JT's visit to New York

14 years ago

JT arrived last week. We have been very busy building a greenhouse and then we caught colds, so I have not felt like posting until today. I will get JT off to her next destination tomorrow (I forgot to bring the box with me to work today).

JT was nervous when she arrived, but jasmine made her feel right at home.

JT was eager to help us with the greenhouse.

JT says, "Safety First".

When I wasn't looking, she climbed a tree.

She couldn't help but want to smell the Sweet Autumn Clematis, but I was worried she would fall when she climbed so high.

Here she is checking out the new garden and the bird tree.

"I could live here," she exclaims.

After all her naughty behavior, climbing on things, I had to give her a time out.

But after all her excitement, she just wanted to take a nap.

Here are the goodies I took from the box. Several knobs for use as perches on birdhouses, a pretty brass piece I will probably hang on the shed, some glass fishes that I may use for a mosaic, some wooden spindles and molding, some old nails and cow tags (DH was excited about those since he grew up on a dairy farm), some hummingbird feeder parts, bottle of sand, eye bolts, colored wooden sticks, and a plant hanger.

Great photos and you found some goodies to keep too! Jasmine looks like a sweetie, I'm sure JT enjoyed her company. What are you planning to do with the cow tags?

She likes to wear lamp shades and chase after little furry guys, so keep an eye on that little dickens! And make sure you get plenty of pictures just in case you need to blackmail her too. I bet she wanted a tattoo after getting close to that Harley in Milwaukee. I bet Harley Hog talked her into it! And thank God my mother's little dog wasn't still alive because she would have literally loved JT to pieces! She was a little Min Pin who could jump about 4 feet in the air. It was hard to find a place high enough for little "people" like JT so she wouldn't get them. She always tore up little stuffed toys. I don't know how many times I caught her looking like Santa with their white stuffing hanging from her chin and a look on her face that said, "Who me? I didn't do anything bad!"

Dave, osprey already went to NYC, so any advice is too late. Osprey simply could have googled for 'NY botanical gardens' and would have found 2 at least. I live 3 hrs north of NYC and would have liked to visit the New York Botanical Garden and/or the Brooklyn BG one day, but in 40 years never have. The NYBG has a conifer garden, though I do not know how extensive. But I read in my local newspaper about it, especially saw a picture of pinus mugo 'Sea Urchin', which right after that I bought from Greer Gardens and love it. There certainly must be people in NYC, loving conifers and know where to go. Bernd

"Yes, we were all a little shocked when our city (Oakland) showed up on the list." Well, Oakland, per se, didn't show up as #39 on the list. It was the entire East Bay region. What was written is: "While the Bay Area’s identity is dominated by beautiful, booming San Francisco, its soul increasingly seems to reside in the East Bay, where the population is growing faster than any other corner of this fast-growing region. The elegant new Bay Bridge has been a costly engineering failure, but its graceful white lines lead to Alameda County’s glorious inland climate, thriving arts scene and a vibrant culinary culture with roots in Berkeley’sChez Panisse. In Oakland alone, some 300 new restaurants, including Bib gourmand winners like the Provencal-style French brasserieMichel Bistro and the autological Ramen Shop, anda dozen urban wineries have opened in recent years. Ten minutes away, in the island town of Alameda, a collection of former Naval Air Station hangars now houses breweries, distilleries and wineries in what has been dubbed “Spirits Alley.” This year will see groundbreaking on the first public park associated with Brooklyn Basin, a massive (and controversial) mixed-use development that will transform the Oakland Estuary’s waterfront."

OMG, I loved every picture, IdaClaire!! Thank you so much for sharing. You're a talented photographer. As others suggested, I hope you make a keepsake book of your photos. Too often, we forget to PRINT our travel pictures and maybe it's just me but enjoying digital travel memories doesn't warm my heart that much. I'm so glad you enjoyed Manhattan and totally related to your solo discovery. One of my favourite lifetime experiences. Couldn't help but smile at your recollection of the honking drivers.

Yippee! I am so thrilled your DH liked the cow tags! I have quite a few that I am going to use for decorating with, but I wanted to share some with my GJ buddies. Glad you are going to do something with the glass fish. I couldn't get around to a project for them, but knew someone else could come up with a great idea. The only other thing I see from me is the little blue and green candle holder. I was kinda thinking the center for a plate flower but just didn't have time to make any.
I forgot to post my pics of what I got from the box so guess I better do that,too. I know who one of my treasures came from, so it will be cool to see who sent the other ones.
You got a great haul, girl. Looks like you will be very busy!! Happy crafting!!

Dont you send J.T. down here to TX with a New York accent! I'll have to completely retrain her to 'talk rite'. Bless 'er heart. How we gonna keep her down on the farm now that she's been to New York? It's a good thing she got to play in your garden and do a decent day's work. Where is she headed next? ; )

JT is heading to TN now. And just because she was in NY, don't think she wasn't in the country...LOL. There are some real rednecks in Upstate NY. And I mean Upstate as in really upstate (almost to Canada). I hate it when people call their area upstate and they are just outside the city...LOL. Don't worry about the accent, I am really from Virginia, so when I get mad, I still have a little southern twang to my voice. ;)

And I have no idea what I am going to do with the cow tags....DH just had to have them since he grew up on a dairy farm....might make cute Christmas ornaments on the right tree....

Great pics of JT but I noticed she is bald now! Whatever happened to her long blond locks? lol She looks like she had a wonderful time at your house and made herself right at home with Jasmine (who is a very pretty kitty). It looks like she brought along some wonderful things too. Isn't she fun? I can't wait to see where she visits next!
