**SWEET INTERRUPTION** 5

Marion, aren't you supposed to be in the 'dungeon'? Lol!!!

Well, ladies, MINE may not be eye candy to most people, but he is to me, You see, I remember when..... And when he looks at me, he's the same dark haired, browneyed hunk he was back then, over 50 years ago!

marion, i'll get him to come to my house someday and you can come meet him. he lives in tenn. but also has a house on fla.

And here's my eye candy look alike...
Remember, I won't post a pic of Don on the web... but he looks just like this...

Oh, Kathy... can you get him to come when we're all at your house?

LOL... hubby's so cute.

Then, we all go to Gulf Shores to meet... HUH?

It's not easy being green...
Ain't he a cutie pie, Sis :P

Jordan, love your hubby and is his pal the snowman or the dog? LOL

Eye candy.........swoooooooon...........

Yes suppose to be in dungeon but keeping coming up for air---pouring rain and I just can't keep my mind on what I'm doing today.

OHhhhh love the picts Kathy! Always have had soft spot for the Grinch. BJ, I've seen your before and agree--gret eye candy.

Oh it does a single woman's heart good.

Okay Jaye, I'll give you that one too but I still like my eye candy..

At least your mind's not plastered to the dungeon Marion!

Yes, BJ's man does have that certain debonair look.

Nope, was going through some boxes and putting things in storage under the house but the rains have stopped that!! Fortunately the previous owners had finished underneath and there are really great storage shelves down there. Getting all my gardening things together--yeap some were in a corner.

Wish I can remain organize...another lifetime maybe :D

Well, ok... I admit, Don's not really "eye candy" to some people... he definitely can't compete with Tom.
But he does have that "look of character"... yep, and sort of debonair, in a rugged sort of way...

Lucky for you, huh Marion? Ready made shelving... what a deal!!!

BJ, if Don looks like the pic, he IS a hunk!!

hehehe... well, Audrey... he's my little HUNK...

Good for you BJ! He's the grandest hunk of them all!
Kel says there's one thing that he got that Tom doesn't...and it's me. Whattaman!!

Oh, Jaye... Kel has much more than that on Tom... like privacy ... think of all that famous ppl have to go through... I wouldn't want that life.

"Kelvin's Floodlight"
This dahlia is about 8 inches across. Needs staking.
Yep, a dahlia with his name. Much to his amusement, as dahlias are his favorite flowers.

Oh, that is so beautiful... and I'm sure Kel gets a kick out of having a flower named after him.... and it was, ya know... and don't ever tell him differently.

So true BJ. That's what I say too. We do value our privacy don't we.
Something the rich and famous couldn't afford!

Lowly marigolds, competing for attention.

You know what I mean..they couldn't afford total privacy..they need the publicity to promote themselves!

Variegated Angel Wings Begonia

I have a question for anybody who has gathered zinnia seed from their plants.
When do I harvest the seed heads?
When the flower fades? or when the stem begins to dry up?
I want to narrow down the mix my sister gave me from her garden last year... just want to keep my favorites... and I have them tagged... but don't know when to harvest seed.

If I ever finish what I'm doing, I'll take my camera outside again... it's way too hot to be out there for that.

Interesting question. C'mon Deborah, you don't need your mouth to type the answer.
Never grown zinnias. Did you try googling BJ?

This is Kel's first Dahlia that he planted 4 years ago. Never failed to return.

Try that link BJ.

My late mum's favorite jasmine. Asians used them in weddings, besides the famous jasmine rice. Also to scent drinking water.
In Cairo, Egypt, you'll see them everywhere, even on cabbies' dashboards.
Forgot to add the name...."Maid of Orleans"
