Hi George ,
Just got back from my 4 kilometer jog this morning .
Took some Pics . It was Foggy out .
Some nice spider webs . Real cool .

And here is one of them .

I keep meaning to take the camera to work to get pics. The weather has been perfect for it.

And another .

Wow! The pics are just professional! Gives the sense of Australian Fall. Or Indian Summer?
As soon, as I get anew cam, I will also make pics, when I jog in the wilderness.
The spider web deserves a contest participation.

I`m 1/2 way between .
The Gold Coastn on one side & The Mountains on the other .
Although I am closer to the Wilderness .

Isn`t that a famous line from the Terminator ?

I think so. Been a long time since I saw that movie.

Looks like the new Lap Top is pushed back a few weeks
with all the moola you spent on new plants ?

More like a year at least. Have to do some body work on truck-rust, buy new hearing aids and new earmolds. Those require serious money.

Hearing aids ???
Are you Partly Deaf ?

Congratulations Pepper, you've got at least 4 plants indigenous to NA in your order! The Aquilegia is a real nice shade plant. I've got a thing for hostas myself and should really pick up a few more. I think your one Hosta might be Halcyon not Haleyon. I am particularly fond of Halcyon. It's a good staple in and amongst other hostas. What is a StanleyA-Pinnata? Today I stopped at Home Depot. I told myself I would not buy one more plant but they had these really nice Tall Bearded Iris... and how could I say no to these plants. The cultivar is 'Autumn Circus'. I don't know if it is a rebloomer or not but I'm sort of hoping it is.

Ugh, hearing aids. I've got the new earmolds but need an electronic FM pack to filter so that hearing aids will be functional for me. I'm putting that off for as long as my family will put up with me. I'm sort of liking my nice silent world. Well Pepper, looks as if you and me have something else in common. We are deaf or at least on our way. Pity health insurance doesn't cover any of the costs.

I know. Hearing loss is so common you think they would. Ginger, I have moderately severe hearing loss or about 18% of my hearing. My hearing loss has never gotten worse. We think something happened to make me this way but back then they didn't run tests when you were born so we will probably never know for sure. I wear VERY expensive hearing aids that have to be replaced about every 5 years or so and insurance does not cover it.

Equil, the Halcyon is probably right. Tags are a little worn. We had a native plant nursery there seliing plants and I made sure to hit them. I really want natives so I have very little tending to do. The Aquliega was supposed to be a gift but may keep it now. lol. My mom really likes the ice plant. That's her favorite.

It would if you were in OZ .
The HI take 1% out of our weekly pay packets .
And that covers our Health .
But not for Extras like Lipo suction , Breast enlargements , etc .
or Cosmetic Surgery .

yeah, some insurance is like that here

Are you sure that Ice Plant you bought is a woody? Just curious.

I'm at over 50% hearing loss. Partially inherited and partially environmental. Hearing loss happens to other people... not to you. Needless to say I wasn't wearing hearing protection when I was working on my property and volunteering in natural areas with my chainsaw. Now I wear hearing protection when I vacuum and when I am working on wood projects with the kids. Actually, I wear it anytime I am going to be around any type of loud noise.

Say what! No lipo suction in Australia! That settles it, I'm never moving there!

Hey Eqi ,
There Wouldn`t be enough room for the two of US .
So there . Take that .

I dunno, I saw that pic of you in drag and you're pretty skinny and I'm not exactly harpoonable myself either so I'm thinking there would be room for the two of us particularly if I had some lipo suction to my thighs to extract some of this cellulite that seems to just hang around on woman around 50 before I came down under and settled in to get me some of dem dare Drosera you Aussies are stashing! I do like those little penguins too. Maybe I could have a few as pets and get me a few rhinestone studded collars and strut them down the Gold Coast!

Equilibrium

I will have to share that with my husband. That's pretty funny!

LOL. Hail damage.

My pet Roo / Rooster wants to be in on everything .

That cobalt looks really nice against the brick. Great contrast.

The rooster is a nice touch too!

He never says much ?

LOL. No you do all the talking for him.

Did you get all your plants planted ?
All my pots are full .

I got some planted. The rain let up this morning so when I got home from work I got to work. Planted the Stanley plant, both hostas, tall phlox, coneflower, clematis, and the gerianum. I also transplanted cannas from pots to the ground. They aren't very tall but the roots were plentiful so I went ahead and put them in. They are better off in the ground anyways with all this rain we are getting.

Also bought 2 more clematis and 5 more merlin's magic coleus today.

Sounds like a plan .
You will be rewarded very soon .
Clematis is already flowering .

The one I planted is. The 2 I bought today aren't. But I have seen the flowers on them so I know what to expect.

Do yall have these 1/2 pots in US ?
