It is hard to keep up with them, Carrie. I fell asleep in the recliner last night so I was only on for a few minutes after I woke up - just checked to make sure I wasn't left out of anything to exciting!! Eleanor
p.s. - Victor, don't you have a matching pair of eyes? I just realized that eyes don't always match - I have a cousin that has a blue eye and a brown eye!!

Yes, they look pretty close. I was joking.

That's a very nice 'gateway to your soul', Victor. I'm afraid my camera would not be able to take a photo as crisp as that.

South China, ME(Zone 5a)

Victor, you have green-brown eyes huh? Don't feel bad, I have freaky eyes as i've been told. Depending on my mood, they change color, they range from a gray-blue, to blue-green. They also change with what I am wearing, sometimes it becomes a pain.

The Monadnock Region, NH(Zone 5a)

Mine change with the barometric pressure, too. Blue to green.

South China, ME(Zone 5a)

Candyce, did you ever have someone come up to you when your eyes were green and say "I thought you had blue eyes?"
It happens to me all the time. Now DH looks at the color of my eyes and he can tell if im sad, sick, happy or up to no-good!
They are a very sea blue-green when in up to no-good!

The Monadnock Region, NH(Zone 5a)

Oh yeah. People do that all the time. It gets annoying enough so that when I go out now, not that I go out hardly ever, I try to wear something teal-colored. It keeps my eyes from changing.

I was going to wear a beautiful teal-colored jacket to our RU in October, but the day was just too doggone hot.

Lower Hudson Valley, NY(Zone 6b)

Like mood rings?! No - as I said, they're really much greener, with a splat of gold / light brown. My optometrist called it a 'sunshine' patter.

Milton, MA(Zone 6a)

If I wear HOT pink, my eyes are really blue,, but I hardly ecer do, so they hadly ever are,. Most of my official documents say "green', because there isn't space to put "green-gold-hazel-blue-other". My eyes are in shape etc. pretty ordinary. On the other hand, DH has the most bee-yoo-ti-ful eyes ever. HUGE, look like they would look well on Bambi, long, dark, thick, luxurious eyelashes, and he can barely see. (Uncorrectable in one eye, and bad inoperable cataracts in both.) Oh well. gotta go order stuff from catalogs! XXx, C

Isn't your DH a pilot for Jet Blue?

I was thinking the same thing, AYC!

Southwest , NH(Zone 5b)

Yikes!

Milton, MA(Zone 6a)

NO! He always wanted to be a pilot, but they checked his eyes when he was 14 or 15 and said sorry, sonny, why don't you concentrate on something else? He was in the AirForce, and flew zillions of hours on missions in planes, but not as the pilot. He works for jetBlue in a terribly terrestrial capacity in their control tower, calculating how many thousand pounds of fuel it takes to fly how many pounds of aircraft plus how many pounds of passengers to SLC and back, which plane should go to which gate, do we have enough de-icing fuel and equipment on hand for the next Nor'easter, which baggage carousel are the bags going to, OMG someone just drove a jet bridge into a Mercedes-Benz, what the bleep was a Merc doing on the tarmac anyway? Sort of the Mommy of the jetBlue end of the airport.

My last couple post - on totally different threads or even forums - have been about DH - he's been working 11:30pm to 4:30 am and I miss him xxx, C

This is part of my stupid camera I don't use. Never learned the how to. It has a macro lense that will take a picture of a pimple on a flea.

Sounds like a new category for the photo contest next year: pimples on fleas.

Goosebumps on grasshoppers?

This is beginning to sound like new lyrics for "My Favorite Things"...

South China, ME(Zone 5a)

One of my favorite songs at this timeof the year! Shall we put a new twist on it??

(Arlene) Southold, NY(Zone 7a)

Pixils on Pixie.

Lower Hudson Valley, NY(Zone 6b)

For these days - goosebumps on gardeners!

The Monadnock Region, NH(Zone 5a)

Oh! Good one, Victor!
Wish I had your wit!

South China, ME(Zone 5a)

South China, ME(Zone 5a)

little seed packets tied up with string,

Lower Hudson Valley, NY(Zone 6b)

South China, ME(Zone 5a)

Good Grief Victor!

Lower Hudson Valley, NY(Zone 6b)

Hee hee!

'when the tick bites, when the bee stings, Victors runs like mad!'

Lower Hudson Valley, NY(Zone 6b)

'...when the bee stings, when I'm swelling, when I breathe now and then, I simply remember my favorite things, and then I say thanks - Epi-Pen!'

For a quick change of subject, here's my new entryway tile.

nice...very nice. Did you seal the grout?

Lower Hudson Valley, NY(Zone 6b)

Thanks - it's the newer epoxy grout. No sealing needed.

(Arlene) Southold, NY(Zone 7a)

Very nice, Victor.

Long Beach, CA(Zone 10a)

Are you a tile setter? My dad was in the tile business for 40 plus years. We had the ugliest tile on the street...pink and gray in the bathroom and turquoise and red in the kitchen. It came with our very "chic " 50's tract house. LOL

Lower Hudson Valley, NY(Zone 6b)

Thanks.

Ha! Not only don't I have the ability nor desire to learn, but if I attempted it with my back and knee problems, I would be crippled. It's a great talent and the people who did my job were excellent. I have enough work left with baseboards, painting, etc.

Upper Hudson Valley, NY(Zone 5a)

Beautiful, Victor! Love the color! Eleanor

Southwest , NH(Zone 5b)

Very, very nice, Victor!!!

Milton, MA(Zone 6a)

Wow..... excuse me while I wipe the drool off my key board. Over the tile, you ninnies, the tile! The guy who did the excuse-for-a-backsplash in my bathroom was an idiot, and i was a bigger idiot for not having a written contract.

Today was the tenth anniversary of the night my husband and I met. :>)

x, C
