every time i post to this thread i'll get up and do at least 10 bends and 5 pushups. here i go... wish me luck... if you don't hear back from me... :) :) :)

if you were local you send someone to come dig up some from here. i've already killed off a large patch of them that were taking up a vegetable garden but we still have some in other places i wouldn't mind getting rid of, orange, red, yellow - not sure if any of them are Stella D’Oro.

i have never in my life regifted a fruitcake - i will have to take it at some other's word as if they've done such a strange thing...

that is yet another reason why i like to keep it simple. my bucket with tools in it usually contains: my mud shoes, a knife, the shovel, the scraper and the cultivator. one bucket. and another bucket for weeds that go to to the weed pile that i don't want to bury (most of the time there's not...

we had flood and flash flood watches and warnings out for yesterday and last night but i've never been worried about it flooding here badly enough that it causes damage to the house. it is so flat here that it would take storms dropping several feet of rain at a time for us to get floods up...

glad nobody was hurt.

we don't need any more rain. wish i could send it out west where they need it so badly... it's been raining quite a few hours and it looks like there's a lot more coming - hope it goes south of us. can't quite tell.

i've yet to meet a fruitcake i didn't like... even those ones that people get for the holidays that almost nobody likes - for some reason i do... i've heard them called doorstops. sugar, sugar and more sugar and chewy textures and various fruits and nuts. however the much better ones our...

hahaha, while looking at something else i found some pictures from way back that i thought i had lost. :) most of them won't get posted but at least now i have the originals instead of only thumbnail sized ones that i had loaded to my website on-line. oh yay, more projects to do... :) :) :)

fences required up to above the browseline of any critters that might do that in your area. otherwise they're pretty and smell great. if you do fence them leave enough room so they can grow out but then also the critters will trim them for you when they reach the size of the fence. so make...

and, well, make sure the place you're planting has the right kind of soil and drainage for whatever you are planting.

plenty of rain this morning so far. hope it will be mostly done soon...

there's a lot of questions you need to ask about those too, like where were they made and did they use lead or whatever else in the glaze and what's in the clay and ...

i'm sorry, at a distance we're not able to deal with medical emergencies and unfortunately with you being recently ill we also can't tell if "pain in your chest" etc. means leftovers from being sick or a more serious problem. it's tough and even harder if your partner isn't able or willing to...

it will certainly spread into a lawn even if you do mow it. i much more enjoyed it than grasses but the odor may not be what some people enjoy. i would recommend avoiding the silvery foliage yellow flowering varieties (if you were planning on mowing or walking on them) of yarrow though as they...
