if the two were after the same bug.

TY, Nadine.

Stephen Hawking has no disability. His beautiful mind is never on this tiny little planet, He soars lightly up into a Macrosphere that includes the whole universe His mind has seen things that we can never comprehend. Can you imagine seeing a nursery where new stars are being born.(There is one in the belt of Orion the hunter.) He is also at home in the microsphere, Where the laws of physics are totally different, Where the particles are called by exotic names(kinda) up,down,strange etc. His mind has been in a black hole. His language is mathmatics and he knows it inside out.I love that man! He is my hero.
He was in a hospital in London with pnumonia. There was a lot of us praying for him. This Particle Accelerater at Cern will hopefully prove some of his theory. Guess i got kinda carried away.

Can't get it using cut & paiste either.

Try this:

the URL just had the forward slash at the end instead of the letter 'l'
