Here are some of my favorites for the year. I could have posted 10 different clematis photos. Clematis 'Anna Louise' From 2008 Misc Peony 'Barrington Belle' (I think that's the name!) From 2008 Misc Centaurea macrocephala From 2008 Misc Variegated calamint - it blooms for months and the variegated foliage really lights up small pockets of the garden. From 2008 Misc

Lucy, Maddy is so cute! They certainly give us a reason to smile, don't they. Makes life so much richer. I too thoroughly enjoy my 2 yrs 8 mo old GD, although right now we are going through that "no I not!" response anytime you ask her to do something, LOL! Kristy, Morgan is so beautiful! That is a wonderful shot of her in the water like that!

Dawn, It's always nice to meet someone and feel they actually enjoyed the interaction as much as you did. When it's someone you admire it makes it even better. Dawna, I had to laugh when I read your post. Disney Channel is on rarely here. Amber does have a few of her songs on her Ipod though. I get the lowdown on what's hip when she plugs the Ipod into the sound system and rocks out. :-) randy

OT Fall is my favorite season - how about you?

In Northern California on vacation just now, I saw Icebergs in full bloom and my mother's Marie Pavie (a cutting from mine!) blooming away with such perfect form and scenting the air around her. On return home, everything is frozen, grey and brown. What a downer. At work people were telling me that they knew I was in a bad mood. Well, duh. I was snarling at everyone. So the start of winter is the worst. By January, I usually come to acceptance. It's the Kubler-Ross stages of grief every #*$&(*% year. Sigh. Denial: "It's not that bad. It won't be that bad. It's actually beautiful in the winter." (October) Anger: "I hate this f***ing place! Why do we have to live here?!" (November-December) Bargaining: "Can we just PLEASE move somewhere with a year-round growing climate? Please, please, please...?" (December) Depression: "Maybe if I just eat enough chocolate I will get enough phenylethylamine to get through." (December, and 20 pounds of chocolate later...) Acceptance: "Well I may as well get chores done and dream of beautiful gardens." (January/February...if I'm lucky). Then the winds come in March/April the new growth gets ripped to shreds, and I start all over again.

You've got a lot going on in that basement. Everything looks great... Braden included. Looks like a happy guy!

Everything looks great Elizabeth. Mine is so cluttered up I can't get to everything. I'll be so glad to be able to move some things into the greenhouse soon. So many little things were hidden behind bigger things that I didn't see and have lost quite a few. I need to do some rearranging in there so I get get to the little ones better.

Please share your Hypertufa method.

Elizabeth no matter how this year will be...that heartwarming smile of Braden is going to be with you always. Which makes 2009 already a great year, right?

I LOVE pictures and like you, it is so much fun looking BACK and see ALL the joy you had with them. Have you all noticed that hardly ever do we normal people take pictures of SAD etc events?

Glad we have so much joy to share!

Thanks Elizabeth

Hypertuffa, is a mixture of peatmoss sifted, portland
cement,fibermesh,pearlite or vermiculite, you can use kitty
litter buckets or wet sand as a mold, it's lighter than cement but has the look of cement & it can stay outside all year

Did you know there is a hypertufa forum on GardenWeb?

Here is a link that might be useful: Hypertufa Forum

So I checked out this forum, to find out what the heck you guys were talking about, and came across the link, below, in one of the threads. Pretty cool. I don't see myself going to the trouble, but if somebody wants to make me a birdbath, a couple of good sized planters, and some stepping stone, that'd be great! LOL. So who has some Hypertufa that they've made? Let's see some pics.

utility bill. but come Feb. I will just use a heater at night.

WOW! Beautiful green room full of plants. That is probably what I should have done instead of building my greenhouse. Heating would be much easier to control. ha ha

Your grandson is gorgeous. I love all those little blonde curls. ha ha. What a little womanizer. :)

it's good to see you, that boy loves the ladies, he is a
ladies man, I have a GH it's sitting in the Garage waiting
to be put up in Feb. I just found a propane heater for $79.00, I will only use the GH for the beginning of the season, & the end of the season.
I bet you love your GH
