Coffee Break #10 - Summer in Spring

Calgary, AB(Zone 3a)

Did you feed your papershredder some metalic nutrients flowerjen? I discovered ours is allergic to staples and paper clips.

South China, ME(Zone 5a)

Ha ha ha D-nut!!!

I need the saucers in my backyard everything seems to get fried back there but with all this rain totally different story.


lol
I'm real careful about that, more pages to a little booklet than I thought, got stuck, now it's making some real funky noises and not shredding anymore. I'm giving it a rest and we'll see what happens later. I have 1 1/2 little rubbermaid storage boxes of paperwork that I have to still shred.

South China, ME(Zone 5a)

Nows a good time to put out those rain barrels. We are crabbing now about too much rain and later we'll be crabbing too little!!

central, NJ(Zone 6b)

Ya, another suggestion for hubby that have yet to convince him of.

Calgary, AB(Zone 3a)

That doesn't sound good flowerjen :(

central, NJ(Zone 6b)

I know, I may have to break down and buy an industrial strength one.

Lower Hudson Valley, NY(Zone 6b)

Jen, do you mulch your pots and use the crystals??

I thought summer squash was just that and not Zucchinni? What gives with this?

So after all these years you think your eating zucchinni and its summer squash!

Lower Hudson Valley, NY(Zone 6b)

How do you think the zucchini feels?!

I like zucchini, but not summer squash.

You like summer squash now!

Lower Hudson Valley, NY(Zone 6b)

Nope.

How do you justify NOPE Victor?

Lower Hudson Valley, NY(Zone 6b)

I meant that I never had them mixed up. I knew the yellow (yuck) stuff was summer squash.

Lower Hudson Valley, NY(Zone 6b)

I'm sure all you Sox fans are sure glad Manny is gone! 50 game suspension for ped's. Just Manny being Manny.

Thomaston, CT

Glad the Mets stayed away from him---they have problems enough! Didn't deserve to win that game last night---they never get Santana runs----think he's going to do their work for them----I never thought Chan Ho Park was that good.

Lower Hudson Valley, NY(Zone 6b)

Yes, the Mets can make any washed-up pitcer look good! Santana is beyond fantastic. Hopefully it will not be like Seaver in the mid-70's.

central, NJ(Zone 6b)

Victor, yes and yes

Lower Hudson Valley, NY(Zone 6b)

Love when women say that!^_^

Questa, NM(Zone 5b)

I like summer squash AND zucchini so there!

Celeste, I was saying the exact same thing to myself. Oh, how I wish I had rain barrels. I was up at 3 or 4 this morning, listening to a downpour thunderstorm, thinking that I I had rain barrels, they'd be full!

Lower Hudson Valley, NY(Zone 6b)

How cool is this?!

Calgary, AB(Zone 3a)

I luv Lee Valley stuff.

Lower Hudson Valley, NY(Zone 6b)

Me too. I love how it's zippered and you can fill from the top. Also, 105 gallons is a lot! And you can remove it at the end of the season if you like.

Calgary, AB(Zone 3a)

It would be perfect for me as it would fill in the Joon Monsoon then I could disappear it once I've used it up. I would need a way longer hose though.

Land of OZ, CT(Zone 6a)

It's raining barrels here right now! Pouring! It's been pretty much raining all week...

Questa, NM(Zone 5b)

Yes, very cool. I added it to my wish list.

Pepperell, MA(Zone 6a)

i hate zucchini and love summer squash

Time for the bed. Maybe I will dream of blue hubbard or butternut.

Milton, MA(Zone 6a)

I love all squash, winter, summer, spring and fall squash too. DD likes winter squash, DH hates all squash. We don't eat a lot of squash.

South China, ME(Zone 5a)

Love all veggies except lima beans....just ate a huge bowl of fiddleheads today. ^_^
Really like that idea of a rain barrel.....thanks for the link.

Southwest , NH(Zone 5b)

Hi Everybody! We're back in the NE Kingdom, and I'm happy to be here. Thank you guys for those lovely remarks about us.....it surely goes both ways with each of you!!!! It was just wonderful meeting Victor at last. Hank and I both wish we had had longer to visit with him, especially when he was so kind to drive 30 miles to see us. Hank is howling about that "Honk if you're Hank" remark. That's so funny. As Victor and I both said during our visit, it was as if we had known each other forever, and it is truly the wonderful thing about the terrific people that have become such good friends through this website. Amazing! I just have to share one shot we took on the vacation part of our trip home. We had Toccoa Falls all to ourselves and it was truly magical. I'll be back on again soon, but for now, I am a woman possessed. This place NEEDS my attention NOW!! LOL

and here's one of the same falls with Hank in front to show you the perspective. The falls are 28 feet higher than Niagara Falls.....mystical indeed!! And note the spring flowers as well. Oh MY!!

I hate lima beans too Celeste!

Welcome home Louise!! What a beautiful falls. Where is it?

S of Lake Ontario, NY(Zone 6a)

Love lima beans!

Southwest , NH(Zone 5b)

Hi Harper!!! Thanks for the welcome.....so good to be back!! Toccoa Falls are in north Georgia along highway 441, which is sort of a waterfall trail. We also went to Tallulah Falls about 10 miles north of Toccoa. Tallulah didn't photograph as well because you had to stand way above the falls, but they were beautiful too. We just kept happening upon these gorgeous places and had them all to ourselves. At Toccoa, we had a sense of how it would be to just happen across the place unexpectedly. I hope we get to see you at some point over the summer!! Sam too!

Calgary, AB(Zone 3a)

Welcome home Louise ^_^ So happy you arrived safe and sound. I'm greeeeeeen about the fiddleheads pixie. A friend leaves for Halifax this weekend and I told her not to come home without eating them.

Lower Hudson Valley, NY(Zone 6b)

Hi Louise! Wow - those photos are stunning. That was in GA, correct?

I love lima beans too. Cooked in chicken broth.

Denville, NJ(Zone 6b)
