That spider sure worked for his dinner. My own observation of this Tuesday morning. Nice, cool and overcast morning. Had three errands to run and got done before 10 AM. It is so nice to go out in cool weather. Have figured out that Tuesday morning is about the best time to run errands around here. Hardly any traffic and plenty of parking. Don't know why but we make plans to do our stuff on a Tuesday, if possible.

I'll try it, mantis. Thank you, nat, kay, jean and CTC. I think I took over 100 photos this morning, but these were the standouts for me. Debra, I thought you might like Anatomy of Change. It's supposed to pinch regularly (although it's not as pink as I've seen on Curt's website photos). Rita, let me know if you decide to break down and buy it. I think Browns Ferry Gardens had it at at a decent price at the beginning of the season. Maybe I'll break down and buy another southern baby, too.

Yes I have picked out colors! A few years ago we did manage to paint the room a nice soft sage green. Don't remember the color, the can is in the garage. Last year I found some file folders at Tuesday Morning that are a paisley pattern with green, pink and orange, those are my colors! With white trim. I have found some fabric bins at Home Goods for my fabric, mostly flannel remnants. That will go on the shelves. I think what I am going to have to do is start small. I just don't have room to do it all at once, wish I did! Right now there is an old dresser in the corner, I have cleared it out and it is going to my mom's house. Once I get that out, I can attack that corner. The walls need another coat of paint, and then I can put my shelves up. This giving me a place for my fabric. Now here is the dilema, I have an old sewing machine that was DH's grandmother's. I believe that grandpa made the table that it is in. I don't use the machine I use my old Bernina. Do I keep it? Use the table for something? Will have to wait till I get that side of the room cleared out. Right now there is carpet in here, but we just recently put down laminate in the hallway and master, and I love it! I want to put laminate in here as well. I think it will be an easier surface to work with and clean. Well today I have to finish painting trim downstairs and finish organizing the linen closet. I am trying to start small and realize one step at a time. DH is going fishing next weekend, annual 'guys' trip, so maybe I can get some work done then! Thanks all, keep the ideas coming! Laura PS I would post pics, but the room is such a mess I am afraid it would break the camera lens!

Startle can throw some very nice flowers. And then.... The flowers on Sharky's Revenge all seem perfect. It's my fave, but I would like a little more height. I like the variant forms to stand above the rest of the garden.
