Another silly name for a pretty rose
Q
Comments (10)
This is a rose I asked about previously. It has half a dozen names, at least. All of them better than this one. I wonder what marketing genius said, "Let's forget about all those other names and come up with something really stupid that only cooking show diva fans can relate to. It'll bring in a whole new market!" Uh, don't think so. It's so pretty in the few pictures I've seen. I hope it grows as well as its hype says it will. BTW it was sold through White Flower Farm last year as "Sweet Parfum de Provence". I remember looking it up on HMF.

DH has cut and finished the edges of a quartz slab, and he is a woodworker (in his spare time anyway) so we should be able to handle this. I did see the other 'styles.' The Magazite reminds me of a painting that hung in the hallway of my elementary school. I remember staring at it every time I walked past, but it bothered me there was too much going on. I'm more of a solid color kind of gal. I also love metal and may go with stainless. I am happy though there are more options on the market because I think stone alternative countertops are pretty cool. The website said they get some of their materials from farmers, and my FIL will get a kick out of that since he's twiddling his thumbs waiting for the ground to dry out. A man can only play so much golf.

Ha, ha! My blackspotted piece of cr*p is Abe Darby. We all have one or two, don't we? But a delicious fragrance and gorgeous blooms can atone for much. I love the plum shades in your collection! I saw Violet's Pride at the nursery last year and tried really hard to convince myself that purchasing it was necessary to my health and wellbeing. The fragrance is sweet and the color is wonderful! And who doesn't love Downton Abbey and Maggie Smith? Carol

Well, not yet )c; She is way more swollen than she was a few days ago, and her bag is bigger. My father says that some will show signs for a month some a few days and some won't even show any signs just show up with a baby. So? Who knows, very frustrating.

When was she bred? Do you have an estimate? Seems like she's be prego forever!
Is she bred to a Jersey bull? Can't wait to see pics of the new bambino soon! Pray for a heifer calf.

Well, I am thinking that she must of bred the day we bought her and (around the first of March) picked her up!!! LOL She was running with a bull so we kinda assumed that she at least would have bred back when they took her calf and sold it. But my dad said perhaps she was not in good condition so she didn't breed back till-- like when we bought her. He said not to worry about her, she is in great condition now, even right through our 106 degree days she stayed fat as a butter ball. Dad said he can't believe she stayed looking so good, since Jersey's always look like they are starving to death especially in the heat. But that is the Guernsey part of her I guess. Everything I have read says that crossing them with Guernsey really toughens them up for hotter regions.

She is bred to a Charolais. Really, should be ANY day now, I can't wait either. I told my aunt I bet that Daisy (cow) wishes we really would get a few more cows so we would stop worrying her to death. She is doing great considering she was just a pasture cow. She does seem to like the attention and getting fed daily.

Have you had the vet out to check her? The vet was at our place when I was waiting for the last 2 heifers to freshen LONG after the others. Vet checked her and said she'd go any day. Well, she went about 2 weeks later, but at least I knew she was okay. EAsed my mind a bit. Vet will be able to tell just how far along she is.
I don't think Jerseys look thin. I've been aroudn them my entire life and never thought that... that is until we now have beefers. Now they look thin standing next to the pigs that we call beef cows!

Well, the vet saw her and checked her out a few weeks ago and thought everything was good, He did the TB and brucelosis tests and of corse they were both negative. I think it is coming soon, I think it is simply that she was a pasture cow that ran with bull and there was no reason for the owner then to worry, or pay attention to breeding just took them as they came. We on the other hand have no other cows and are a little too worried about this one. She wishes we would get a life!! Driving her crazy I think. Well, I guess jerseys are not really thin, but you know their frame work always shows more bones than the beefers. I have to admit I like to look at a fat cow, very well conditioned. I don't want anyone thinking I am starving her. She gets all she wants of hay/grass, and I am now increasing her feed, I have been worried about letting the baby get too big. My suggested we didn't feed her any sweet feed till after the baby, he changed his recomendation when I reminded him that she was going to be a milk cow and was still in training. We keep her on a regular schedule and feeding her in her milking chute is part of her routine. He raises beef cows, likes to see them fat too, but is wary of calves getting too large for easy delivery.
