Butterfly Garden

Oklahomans, Please Post When You Can

12 years ago

Another round of disastrous tornadoes, this time in Oklahoma. I know you're in Oklahoma City, Susan, and they showed tornadoes in or near the city. I think Sandy is further east, near Tulsa, so she's probably okay, but this tornado season has been so horrific, who knows?

I don't know where the others from OK live, like Lisa and Randy - please post when you can!

I'm in OKC, just north of Susan by a few miles. I'm fine. The tornadoes were north, south and west of me. I did get 1.5 inches of rain, combined with last week's 3 inches, my ground is happy.

Thanks for starting this thread. I am in SE Oklahoma where we really didn't get more than a big breeze and about an inch of rain, but was concerned about some of the others that live near OKC. Please know you are in my thoughts and prayers and hope all is well with each of you.

I got my package laurastheme! You packed some really neat things. I LOVE the little scale.....my DH uses one just like that but much bigger to weigh his fish. The bigger ones were once used to weigh cotton that had been fresh picked from the fields. Not sure what these little ones were used for. I will have to hide it or they will get off with it for their fish! The blue and green bowl was soooo pretty....and I hate to report but what WAS a lovely plate flower and is no longer quite as lovely. The big plate was in many pieces and the PVC had come off but the small plate, bowl and marble are intact so I can fix that by replaceing the plate. I think my favorite was your unique card with the adorable pic and you, mother and brothers! as well as your book. That was so special and I feel so honored that you chose to share your writings with me. I liked everything in my box and I will post pics soon, for now just wanted to let you know I am one happy recipient!!!! :))

You might try posting your question to the bog garden forum where "dendy" originally posted. You could also try searching on this forum (pond and aquatic plants)for "bog" or "bog filters". Be sure to read through all the posts and follow any links provided-- they often lead to other good info &/or photos. Not sure if my bog filter is anything like you are wanting, but I'm including the link, just in case. Good luck, Sherry Here is a link that might be useful: bog filter

I "tetrissed" DD's closet today. She is 20 and away at college. She also spent the summer away at an internship and was only home for a few days. We replaced her carpet this summer, so all of her things were moved into DS's room. She only brought a portion of her stuff back to school this year and intends to rescue the rest at some point, but I need at least one of the other bedrooms to be guest-ready! She had most of her heavier-weight clothes in a duffel, which fit on the floor of her closet. Her bin of pots and dishes fit on a shelf, as did her 5 or 6 bags of other miscellanea. Finally, I was able to fit her music stand on top of the drawer unit. Thank goodness she has a large closet! Now if I could only get her brother home for a few days to do a purge of his clothes and books!

A coastal cottage look might contain interior 4 1/4" flat casing on the two sides, with a horned-sill and 5" apron and head casing. All joinery is butt-jointed. That's about as simple as it gets, while also creating a traditional appearance. Your local bookstore or library will have an endless supply of photos found in the traditional home section of the magazine rack. Good luck!

I am fine here, and the garden has loved all this rain and lightening (nitrogen charged air). It looked pretty ominous at first, but as usual, the tornados went just North and just South of us. Why that is the normal pattern, I don't know since I am not a weather bug like those on the Oklahoma forum. Even I think that 2 pages of weather warnings is a bit of an overkill, not to mention an insult as I am perfectly capable of turning on the TV, the radio, etc. I am thoroughly disgusted with that forum and would love to talk gardening, other than weather and vegetables, for a switch, but it seems I am the sub-norm, not to mention that it has become completely dominated by certain individual(s) with all the answers. Ohm......ohm.......ohm......ohm. OK - I had my rant and my blood pressure is coming down now!! Deep breath....... I am such a bad, bad girl! Teehee!

I had lots of butterflies yesterday before the storm, so I am thrilled things are picking up in that respect.
